APC SYPM4KP - 4 kVA Power Module Symmetra LX
Overview :
The APC SYPM4KP is a modular power supply unit engineered for the APC Symmetra LX UPS family. It is deployed by data center engineers, facility technicians, and field service teams tasked with scaling or maintaining industrial-grade UPS capacity in rack-mount environments. As a hot-swappable module, it addresses the need for incremental power capacity and redundancy in double-conversion online UPS systems.
The module provides a 4 kVA (4000 VA) capacity with a 3.2 kW output, supporting a range of nominal output voltages, including 100 V, 120 V, 200 V, and 208 V. The output is delivered via a hard-wired 4-wire (2PH + N + G) connection, and waveform quality is maintained below 5 % total harmonic distortion at full load. Input voltage flexibility covers 200 V and 208 V AC, with an operational range of 155-276 V at 45-65 Hz auto-sensing, fitting typical North American and international UPS deployment voltage ecosystems.
Physically, the SYPM4KP is a 0U plug-in module that integrates into a Symmetra LX chassis. Its compact dimensions allow deployment in rack PDUs and UPS frameworks with minimal horizontal space consumption, making it suitable for IT closets, server rooms, and distributed edge racks where space and scalability are priorities.
Integration into the Symmetra LX UPS ecosystem follows a front-serviceable design: modules slide into dedicated slots without tools, enabling hot-swap maintenance and N+1 redundancy configurations. Patch technicians and data center teams can replace or add capacity without disrupting protected loads.
In a practical deployment, operators might install multiple SYPM4KP modules in a Symmetra LX chassis to stage incremental capacity for virtualization hosts, SAN arrays, and networking gear. Configuring redundant power modules enhances uptime and load sharing while facilitating planned service without full UPS shutdown.
This module is not stand-alone UPS hardware and cannot supply power independently; it must be used within a compatible Symmetra LX rack-mount chassis with associated battery modules. It is also not designed for environments outside controlled indoor IT infrastructure due to its reliance on compliant ventilation and temperature conditions.
