Power module APC Symmetra PX 10/16 kW 400V, output 16 kVA, 28.5 kg

APC Symmetra PX power module rated 10/16 kW at 400 V provides modular, scalable power for Symmetra PX UPS systems. This 16 kVA output module is designed for use in data centers and critical infrastructure where redundant, hot-swappable power is required. The module supports input frequencies from 40 to 70 Hz and is certified to international standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility. With a net weight of 28.5 kg and compact dimensions suitable for Symmetra PX frames, it enables flexible capacity expansion and replacement without interrupting protected loads.

Advantages

The module delivers a high-efficiency power block that integrates with Symmetra PX enclosures to provide scalable redundancy and simplified maintenance. Its backward compatibility with earlier modules ensures easy upgrades and interoperability across different Symmetra PX configurations. Certification to CE, EN 50091-1, EN 50091-3, FCC Part 15 Class A and VFI-SS-111 confirms compliance with recognized safety and EMC requirements. The hot‑swappable design and compact weight facilitate fast field service and reduced mean time to repair.

Suitable for

• Data center power capacity expansion and redundancy
• Network rooms and server cabinets requiring modular UPS scaling
• Critical infrastructure environments such as telecom and healthcare facilities
• Environments where hot‑swap replacement and minimal downtime are required

Key specifications

• Output capacity: 16 kVA (rated 10/16 kW at 400 V)
• Input frequency range: 40–70 Hz
• Compatibility: designed for Symmetra PX 160 kW and PX 48 kW systems; backward compatible with earlier 10 kW modules and autodetects 10 kW operation in lower-capacity enclosures
• Net weight: 28.5 kg
• Certifications: CE, EN 50091-1, EN 50091-3, FCC Part 15 Class A, VFI-SS-111

How to use

Install the power module into a compatible Symmetra PX chassis following the UPS manufacturer’s installation procedure. Ensure the UPS enclosure is powered down or in a safe maintenance state if required by the service manual, or perform a hot‑swap operation where supported to avoid interruption. Verify enclosure capacity and load balance after insertion; the module will autodetect appropriate power mode when installed in lower‑capacity systems. After installation, confirm status LEDs and management console readings to ensure the module is operating and integrated with the UPS system.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, install modules in accordance with APC service guidelines and within the specified environmental conditions for the Symmetra PX system. Plan capacity additions to maintain N+1 or required redundancy levels, and perform regular firmware and diagnostics checks via the UPS management interface. Handle the module carefully and use appropriate lifting aids for the 28.5 kg net weight.
