Vertiv unveils latest UPS for large data centres and other critical applications

Vertiv has introduced the Vertiv PowerUPS 9000, an energy-efficient, high-power supply (UPS) system with a compact footprint.

The system is engineered to support IT applications from traditional computing to high density applications.

It is available globally in UL and CE models from 250 to 1250kW per unit.

Vertiv PowerUPS 9000

The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 is designed for high-power density, as well as a high double-conversion efficiency of up to 97.5%.

The system enables fast and easy installation with top or bottom cable entry, as well as back feed protection and ground fault kit options that are embedded in the system without need for extra space or on-site installation.

The units are deployable anywhere in the world which reduces potential procurement and service inconsistencies, preventing delays and downtime. 

“Maximise reliability and efficiency”

Giovanni Zanei, Vice President, Vertiv commented: “The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 UPS is engineered to maximise reliability and efficiency and to minimise footprint and complexity.

“With its modular structure and high-power density, it will deliver energy-efficient, reliable power protection that data centre customers are looking for to protect both traditional and mixed AI applications,” added Zanei.

Features of PowerUPS 9000

The Vertiv PowerUPS 9000 has:

• A physical footprint 32% smaller than previous generations
• Compatible with Vertiv EnergyCore lithium battery cabinet and other battery technologies, including Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) and Nickel-Zinc
• Dedicated, segregated controls and dual, hot-swappable communication and control boards allow each power module to operate independently
• In the event of a fault, the affected module can isolate itself enabling continued operation
• The continuous-duty solid state static bypass switch optimises the bypass line
• The system is fully hot-service and hot-swappable, meaning maintenance and upgrades can occur without downtime
• Can be enabled with Vertiv Next Predict, a preventative maintenance strategy with advanced monitoring, data-driven health analytics and insights that optimises site operations
• Leverages AI and machine learning algorithms to monitor actual equipment conditions and measure equipment health
• Offers a comprehensive solution for optimal equipment performance and longevity

Test results

In Vertiv’s 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 passed additional environmental, performance and corner case tests, including:

• Debris protection
• Structural tests of seismic integrity
• Durability and voltage surge
• Sag tests (that simulated extreme conditions the system may encounter)
