ABB presents its new MegaFlex solution offering the most resilient and compact uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system
on the market with a reduced footprint of up to 45 percent.
With enterprise demand driving more SaaS (Software as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) applications, data
center continuity has never been more critical.
As a market leader in UPS technology, the MegaFlex range from ABB is targeting the IEC and UL market, with power
ranges of up to 1.5 and 1.6 MW respectively.
Presented to coincide with Data Centre World in London, the MegaFlex solution delivers excellent availability and
reliability, with the most compact footprint on the market, up to 45 percent smaller for the IEC version compared to
competitor models of equal power rating. Despite its small footprint, the UPS also delivers impressive sustainable power
technology with reduced energy losses due to high efficiency converters of up to 97.4 percent, adaptable to variable IT load.
This supports ABB Electrification’s Mission to Zero for smart cities, a vision for a zero-emission reality for all, and
reinforces its commitment to offer safe, smart and sustainable power technologies to the global data center industry.
Ciaran Flanagan, Global Head of ABB’s Data Center Business said: “As larger data centers push power requirements ever
higher, demand for scalable and redundant power solutions continues to grow. The vast amount of energy consumed by
these data centers means that every percentage point improvement in efficiency brings with it cost savings. More importantly
it also supports our sustainability commitments.
“MegaFlex DPA has been created in response to increasing power demands and cleverly combines the highest efficiency
ratings with the smallest footprint. We are excited to showcase this pioneering new product together with our broader
portfolio of electrification and digital solutions for efficient and reliable data center operations.â€
Other key features of the MegaFlex UPS solution from ABB include:
Standardized power distribution architectures in compliance with the Uptime Institute classification system and EN 50600
High-efficiency converters in VFI (Voltage Frequency Independent) mode with up 97.4 percent efficiency, driving up cost
savings and improving energy consumption
Portability- server rack can be moved into position simply and safely with an onsite pallet truck
Compatible with either lithium-ion or VRLA (valve-regulated lead-acid battery) for external storage
Optional redundant power capacity of 1,000 kW N+1 and 1250 kW N+1
The graphical system display allows the operator to display measurements, events and alarm
Connectivity for optional communication boards including SNMP, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RS-485
Provides up to 6 MW and satisfies the “six-nines†requirement for today’s most demanding data centers.
MegaFlex DPA is designed to work in synergy with ABB’s power infrastructure products to provide a continuous flow of
clean power to a data center and deliver the system-wide resiliency needed for modern data storage solutions that implement
distributed, cloud or hybrid approaches.
Serviceability is made easier and more accessible with its modular platform. Enhanced self-diagnostics improve speed to
market, reduce downtime and importantly mitigate risk from human error during start-up and maintenance phases. An
intelligent predictive maintenance program allows greater planning and reduces service schedules throughout the product life
cycle.
Importantly, ABB has designed and delivered the MegaFlex DPA to deliver total peace of mind for customers with the
assurance that their power is guaranteed by the very best power protection technology on the market.
