Data centers require new power supply architectures that can scale in real-time with business growth. That’s what MNS-Up is designed to deliver.

MNS-Up allows for easy scale-up from 100 kW up to tens of MWs to enable companies to keep their investments in step with the capacity needs. Each 100 kW UPS module is fully independent, and five such modules can be fit into each frame. Up to six frames can be assembled into a single system for up to 3 MW. For larger power requirements, these 3 MW systems can then be connected in parallel, now or in the future.

MNS-Up puts companies in control of their growth and their expenditure.

100 kW

modules allow to pay as you grow

Conventional back-up power takes up a lot of valuable space. The more you expand, the more space it takes up.

MNS-Up offers the same performance as a conventional back-up power system but in a much smaller footprint. By integrating proven UPS and switchgear technologies into a single, modular system and eliminating external bus or cable connections, MNS-Up saves space, time and money. For a simple 500 kW system, the space saving can be 20%. For systems of 2 MW or more, the footprint can be reduced by more than 30%.

Time is money, but in a data center so is space. MNS-Up helps to save all three, time, money and space.

20 to 30%

of space saving

Faster installation and commissioning means operations start sooner
Planned incremental additions ensure responsible energy consumption and facility growth match with business growth
Switchgear and UPS modules can be safely and rapidly swapped online, lowering maintenance costs and maintaining uptime
Design-verified assembly of MNS-Up means longer mean time between failures
With ABB factories and service centers in 106 countries, customers receive fast deliveries and responsive, professional local support

MNS^®-Up integrates tried and tested innovations to eliminate cabling and bulky bolt-ons that waste space. The system comprises:

• ABB Conceptpower DPA 500 uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
• ABB MNS switchgear with Emax 2 circuit breakers

Trusted UPS
The Conceptpower DPA 500 was developed by ABB for data centers and other mission-critical facilities that demand zero downtime. Major international stock exchanges and data centers use Conceptpower DPA 500, the online, double-conversion UPS of choice worldwide.

MNS-Up’s UPS modules use a decentralized parallel architecture. Each module has its own input switch, bypass, UPS and output switch. Each module’s hardware and software operates self-sufficiently.
As a result, each module is isolated from failures anywhere else in the system. Each module can also be removed for maintenance without shutting down the UPS.

Design-verified switchgear
MNS-Up combines the proven MNS switchgear with the space-saving new Emax 2 circuit breaker. With four decades of technical development and 1.5 million MNS systems installed around the world, it is the industry benchmark in operational safety, reliability and quality.
