Riello Multi Guard Modular UPS

The Riello Multi Guard modular UPS is a scalable, three phase double-conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply. The Riello Multi Guard modular UPS power capacity ranges from 15kVA to 120kVA, delivering an excellent combination of reliability, functionality and hot-swap flexibility.

The Multi Guard N+X parallel configuration is based on an intelligent modular design; providing maximum availability, redundancy and protection for mission critical loads across a variety of applications, including Networks and Data Centres.

The capacity of each individual module is 15kVA, and a standard cabinet can be fitted with up to 8 modules supporting a total 120kVA. If the load is within limits, the individual modules can be hot-swapped; enabling continuous, uninterrupted power.

Advanced Modular Design

The Riello Multi Guard 15-120 system contains UPS modules, LCD Display module, PDU and other accessories. Each Riello Multi Guard 15-120 UPS power module is a fully functional 15kVA UPS. Load sharing technology enables the power modules to support N+1 system resilience.

The Riello Multi Guard 15-120 deploys a user-friendly ‘plug and play’ modular design making it easy to expand, service and maintain the UPS.

Reliable N+X Parallel Redundancy UPS

The N+X parallel redundancy greatly increase the reliability of the Riello Multi Guard 15-120 UPS system. The Multi Guard 15-120 de-centralises the controller into each UPS module, increasing the redundancy of the unit.

High MTBF ability – Low MTTR

Each power module in the Multi Guard 15-120 system is a fully functional self-contained UPS unit, there is no additional control module for parallel configurations or load sharing. The system MTBF for two modules in parallel is more than 1,000,000 hours, with power availability more than 99.999%.

With the UPS in N+1 configuration, the system will continue to operate even if one of the individual power modules fails. The hot-swappable design of the Riello Multi Guard 15-120 means that module replacement can typically take less than 5 minutes.
