MGE Office Protection Systems family
Pulsar MX UPS
5 to 20 kVA
High performance UPS scalable from 5 to 20 kVA
Availability
Two front access hot-swappable sub-modules (power and battery) for maintenance without system shutdown
Large input voltage and frequency ranges to avoid using the batteries unnecessarily
Automatic failover for power availability even if the UPS fails
Automatic battery test (test period can be set)
Flexibility
Can be used as a free-standing tower unit or 19" rack-mounted: only 3U for Pulsar MX 5 kVA and 10U/16U for Pulsar MX Frames
Multilingual LCD with mimic and LEDs for rapid view of the UPS status, diagnostics and event log
Outputs: NEMA L6-30R, 30A outlets and terminal block for hardwired installations
Backup time: five minutes up to two hours by adding 3U battery modules
Minimum total cost of ownership (TCO)
More power with an output power factor of 0.9 and compatibility with last generation server power supplies
Pulsar MX Frame is a modular system with 5 kVA units paralleled to provide up to 20 or 15 kVA with redundancy
Pulsar MX . . . pay as you grow!
Seamless migration from 5 kVA to 20 kVA at optimized cost
The Pulsar MX is a truly scalable optimized rack solution that allows you to add power as your business grows. You are able
to easily expand your system from 5 kVA up to 20 kVA, while protecting your initial investment, by simply adding an MX
Frame and/or more submodules.
Also, you can build in the level of redundancy into the system that is required for your
mission-critical application.
Ideal protection for:
• Departmental networks
• Rack cabinets
• Blade servers
• Storage networks
• Telecom—Switches/VoIP
