Power Modular Concept PMC 200 – guaranteed to stay on the safe side
The efficient Power Modular Concept PMC is the scalable UPS concept from Rittal for a protected power supply. Its
modularity, coupled with the Decentralised Parallel Architecture (DPA), ensure a high degree of availability for
critical applications and requirement-based investments. The adaptive Rittal UPS concept accommodates versatile data centre requirements and is easily expanded with additional, safe-swappable UPS modules. High initial investments for first-time installation are avoided, thanks to the modular design concept, since UPS capacities may be upgraded at any time as and when required. The adaptive concept allows you to invest as your requirements grow.
This modular rack-mounted concept keeps the purchasing and operating costs of redundant solutions low. As your performance requirements grow, the UPS grows with you, thanks to its flexible scalability ‐ even in the most confined spaces, and with the system operational. Your benefits: Less capital tie-up, inexpensive expansion, and minimal space requirements. The high efficiency of the UPS of 95%, and in the partial load range, ensures that operating costs in the data centre are kept to a minimum.
- Key benefits:
• "N+1" technology in a single rack
• True rack-mounted modularity
• Service-friendly, thanks to the modular layout,
short MTTR
• High level of efficiency
• 8 – 40 kW modules
• 200 kW per rack
• Classification VFI-SS-111
- The new UPS generation: Rittal PMC 200
Your individual UPS based on standard modules
Rack plus UPS modules plus battery packs produce a customised UPS to suit your current requirements. Output density up to 200 kW (160 kW redundant) in one rack. Could you need more in future? No problem: The system supports modular expansion of performance
and autonomy whilst operational!
We will be happy to work with you
to configure the exact solution best-suited to your individual requirements.- N+1 = Perfect redundancy in a rack
Three examples of a 40 kW UPS with redundancy: All modules operate in parallel mode. In all cases, one module may fail without impairing the connected load.
Example 1: 1 + 1 (40 kW + 40 kW)
Advantage: Just two UPS modules, minimal space requirements.
Disadvantage: 100 % of the required output must be provided as redundancy.
Example 2: 2 + 1 (2 x 20 kW + 20 kW)
Advantage: Compact and energy-efficient.
Example 3: 4 + 1 (4 x 12 kW + 12 kW)
an additional battery rack is needed for batteries.
Advantage: Only 12 kW needs to be buffered for redundancy.
Vorteile durch minimierte Baugröße und Modulbauweise.- Extremely small installation space
Maximum performance density in one free-standing enclosure!
In examples 1 and 2 we compare the space requirements of two non-modular systems for 120 kW output plus redundancy with the modular UPS system Rittal PMC 200 (example 3), which is configured according to the 4 + 1 concept with five
32 kW modules. The minimised construction size of the Rittal PMC 200 concept allows three modules plus battery packs or five modules each with up to 40 kW in one Rittal 482.6 mm (19") TS 8 UPS enclosure.
PMC 200 is an excellent solution
with regard to energy and space requirements and also with a view to future expansion.- Maximum energy efficiency
Minimal energy requirement means low costs and minimal pollution:
With the PMC 200 concept, you not only protect the critical load, but also safeguard the operating ratio of the UPS. Let us advise you to find the most suitable concept.
Example 1: This 120 kVA + 120 kW solution requires the most output for redundancy.
Example 2: This variant with three 40 kVA modules only requires 1/3 of the output compared with example 1 for redundancy purposes.
Example 3: With five 32 kW modules only 1/4 is required for the buffer output of redundancy, compared with a single redundant 120 kW UPS.
- Flexible scalability
Simple expansion while operational
Output may be expanded from two to three, four or five UPS modules via "safe swap" with the system operational, without having to switch the machine to bypass mode. For four modules or more, an additional battery rack will be needed. The autonomy may
also be flexibly modified to suit your requirements. The Rittal PMC 200 modular system combines flexible adaptation to customer-specific requirements with investment reliability and a high level of availability.
- Super-fast service
Extremely short MTTR (Mean Time to Repair)
If servicing is required, a 12 kW or 20 kW module may be replaced with a 20 kW module, and a 32 kW or 40 kW module with a 40 kW module. This simplifies the logistics and ensures fast, flexible, cost-effective servicing.
