Riello UPS Expands Multi Power2 Modular Series

Author: Simon Rowley

Critical power protection specialist, Riello UPS, has announced an extension to its ultra-high efficiency modular range Multi Power2.

The uninterruptible power supply manufacturer adds to its existing 500 kW MP2 UPS with a 300 kW version, along with a trio of 600 kW cabinets. The expansion increases the flexibility of the range, which is aimed at small to medium-sized data centres and other similarly mission critical applications.

The additional units deliver all the series’ key benefits, including ultra-high efficiency of 98.1% in online double conversion mode, risk-free ‘pay as you grow’ scalability, a robust design that eliminates any single point of failure, and hot-swappable 3U 67 kW power modules that ensure downtime-free maintenance.

Multi Power2 incorporates advanced silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors that significantly reduce energy losses and heat generation, delivering data centre operators robust and reliable performance whilst lowering their operating costs, cooling requirements, and carbon emissions.

The extended MP2 range now incorporates:

• MP2 300 – up to five power modules for a maximum of 300 kW, features bottom cable entry and an integrated manual bypass switch;
• MP2 500 – up to eight power modules for a maximum of 500 kW, features top cable entry, an integrated manual bypass switch, and air filters as standard;
• MP2 600 – up to nine power modules for a maximum of 600 kW, available with or without switches and a choice of front-to-back or front-to-top ventilation.

Up to four UPS can be installed in parallel, meaning the MP2 can protect up to 2,400 kW in a single system.

As well as the expanded MP2, the complete Multi Power2 range also incorporates the popular Multi Power2 Scalable (M2S) innovation (which comes in 1,000 kW, 1,250 kW and 1,600 kW versions), and is designed with the needs of modern data centres in mind, as it can handle the rapid load fluctuations typically associated with AI load profiles. By connecting four M2S UPS in parallel, it can protect up to 6,400 kW.

Leo Craig, Managing Director of Riello UPS, comments, “With this exciting expansion of the Multi Power range, we are addressing the data centre industry’s growing focus on energy saving practices for a more sustainable future.

“By combining market-leading efficiency of 98.1% and flexibility in terms of power ratings and cabinets with a reduced carbon footprint and total cost of ownership, we are delivering data centres proven results without compromising on power continuity or performance.”
