1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

DC Power Plants from APC have unique features that make them easy to install, maintain, and upgrade. The rectifier units are modular and truly “hot-pluggable” into the shelf assembly without any separate ac wiring.

All system settings are controlled from the system control unit that provides monitoring and control functions for each component of the system as well as alarm outputs for system diagnosis and maintenance.

The APC international network of sales and service offices and qualified representatives provides sales assistance for proposals, purchases, and after-sales support.
