A new uninterruptible power supply (UPS) has been released to meet the increasing power requirements of edge computing and medium-scale applications.

Vertiv, a company specializing in core digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, announced on the 13th that it is adding the energy-efficient and scalable Vertiv™ Liebert® APM2 solution to its portfolio of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

The Liebert® APM2 is compatible with lithium-ion and VRLA batteries and features a compact design that can be scaled from 30kW to 600kW with a single unit.

The new product offers significant energy savings compared to other less efficient solutions, and up to four units can be connected in parallel to increase capacity or implement redundancy.

The Liebert APM2 is a CE-certified UPS system available at 400V in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as in Europe, the Middle East/Africa, and South America.

To meet the increasing power requirements and spatial constraints of edge computing applications, the Liebert APM2 provides higher power output in a smaller footprint than other solutions of similar capacity.

The Liebert APM2 takes up 45% less space than the previous generation UPS model, the Vertiv™ Liebert® APM. Occupies.

Liebert APM2 can be placed in-row, in-room, against the wall, or back-to-back to further increase application flexibility.

Kyle Keeper, Senior Vice President of Global AC Power at Vertiv, said, “The Liebert APM2 was developed to meet customer demand for a compact and efficient product that provides reliable power quality and availability at the network edge. This UPS is Vertiv’s latest solution that can meet the increasingly high demands on power infrastructure without the need for a complete system overhaul.”

The Liebert® APM2 operates with excellent energy efficiency in all modes. It achieves up to 97.5% efficiency in Dual Conversion mode and up to 98.8% efficiency in Dynamic Online mode (Dynamic Online mode draws power through a bypass line, provides a balanced output using an inverter, and utilizes the inverter as an active filter), and up to 99% efficiency when operating in ECO mode (this mode leverages stable grid input conditions to utilize the bypass line). All modes are automatically executed based on user preference. Through intelligent parallelization capabilities, the Liebert APM2 can easily share loads among multiple power modules and across multiple units. This ensures balanced unit runtimes and enhances system availability through automatic failover. Intelligent parallelization features are also known to contribute to energy efficiency.

The modular architecture of the Liebert APM2 enables easy front-facing component replacement and hot-swapping of building blocks, allowing the mean time to repair (MTTR) to be reduced to under 30 minutes. Additionally, the optional Vertiv™ Life™ Services program allows for remote monitoring and diagnosis of equipment status, as well as the provision of reports tracking UPS performance.

Arunangshu Chattopadhyay, Director of AC Power and Power Distribution Units at Vertiv Asia, stated, “With the explosive growth of data-centric technologies and digital services, enterprises in the Asia-Pacific region want to be able to agilely adjust their core infrastructure to meet the demands of their customers. The Liebert APM2 is designed to support the expansion of IT systems and provides a high-density power solution that is easy to scale according to demand, enhancing operational efficiency and availability as well as deployment flexibility in limited spaces.”
