For high-consumption industries, such as transportation, IT, government/public, and financial service sectors, continuous and efficient power supply is very important. The growth of the data center of these industries motivated the need for a better UPS configuration. 

Distributed UPS and Centralized UPS configuration 

In order to ensure high reliability of power supply, owner change from decentralized (also known as distributed) UPS configuration to central UPS (uninterruptible power supply) configuration. Centralized UPSs are akin to a giant power protection net that encompasses an organization’s entire network. However, 1+1 and N+1 redundancy are often used to avoid single-point-of-failure (SPOF), which creates a greater cost of purchasing, installation, and maintenance. In addition to costs created by the increased demand for data center cooling. centralized UPS tends to have a substantially higher price tag than their lighter, distributed counterparts.

Hybrid Solutions: Modular UPSs

With modular UPSs, organizations can boost backup system redundancy by simply plugging in additional power modules as needed, thereby garnering the efficiency of a centralized backup system and the incremental growth of a distributed system. With Compact size，high efficiency and easy expansion according to power requirements. Modular UPS systems are growing fast in the three-phase market.

Kstar HPM3300E Modular UPS

For example, Kstar HPM3300E series modular UPS can support 10/15/20/25/30 kVA (2U) power modules. The power module, bypass module, and monitoring module are hot-swappable. It’s good for expanding capacity and repair. What’s more, it supports parallel expanded operation: the maximum is 6 units, which creates a stronger backup architecture for many mission-critical operations in data centers. With a high input factor of 0.99 and high output factor 1, ECO function and sleeping mode, it’s energy-saving and it’s your best choice for modular UPS.
