• Supports high‑density equipment setups
• Ensures redundancy and headroom for future growth

✅ 3. Flexible Input Options

Supports 380 V / 400 V / 415 V 3‑phase input plus both single and dual AC input feeds.

Benefits:

• Works with a wide range of power infrastructures
• Dual input enhances feed redundancy

✅ 4. Parallel‑Ready for Redundancy or Capacity

You can parallel multiple units for:
✔ Increased power capacity
✔ N+1 redundancy

This means your critical loads stay protected even if one UPS fails.

✅ 5. High Efficiency — Lower Operating Costs

Efficiencies like ~94 % in online mode and up to ~98 % in Eco mode mean less wasted energy:
