Series 70 eRPPs
The Series 70 eRPP is a true Mission Critical Remote Power Panel
panel board design that responds to the needs of the modern,
always-on data-processing environment.

The Series 70 eRPP provides a high performance, safe, reliable

and convenient method by which electrical power to high density
computer server racks can be distributed and monitored.

High Performance Design

• Circuit breakers specifically selected for mission critical

application
• Circuit breakers are plug-in, high-speed, current limiting,
25kAIC; designed for selective tripping
• A bolted fault on one branch circuit breaker is interrupted in
less than 4 milliseconds
• As a result, the rest of the loads fed by the panel board
survive the fault. The voltage interruption on the main bus is
less than 4 milliseconds (half cycle).
IP-20 Finger Safe • Panel board designed with fault withstand rating of 25kA for
Coordinated For Selective Tripping robust performance in a dynamic environment

Designed for Safety High Density Application

As the awareness and enforcement of safety standards has Computer processor capability is growing exponentially; as is its
gathered momentum, the need for safer panel board designs has voracity to consume power. The Series 70 eRPP is ideally suited
become mandatory. The Series 70 eRPP incorporates a ground-
for this trend toward higher density application. It is available
breaking panel board design that is based on a resin/epoxy
coated bus network. in 400A panel board designs; 100% rated for continuous duty
operation
The operator is not exposed to live bus under normal operating
and installation conditions.

Attention to design detail has ensured that unlike contemporary

bolt-on panel board designs, the new design ensures that
even the screw which holds the breaker in position is not live/
energized.
 Panel Board Branch Power Monitor
To support the total needs of an increasingly information
centric data processing environment, the Series 70 eRPP
may be optionally equipped with a branch circuit level
power monitor. The Panel Board Branch Power Monitor
allows site management to monitor power consumption at
the branch circuit and hence rack/server level. This provides
information that is increasingly vital to the revenue model
of many data processing units.
In addition to measuring the main bus voltage of the
panel board, the power monitor measures the following
parameters for each of the 42 branch circuits in a given
panel board:
• Current (A)
• Frequency (Hz)
• Power (kW)
• Apparent Power (kVA)
• Power Factor
• Power Consumption (kW-H)
• Waveform capture upon overcurrent at any branch
Electrical Configurations
• Voltage Ratings: 120/208V; 3-phase; 4-wire
• Current Rating: 225A (100% rated); or 400A (100% rated)
• Two panel board (84 circuit) version with one or two
main feeds
• Four panel board (168 circuit) version with one, two or
four main feeds
• Panel Board Main Circuit Breaker is plug-in
• Each Panel Board may be fed by two separate sources
and may have two 4-pole main circuit breakers
• Main Circuit Breaker is 100% continuous duty rated
• Branch CB fault rating: 25kAIC standard
• Panel board main CB fault rating: 25kAIC standard
• Panel board TVSS (Category B3) optional
Product Conformance to Standards: UL 60950

Panel Board Main Circuit Power Monitor
In addition to the Panel Board Branch Power Monitor, each
Series 70 eRPP panel board may be optionally equipped to
provide aggregated power metrics at the panel board main
circuit breaker level. This power monitor measures the
following parameters at the load terminals of main circuit
breaker of the panel board:
• Voltage (V)
• Current (A)
• Frequency (Hz)
• Power (kW)
• Apparent Power (kVA)
• Power Factor
• Power Consumption (kW-H)
• Waveform capture of power quality anomaly at mains
Connectivity
Each panel board, with either the Branch Power Monitor
or the Main Circuit Power Monitor, is equipped with the
ability to communicate measured information remotely to
the Building Management System using Open protocols. The
connectivity is Ethernet based and the design is plug-n-play.
Each panel board is assigned a fixed IP address. Information
is accessed via:
• Web-browser (http://) service
• MODBUS TCP/IP service
• SNMP service
• Bluetooth
Mechanical Configurations
• Front-only access: 2-panel board/84 circuit configuration
• Front/Rear-access: 4-panel board/168 circuit configuration
• Viewing windows on doors
• Door-in-door hinged dead-front covers
• Top/Bottom main cable access
• Top/Bottom branch cable access
• Circuit identification tags on panel board
• Dimensions (2-panel board): 24”W x 24”D x 96”H
• Dimensions (4-panel board): 24”W x 48”D x 96”H
