Today’s data centers require continuous uptime. That target is to be ever switched off – making routine maintenance safe and
why ABB’s Conceptpower DPA 240 is based on Decentralized easy. Conceptpower DPA 240 is designed to secure continuity
Parallel Architecture (DPA). Only a truly redundant architecture of critical operations for small to mid-sized data centers, server
like DPA allows online modules to be swapped out while the rooms and other IT applications. It also protects industrial
system is running. Each high-reliability, standardized module is automation processes, healthcare facilities and many other
self-contained and can be swapped at any time, so nothing has vertical markets where operations are of a critical nature.

Total vertical and horizontal scalability
The Conceptpower DPA 240 delivers power protection from
40kW to 1.2MW at 415V (one to six modules) in a single
cabinet frame. Horizontal scalability is also given, with up to
five frames in parallel, to increase total power up to 1.2MW.
This scalability means that there is no need to over-specify
the original configuration as power modules can simply be
added, as needed, in the future.

Designed with maximum flexibility

and redundancy at its core for the
6x5x40kW =1.2MW
standardization of power protection.
In a data center, power distribution systems have historically
been oversized to meet the redundancy requirements. The
Conceptpower DPA 240 UPS system is designed for datacenters
1.2MW
and other high availability applications that require redundant
configurations (for example N+1, 2 (N+1), etc.). Adding
redundancy for increased availability comes easy with the
advanced scalability within the Conceptpower DPA UPS family.
These systems complement and complete the datacenter power
distribution system for ABB, providing customers with a
centralized power protection solution.

True parallel architecture

This advanced UPS design provides the highest degree of
protection in critical applications where the load must be fed
with quality power. These Conceptpower DPA systems utilize
decentralized parallel architecture and ensures the highest level
of reliability and availability with true redundancy across
modules.

Each module operates independently, containing all hardware

and software required for full system operation, creating
complete redundancy within the unit. Each UPS module has its
own independent static bypass, rectifier, inverter, logic control,
control panel and battery charger. With all the critical
components duplicated and distributed between individual
units, potential single points of failure are eliminated. Cabinet type DPA 240 frame

Protecting power has never been easier

True, online-swap modularity enables the safer removal and/or

insertion of Conceptpower DPA modules without risk to the
critical load and without the need to power down or transfer
to raw mains supply. This unique feature directly addresses
today’s requirement for continuous uptime. The ability to online-
swap modules in a Conceptpower DPA system significantly
reduces its mean time to repair (MTTR) and simplifies system
upgrades. The modular approach pays off too when it comes
to serviceability and availability – online-swapping of modules
means you don’t have to switch off or switch to bypass during
replacements, so there is no downtime in a redundant
configuration.

Installation and service is easy too: The straightforward

concept of the Conceptpower DPA simplifies every step of the
deployment process, from planning, through installation and
commissioning to full use. Flexible set-up and fast maintenance
means lower operating and maintenance costs. The UPS is
serviceable by front access only.
