SY20K160H — APC Symmetra PX Scalable UPS 20–160 kW
The APC Symmetra PX is Schneider Electric's modular, scalable three-phase UPS system designed for data centres and critical facilities that need to grow power capacity online without downtime, starting from 20 kW and scaling to 160 kW within a single frame by adding hot-swappable 10 kW or 20 kW power modules. This pay-as-you-grow architecture means a Riyadh data centre can commission a 20 kW Symmetra PX on day one and add capacity in lockstep with IT load growth — eliminating the massive capital outlay and efficiency penalty of sizing a monolithic UPS for ten-year peak load from the start. Each power module is independently redundant, so the failure of any single module is automatically absorbed by the remaining modules with zero impact on connected IT load.
Technically, the Symmetra PX delivers double-conversion VFI-class protection (IEC 62040-3) with an output power factor of 1.0, ensuring the full rated kW is available for real IT loads. Its input power factor correction stage exceeds 0.99, reducing generator sizing requirements. The modular battery system mirrors the power module scalability — runtime can be extended by adding battery modules, and individual battery modules can be hot-swapped without a maintenance bypass, making it the most serviceable large UPS in its class. The built-in bypass switch enables maintenance access to internal components without removing the UPS from service.
In Saudi Arabia, the Symmetra PX has become the preferred UPS platform for enterprise data centres at Saudi banks (Al Rajhi, SNB, SABB), telecommunications operators (STC, Zain, Mobily), and large government agencies where phased IT expansion makes incremental UPS scaling economically essential. The Public Investment Fund's technology portfolio companies and NEOM's technology sector tenants favour the Symmetra PX for its ability to match UPS capacity precisely to server population growth, avoiding the stranded capital of oversized conventional UPS systems.
Razz Middle East provides complete Symmetra PX lifecycle management: initial power chain design, system supply, installation, commissioning, and modular expansion planning as the facility grows. We maintain Schneider-trained service engineers and carry power module and battery module spares for fast response to service calls across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and the Eastern Province.

Key Features & Benefits
- Modular 10 kW and 20 kW hot-swappable power modules allow online capacity scaling from 20 kW to 160 kW without downtime — eliminating the capital and efficiency penalty of oversizing a monolithic UPS.
- N+1 module redundancy within a single frame means any single power module failure is automatically compensated by remaining modules with zero load impact and no external bypass required.
- Hot-swappable battery modules with no-break replacement extend runtime capacity online and allow battery replacement without maintenance bypass, reducing scheduled maintenance windows.
- 1.0 output power factor delivers the full nameplate kW rating as usable load power, matching the near-unity PF of modern server PSUs without requiring UPS derating.
- IEC 62040-3 VFI-SS-111 classification provides the highest UPS performance category, ensuring complete output independence from input frequency and voltage variations.
- EcoStruxure IT integration provides module-level health monitoring, predictive battery replacement alerts, and remote performance dashboards accessible from anywhere via secure cloud connection.
- Built-in maintenance bypass switch enables internal component access without removing the UPS from service, complying with data centre maintenance protocols that prohibit planned IT outages.
