10.1 CONCEPTPOWER DPA SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
In environments that demand zero downtime, continuous power protection availability is essential. In order to
respond to today’s dynamic IT and process-related environments that experience daily change through new server
technologies, migration and centralization, resilient and easily adaptable power protection concepts are required.
CONCEPTPOWER DPA is the foundation for continuous power protection availability of network-critical
infrastructures in enterprise data centers where business continuity has paramount importance and in process
control environment where manufacturing continuity is essential.
CONCEPTPOWER DPA’S is a second generation high-power-density (HPD), leading-edge double-conversion
power protection technology that has standardized on a modular component approach which helps speed
deployment, improve adaptability and increase system availability while reducing total cost of ownership.
CONCEPTPOWER DPA’S is a unique on-demand architecture that integrates the power rack, power distribution
unit, back-up battery rack and monitoring and management solutions to allow easy selection of optimized
configurations.
CONCEPTPOWER DPA’S (Distributed Parallel Architecture) provides highest availability, unmatched flexibility and
at the same time lowest cost of ownership in IT environments.
This Technical Specification provides detailed technical information on the mechanical, electrical and
environmental performance of the CONCEPTPOWER DPA that can support to give answers to tender and end-
user requirements. The CONCEPTPOWER DPA was designed to respond to the most stringent safety, EMC and
other important UPS standards.
CONCEPTPOWER DPA is a rack-mountable modular design. It offers 3-types of Racks (Frames) and 3 types of
DPA-Modules to accommodate a wide range of power requirements.
The three MX-Frames; Classic DPA-50, Triple DPA-150, Upgrade DPA-250 can accommodate the three (3) MX-
DPA-Modules types DPA 30 or 40 or 50 of: 30kVA/24kW - 40kVA/32kW - 50kVA/40kW power.
