UPS Solutions and Server Rack Power Distribution

UPS Systems

Uninterruptable Power Supplies are an integral part of any server room power management strategy.  The primary role of any UPS is to provide short-term power when the input power source fails. However, most UPS units are also capable in varying degrees of correcting common utility power problems:

  1. Voltage spike or sustained Overvoltage
  2. Momentary or sustained reduction in input voltage.
  3. Noise, defined as a high frequency transient or oscillation, usually injected into the line by nearby equipment.
  4. Instability of the mains frequency.
  5. Harmonic distortion: defined as a departure from the ideal sinusoidal waveform expected on the line.

Eaton 93PM UPSEaton 93PM UPS

The Eaton 93PM UPS is the perfect three-phase white or gray space solution for modern data centers. The 93PM is compatible with lithium-ion UPS batteries, which are 40 percent smaller than VRLA batteries and have twice the lifespan, saving money on battery replacement costs and extra square footage for battery cabinets. The option of front-to-back or front-to-top ventilation maximizes deployment flexibility and lowers your cooling costs. In addition, you can add a number of optional, full integrated accessories for a complete system, including a maintenance bypass, a distribution cabinet (with input and output transformer options), a power distribution cabinet, parallel tie cabinets and battery cabinets as well as a wall-mounted or floor mounted bypass. Whether for a large data center, medical facility or educational institution, the efficiency provided by the 93PM can play a vital role in any low maintenance, ten-year power solution.

Rack Power Distribution Units

In data centers and IT labs everywhere, facilities are approaching operational capacity limits. Power resources are increasingly constrained. And the cost of energy is spiraling out of control.

You need to know how much power your operations are using and how much more you have available to work with. And where you can improve efficiency to save money and continue to grow.

What type of power is available to your rack?  ECS offers four types of PDUs:

  • Basic
    You need simple power distribution
  • Metered
    You want to visually monitor the power used by the equipment connected to your PDU.
  • Monitored
    You need to remotely monitor power consumption of connected equipment
  • Switched
     You want to reboot locked devices or sequence power on/off remotely

Units are available in 110v and 208v single and three phase.  Have questions, please ask us!

Some other questions to consider before purchasing your Rack PDUs:

  • What is the voltage of the equipment in your rack?
  • What type of outlets should the PDU have?
  • How many receptacles should the PDU have?
  • Do you need any special features?
    • Auto-transfer switching
      These PDUs include an integrated auto-transfer switch (ATS) that provides redundant power to single-corded devices.
    • Sensor port for environmental and security monitoring
      Some PDUs include a port for use with sensors that monitor temperature, humidity and contact-closure inputs.
