Electrical Power & Protection

November 2011 Electrical Power & Protection

APC by Schneider Electric’s Symmetra PX is a redundant, scalable, power protection system designed to provide high levels of availability. The Symmetra PX is a modular system made up of dedicated power, intelligence, battery and bypass functions, engineered into a design that is scalable to cope with demand growth as higher levels of availability are required.

The Symmetra PX serves as the core power train that drives APC InfraStruXure systems for small and medium data centres, but can also power individual zones of larger data centres. Highly manageable, the Symmetra PX features self-diagnostic capabilities and standardised modules for increased overall data centre reliability.
