The APC Symmetra TM Power Array is a scalable, redundant power protection sys- tem for multiple servers and business critical applications. This is an introduction to the Symmetra TM Power Array.
Thank Y ou! Thank y ou for in vesting in the S ymmet ra TM P ow er A rray . Please read this User's Manual thoroughly prior to installing the sys- tem. It provides important information about installing and using the Symmetra TM safely and effe ctivel y .
ii Power Pr ocessing System The power processing system delivers conditioned AC output power with a low disto rtion sinewav e . U nder normal operat- ing conditions, power is received from the AC utility power source, conditioned by the power processing system, and de- livered to the load equipment.
iii Modes of Operation The P ower Array functions in one of four modes of operation, depending on user commands, the status of the AC utility voltage, and the condition of the Symmetra TM itself. The four modes are Load-Disconnect, On-Line, On-Battery , and By - pass.
On-Battery Operating Mode Whe n in the on-battery mode, the P ower Array dra ws DC power from the battery source, converts it to conditioned AC power that is then delivered to the load equipment. Symmetra TM typically enters this mode in the event of a utility power failure.
Definitions The following definitions are used in this manual and will be helpful in understanding Symmetra TM . Redundancy - Indicates the presence of one or more extra modules, allowing the system to sustain a fault and continue to pr ov ide full prot ection t o the load.
