As we progress into the new millennium, headlines in the media continually point out how the growing Internet economy is increasinglydependent upon reliable energy – not only in sources, but also in delivery. Arecent summer in California’s Silicon Valley, where many companies lost millions of dollars in online revenue and production expense due to black-outs, brought even more attention to this growing problem. As businessesbecome increasingly reliant on electronics, they become more susceptibleto the problems that exist in the production, generation and transmissionof electricity.
Today, reliability is everything. If you or your customers are not able toaccess mission-critical applications due to power problems, you lose bothrevenue and credibility. The simple truth of a fast-paced, global economy isthat if you are not available, you lose customers to the competition.
APC meets the availability needs of the Information Age. Our companycontinually adds new, innovative products and services so that your
connected equipment stays up and running. Recent acquisitionsallow us to meet your precision air conditioning, DC power and
connectivity needs as well. APC has the size and expertise toprovide reliable solutions from the surge suppressor forhome electronics to megawatts of uninterruptible power foran entire facility. We ensure Legendary Reliability™ whereverdata is created, transmitted or stored.
I invite you to study this catalog in detail. You’ll be sure to findthe APC product or service that meets your requirement and,
inevitably, find solutions to meet additional needs as well. AtAPC, we are committed to creating delighted customers, and we
look forward to helping you.

Utility voltage Utility current
Utility input Load output
How Do You Want Your Sine Wave to Look?
The secret of the Delta Conversion On-line technology lies in the ability of its two inverters towork together as a team. The main inverter keeps synchronized with the utility's power andprecisely controls the output voltage to the customer's infrastructure. The delta inverter is acurrent controller that processes only the power difference (the delta) between an unregulat-ed input voltage and a regulated output voltage. This is accomplished by using a power feed-back loop.

Why is 48V DC used in the telecom industry?
In contrast to the IT industry where loads predominantlyrun on AC and where loss of input power is handled byinstalling AC UPSs (Figure 1), the telecommunicationsindustry evolved an infrastructure using a 48V DC bus(Figure 2) and lead acid batteries to power up the tele-phones irrespective of the AC utility’s condition.
Modern DC systems used by the telecommunicationsindustry, are powered from the AC utility and convert-ed to 48V DC using a switched mode power supply,commonly referred to as a ‘rectifier’.
APC employs a number of Telecom grade rectifiers intheir power plant, specifically designed to convert ACutility inputs to a stable, regulated 48V dc with capaci-ties of 1.75A through to 50A.The latest rectifier in thisrange is the MRF17, whichprovides 25A per moduleand is designed for paralleloperation, and hence allow-ing systems up to 600A to beconfigured.

AFX S E R I E S 50 & 60 H ZThe culmination of 40 years of experience in the field of precisionair conditioning
A dedicated dehumidification cycle enables dehu-midification without overcooling, reducing theneed for electric reheat and increasing energyefficiency of the unit. Pure steam humidificationis utilized for ease of maintenance and increasedefficiency. Other humidification systems can becostly, labor intensive to maintain, and damagingto indoor air quality.
The AFX Series is available in multiple configura-tions within an extremely small cabinet size, con-serving valuable floor space.
The AFX Series employs scroll compressortechnology which have fewer moving parts thanreciprocating compressors, making them lessprone to failure. When scroll compressors areused with a hot gas bypass option, precisecapacity control can be achieved, without staging.
High Sensible Heat Ratio (SHR) ensures lowerenergy consumption by eliminating excessivedehumidification and the need for subsequenthumidifying and re-heating.

The Symmetra® MW redefines high power
UPS technology by being the first fault-
tolerant, modular UPS ranging from 400kW
to 1.6MW. Symmetra MW also includes
paralleling features to handle even larger
load requirements.
Adapt and Expand UPS Power
Symmetra® MW is designed with load-shar-
ing modules for easy system expansion and
configuration. For increased system avail-
ability, power modules can be added in
steps of 200kW. A unique slide-in module
concept makes upgrades easy.
Availability
The modular design of the Symmetra® MW
offers N+1 fault-tolerance and incorporates
power-sharing technology. Should a module
fail, the remaining modules will ensure
uninterrupted load support. The swappable
modules also reduce the mean time to
repair dramatically, ensuring full capacity in
the shortest possible time.
Manageability
Manage your UPS, power accessory and
ancillary gear-related network from your
data center or remote locations with
Symmetra® MW accessories and power
management software. The entire sys-
tem can be managed via an advanced
color touch screen LCD. Use existing
APC software and accessories to monitor
power, control the environment and
reboot individual pieces of equipment.
Serviceability
The Symmetra® MW is self-diagnosing and
provides automatic, early-warning notifica-
tion of any problems. The fault-tolerant
design ensures system availability until serv-
ice can be performed. The modular design
offers easy maintenance and reduces the
risk of human error.
"PickSAT, Inc. is a multimedia broadcast satellite com-pany based in Miami, Florida, providing high speedInternet access, data delivery, and streaming videoand audio. The services we provide impact a verylarge client base. Therefore, we are acutely aware ofthe adverse effects on our clients' businesses shouldour systems happen to go down.
"Availability goals at PickSAT, Inc. are simple: no inter-ruptions in performance for any reason. Our systemsneed to stay up with redundancy at all points. Wechose APC because the patented Delta ConversionOn-line™ technology of the Silcon® UPS met our spec-ification requirements of low harmonic distortion and
a power factor of 1. This enabled us to use an existing500VA Diesel AC Generator to supply a NetworkOperations Center (NOC) which will eventually houseover 180, 19-inch racks.
"We feel very comfortable trusting APC power prod-ucts to protect our systems. APC has saved the dayin many instances in our temporary NOC. Whenpower was lost, APC was there to protect us frompower dropout and non-ideal noise and weather con-ditions. I know that APC products are reliable and thetechnical support is outstanding. In our business,there is no room for downtime, which is preciselywhy we chose APC."
