The main parameters of the UPS, including the battery charge level and faults, are displayed on the LCD screen on the front panel.
The integrated communication software not only controls the UPS and its switch-off if there is a malfunction, and enables the user to test the main
functions remotely, communicate via SNMP/Internet/network adaptor and access the functions of the UPS via the Internet, but can also send the user an
SMS if specific events occur.
The internal extension connector enables a WEB/SNMP card or a relay interface to be installed which provides insulated contacts for applications on
industrial control panels or remote alarm panels.
If there is an electronic fault, overload, overheating or for scheduled maintenance operations, the automatic or manual (optional) bypass ensures
continuity of the power supply for critical loads. A bypass switch is available for maintenance.

HIGH efficiency THE TECHNOLOGY EVOLUTION
Legrand's modular UPS know-how goes back more

HIGH performance than 20 years, when the first ever modular UPS were
introduced in 1993. Since then, continuous firmware

LOW environmental impact development and research on control and hardware


components have led to no stop improvements in system
reliability, quality and technical performance.

Continuous research combined with modern production


methods has led Legrand to offer the market a cutting-
edge, top-performing product: certified efficiency up to
96% and unity power factor.

Combining high density with a structural design that


optimises the space, the new TRIMOD HE and ARCHIMOD

INCREASED POWER
Thanks to their unity power factor the new TRIMOD HE and
ARCHIMOD HE UPS guarantee maximum real power;
11% more than competitor products offering 0,9 power factor,
fully 25% more than those of 0.8 power factor.

The three-phase UPS are made
up of individual single phase
modules which are redundant and
«selfconfiguring», so that power
can be increased quickly
and safely.

Optimisation
of work
The compact and
lightweight power modules
(only 8.5 kg) make the UPS
easy to transport, install
and maintain.

Extending the Backup time


The Backup time can be extended either by
adding battery trays in the same cabinet or
by adding another battery cabinet, depending
on the power of the UPS and the Backup
time required. Non-modular compact battery
cabinets are also available for extending the
Backup time to several hours.

ARCHITECTURE UPS
ARCHIMOD HE: expandable, modular architecture UPS,
power from 20 to 120 kW, in a 19 rack cabinet.

The system comprises a set of standard,


pre-assembled components which simplify
and optimise the design and building of critical
power infrastructures.

The innovative modular design of these UPS


means that the availability of the power can
be optimised, the flexibility of the system increased
and the total cost of ownership (TCO) reduced.

1 Control module
Equipped with a microprocessor, it manages
3 power modules. If it is used with a power expansion
module, it can manage up to 6 power modules, 1
thus increasing the power from 20 to 40 kW.
It has a screen and a multifunction keypad for
monitoring the operating parameters of the UPS
and for configuring numerous functions.
It can be connected in parallel to other control
modules and used with power expansion modules.
The front panel has a backlit status indicator
for immediate checking of the operating status
of the system and an RS 232 port for connecting
a PC for maintenance.

2 Power modules 2
The power modules (nominal power 6.7 kW)
are extremely compact and easy to handle.
They have a plug-in hot swap system, making
them quick to install and maintain. They work in
parallel with all modules that are present to ensure
optimum system performance.

and can be used to establish individual
redundancy on each phase.

4 Battery modules
Each module contains batteries that can be
connected in series, forming separate strings each
with a very low safe DC voltage. The compactness
and functionality of the single (plug-in) module
make it easy to handle, and expansion operations
are possible without any modification of the
structure of the installed system.

5 Distribution module
This is used to configure the distribution type
of the UPS (three-phase/three-phase,
three-phase/single phase, single phase/single
phase or single phase/three-phase). It has I/O
connection blocks, handling and protection
devices, and the connection for additional battery
cabinets. The power supply can be configured on
two separate input sources (main and Backup). 5

Legrand high-speed solution


MTP system
High-speed With data centers, increased bandwidth has become
a priority requirement. The IEEE has therefore
solution introduced the 802.3ba standard for internet
connections at 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps and beyond.
To answer this need Legrand has introduced the MTP
(Multiple-Fibre Push-On/Pull-Off compatible MPO)
fibre solution to the catalogue. It guarantees speed,
resistance, high performance and high density.

MTP is a registered trademark of US Conec Ltd


40/100 Gigabit With the need to support multiple transmission paths, the MPO-style
connector is the connector identified by the IEEE 802.3 ba standard

Ethernet for 40G & 100G transmission (when not using WDM). The terms “MPO”
and “MTP” are used interchangeably for this style of connector
connectivity (MPO = generic name). MTP is an MPO-style connector and is considered
to be a better performing connector with lower insertion loss.
and cable Based on the aforementioned standards, all 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet
options over multimode fibre use parallel transmission, requiring more
than two fibres per channel.

MTP connector feature:


• a high-speed connection with 12 fibres (optionally with 24 fibres)
• precise and safe connection
• optimised cable management
• high-density fibres
• scalable system for future upgrades
• simple maintenance operations
• ease of extraction. No complex installation on site - plug and play
• the MTP is a 12-core connector. 1 cable = 1 connector

Common Data Center Approaches


Multimode fibre systems have been the most cost
effective fibre solution to use in the data center
because the transceivers are much less expensive
than single-mode transceivers. Multimode
transceivers use a vertical cavity surface emitting
laser (VCSEL) light source, which is easy to
manufacture and package. Multimode fibre systems
have a shorter reach than single-mode systems,
however most distances are less than 150 meters;
surveys have shown that more than 80% of data
centers links are equal to or less than 100 meters.
Although single-mode cable is less expensive,
factoring in the total system cost of multimode versus
single-mode, multimode is still less expensive.

What’s coming
IEEE has a number of ongoing projects for both copper and fibre optic applications.
The wideband multimode fibre optic (WMMF) TIA & 11801-1 standards were approved for publication in the
middle of 2016. ISO/IEC 11801-1 assigned the OM5 designation for this type of fibre. The standard specifies
high bandwidth 50 microns core diameter/125 microns cladding diameter, laser-optimised optical fibre that
is optimised to enhance performance for single wavelength or multiwavelength transmission systems with
wavelengths in the vicinity of 850 nm to 950 nm.

to 7 m over shielded balanced copper (Twinax). With the release
of OM4 (a 50-micron laser-optimised multimode fibre (LOMF)
with higher bandwidth than OM3) the distance can be extended
to 150 m. Another PMD was added in 2015 to support 40 GbE over
singlemode up to at least 40 km. There is also a PMD defined for
supporting 40 GbE for at least 1 m over an electrical backplane.

Some key takeaways are that both 40 GbE and 100 GbE require
more than two fibres for transmission over multimode fibre. 40
GbE requires four transmit and four receive multimode fibres,
making a total of eight fibres per channel.

The newer 100 GbE PMD, 100GBASE-SR4, uses the same cable

require multichannel transmission. 40-Gigabit Ethernet over
singlemode uses four transmit channels and four receive
channels, each transmitting at 10 Gbps. 100-Gigabit Ethernet

totally eliminated.
All the cables installed permanently in constructions, to
transport power or for telecommunications, of any voltage level
and with copper or fibre optic conductors, must be classified on
the basis of the classes of premises where they will be installed.

The cables are classified in 7 classes of Reaction to Fire: Aca,


B1ca, B2ca, Cca, Dca, Eca and Fca identified by the subscript
“ca” (cable) as a function of their decreasing performance. As
well as this main classification, the European authorities have
also regulated the use of the following additional parameters:
• a = acidity which defines the hazard of the fumes for people
and the corrosiveness for things. Varies from a1 to a3
• s = opaqueness of the smoke. Varies from s1 to s3
• d = dropping of incandescent particles which could propagate
fire. Varies from d0 to d2.
A more severe check (System 1+) is required for the classes
from Aca to Cca. It lays down the initial check and continuous
monitoring of the product and checks of the manufacturing
control system, while for the classes from Dca to Eca the check
only lays down the initial product check (System 3). Class F,
however, is based on the manufacturer’s self-declaration
(System 4).
