Power resilience is a term any location operating a significant amount of equipment needs to be familiar with. Yet, it is quite common for faults or limitations to remain in place. In some situations, parallel UPS systems and paralleling switchgear can help to create the power protection your organization requires.

What are Parallel UPS Systems?

In a parallel redundant UPS system, there are two or more modules placed in the same system. This is often called an N and X setup where the N represents the power capacity that is necessary for the connected loans and the x represents the number of modules. Simply, it provides backup. If one of these modules fails in the configuration, there is support for other solutions.

The benefit here is extra capacity within each of the units. In addition to this, these systems are far less likely to fail than other configurations. And, with the inclusion of power distribution units, there is even more enhanced protection. These units, which are referred to as PDUs, help to distribute power evenly and effectively throughout the entire system. This ensures there are proper management and distribution of power to keep the system operational.

Not Seeing This?

If your organization’s system does not have this, it could be time to upgrade. UPS systems and paralleling switchgear can minimize downtime significantly.
