According to the Uptime Institute's 2019-2022 analytics, the leading cause of failures and downtime in data centers by a wide margin is power problems. Interruptions can occur for various reasons, the most important thing in such situations is to ensure the safety of critical data and equipment.

The solution to this problem can be 3-phase modular UPS S3 AP M-II 60-600KVA from C3 Solutions. The devices are designed to improve fault tolerance and reliable redundancy of uninterruptible power systems in the data center.

UPSs with dual conversion, modular architecture, high fault tolerance and scalability are designed to protect loads in the 60-600 kW range. The solutions ensure the continuous operation and security of all critical data and business processes in the enterprise and in the organization.

Features:

• Power modules 60kVA/60kW, 3U high.
• Supports internal N + 1 or N + X protection for high fault tolerance.
• Modular design with hot-swap power modules, STS module reduces MTTR.
• The built-in switch of the service bypass with protection against switching on provides non-disruptive service.
• Adjustable charging current 15A to the power module, up to 240A in the 1,2MVA configuration.

2023: Market Entry

On July 12, 2023, S3 Solutions announced the start of deliveries of uninterruptible power supply models under its own brand to the Russian market. An additional guarantor of the devices will be a free vendor service under the Advanced Replacement model.

Devices for industrial enterprises, commercial and government organizations have become a logical addition to the modular architecture already available in the portfolio of S3 Solutions UPS, focused on protecting server equipment in the data center.

One of the presented lines is designed to ensure the operation of production complexes, workshops, machine tools and other industrial equipment. These are powerful power supplies to protect against power outages in industrial facilities. The main task of the UPS is to ensure the continuity of production processes and prevent the failure of expensive equipment. The benefit for enterprises will be savings on downtime and repair of the technopark during unscheduled power outages.

Unlike data center UPSs, these devices can be used in facilities with the most stringent operating conditions. They do not require a special room with a low level of dust and humidity for their placement. A feature of industrial UPSs is their increased reliability. The design of the internal assemblies and the material of the housing (graphene) ensure the removal of heat even in the event of a failure of the cooling fans. The power of the devices is 10-120kVA. Safe operation of the equipment is provided by an insulating transformer, which serves as additional protection for personnel during system maintenance.

Another line of UPS is aimed at a wide range of customers − representatives of both the commercial and public sectors of the economy. It is used to maintain uninterrupted operation of IT equipment in server rooms and workplaces at the time of a power outage. The devices make it possible to organize both a centralized protection scheme with the separation of household and computer networks, and a distributed scheme with the installation of UPS at each workplace.

As part of the manufacturer's standard warranty, the vendor provides Advanced Replacement service for the online rack UPS segment with a capacity of 1 to 10 kVA. The service will protect and ensure the operability of the consumer's device during the repair of a failed UPS: during the repair work, C3 Solutions will provide customers with a replacement device.

Until recently, about 80% of the Russian industrial UPS market was occupied by solutions from foreign vendors, − said Andrey Shtonda, Director of the Product Development Department, C3 Solutions. − Everything Western has gone, and the request for a high level of product and service quality has remained. As a result, many enterprises were at risk. The fleet of equipment requires timely replacement of supporting devices, but at the same time their supply can be delayed up to six months. This threatens to stop production and business processes. In case of violation of UPS service life, this is a potential point of equipment failure. These lines from C3 Solutions will help many customers solve this problem.
