Advanced UPS for large data centres and critical applications

The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 UPS system provides highly energy-efficient, scalable, and reliable power protection for space-constrained environments. It is the most efficient UPS in its product class.

The PowerUPS 9000 is an energy-efficient, high-power density uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system with a compact footprint. It supports IT applications ranging from traditional computing to high-density applications. It is available globally in UL and CE models, with a power density of 250 to 1250kW per unit.

The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 features a high double-conversion efficiency of up to 97.5 percent. The system enables fast and easy installation, with top or bottom cable entry, back feed protection and ground fault kit options embedded in the system without extra space or on-site installation. The units are deployable anywhere globally, reducing potential procurement and service inconsistencies, delivery delays and downtime. 

Giovanni Zanei, Vice President, Large Power at Vertiv, said, “The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 UPS is engineered to maximise reliability, and efficiency and reduce footprint and complexity. Its modular structure and high-power density will deliver energy-efficient, reliable power protection that data centre customers are looking for to protect both traditional and mixed AI applications.”

Vikas Srivastava, Director—Medium/Large AC Power Offering, Vertiv India, said, “We at Vertiv are always committed to providing innovative solutions for our clients to help effectively power the next generation of data centres. Vertiv PowerUPS 9000’s universal compatibility and easy deployment reinforce our intent to simplify operations while optimising performance, delivering high value for customers in a compact and highly efficient module.”

The Vertiv™ PowerUPS 9000 is Vertiv’s most efficient UPS in its product class, with a physical footprint 32 percent smaller than previous generations. It is compatible with Vertiv™ EnergyCore lithium battery cabinet and other technologies, including Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) and Nickel-Zinc.

In the event of a fault, the affected module can isolate itself, thereby protecting the other modules and enabling continued operation. The continuous-duty solid-state static bypass switch optimises the bypass line, and the system is fully hot-service and hot-swappable, meaning maintenance and upgrades can occur without downtime.

The Vertiv™ PowerUPS 9000 can be enabled with Vertiv™ Next Predict, a preventative maintenance strategy with advanced monitoring, data-driven health analytics and insights that optimise site operations. By leveraging AI and machine learning algorithms to monitor actual equipment conditions and measure equipment health, Vertiv offers a comprehensive solution for optimal equipment performance and longevity.

In its test labs, Vertiv engineers subjected Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 to extensive Engineering Validation Tests (EVT) and Design Validation Tests (DVT) against a wide spectrum of operational conditions to confirm its performance and reliability in real-world scenarios. It also passed additional environmental, performance and corner case tests – including debris protection, structural tests of seismic integrity and durability, and voltage surge and sag tests – that simulated extreme conditions the system may encounter.
