Engineered to deliver the highest level of business continuity possible, the Symmetra LX uses a modular, redundant architecture that can scale power and runtime as demand increases or when higher levels of availability are required. A flexible design offers unmatched runtime and power capacity in space-constrained environments. Symmetra LX allows incredibly fast upgrades and maintenance with virtually all of its parts contained in field-swappable components.

Modular is BEST!
What can I say; this is a power module for a Symmetra LX UPS. Actually, I will add that it is a MODULAR power module for a Symmetra LX. You don't realize how lucky you are if you have a UPS that uses modular components until you perhaps have a failure. Repair is often as simple as ordering and then installing a new modular component! Others are not so lucky...

Great add on!
High density, double-conversion on-line power protection with scalable runtime, these features alone make this a must buy. Works well for my Symmetra our environment.

Expensive consumable
Similar to a previous review of this power module, I feel that they are the weak point in the Symmetra UPS. We have a lightly loaded 16K UPS (avg around 30% load), and this will be the 4th power module we've replaced in as many years. If you are planning to buy a Symmetra, better budget at least 10-15% of the purchase price per year on power module and battery replacement.
Also, I think it's a shame that APC won't take these power modules back for refurbishing and at least give the customer a core price on it. To APC, this is a "throw away" part.

Blown modules
The Symmetra is a quality system overall, but the power modules have some kind of design flaw. I need to order 2 more after blowing another module today. I have gone through 8 modules in 5 years. That is not good for a critical business class product.
Fortunately they work in aggregation so as long as you have power to spare you will be okay until the replacements are installed. I needed to install a new Compellent system and a power module blew as soon as I powered on one of the disc array enclosures. The load was at 70% percent so it shouldn't have been a problem.
