DPA 500

Commercial Uninterruptible Power Supplies

product catalog

A data center with full uptime is the objective behind ABB’s DPA 500 UPS system.

Built on ABB’s Decentralized Parallel Architecture (DPA), the DPA 500 provides true redundancy by allowing online modules to be exchanged while the system remains in operation.

Each highly reliable, standardized power module is completely self-contained and can be replaced at any time without shutting down the UPS, making routine maintenance both safe and straightforward.

The system can be vertically scaled in 100 kW increments to provide up to 500 kW of power within a single frame. Horizontal scalability is also supported, allowing up to six frames to operate in parallel for a total power capacity of up to 3 MW.
