Vertiv Unveils Energy-Efficient Liebert APM2 UPS for Indian Markets

Vertiv, a company specializing in critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has recently introduced the Vertiv Liebert APM2, a new energy-efficient and scalable power solution, to its uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems portfolio. This innovative system is compatible with both lithium-ion (Li-ion) and VRLA batteries, and can easily scale from 30kW to 600kW in a single unit. It offers significant energy savings as compared to less efficient alternatives and can also parallel with up to four matching units for additional capacity or redundancy. The Liebert APM2 is a CE-certified UPS system that is available in 400V across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia, including India and China.

To satisfy the increasing power needs of edge computing applications, as well as the constrained space typical of these sites, Liebert APM2 delivers a greater power output in a smaller footprint than similar capacity solutions, with Liebert APM2 models requiring up to 45% less space than the predecessor UPS, Vertiv Liebert APM. The Liebert APM2 can be installed in-row, in-room, against-the-wall, or back-to-back for further application flexibility.

“Vertiv created the Liebert APM2 in response to the need for a compact and efficient product that delivers dependable power quality and availability to the network edge,” said Kyle Keeper, senior vice president of global AC power at Vertiv. “The UPS is Vertiv’s cutting-edge solution for handling increasing power infrastructure needs without the need for a complete system overhaul.”

“At Vertiv, we understand the importance of providing efficient and reliable power infrastructure in an increasingly tech-savvy world. We are excited to launch the Vertiv Liebert APM2 modular hot-swappable uninterruptible power supply system in India, addressing the pressing need for efficient and scalable power solutions. With the explosive growth of edge computing applications and the challenges posed by limited space, the Liebert APM2 emerges as a game-changer”, said Mr. Vikas Srivastava, Director, of Medium/Large AC Power Offering (India). “Ensuring we meet our customers’ ever-evolving infrastructure requirements has always been a priority for us, and with this new UPS system, we continue to stay committed to delivering solutions that meet the demands of today’s digital landscape.”

The Liebert APM2 operates with high energy efficiency in all modes, up to 97.5% in double-conversion mode; and up to 98.8% efficiency when operating in Dynamic online mode, which draws power through the bypass line and uses the inverter for balanced output and an active filter; and up to 99% when operating in ECO mode, which takes advantage of stable grid input conditions to leverage the bypass line. All modes are automated based on user preferences. The intelligent paralleling feature of the Liebert APM2 facilitates load sharing among multiple power modules, even across multiple units. This enables balanced unit runtime and offers automatic failover for enhanced system availability. Intelligent paralleling has also been shown to contribute to energy efficiency.

The Liebert APM2's modular design enables effortless access to replaceable components from the front, incorporating hot-swappable building blocks that enhance the mean time to repair (MTTR) to under 30 minutes. Additionally, the Vertiv Life Services program offers the option for remote monitoring and diagnosis of equipment health, complete with detailed reporting to monitor UPS performance
