The Liebert® GXE performs with high efficiency up to 94% in online mode and up to 98% in ECO mode, driving energy and operational costs savings compared to other models available on the market. The high output power factor of 1.0 enables continuous and reliable power to more connected devices, protecting them against many disturbances in the AC mains with the online double conversion technology and the input surge protection. The flexible rackmount or tower form factor, with rackmount kits included as a standard, facilitates stock management for distribution in the IT channel and simplifies installation to accommodate various micro data center and edge computing needs.
The unit’s runtime can be extended with up to four external battery cabinets (EBC) for longer back-up protection, and the hot-swappable VRLA batteries can be easily replaced by users without the assistance of skilled personnel and without shutdown of the loads for smoother operations and minimized maintenance costs. Additionally, the Liebert GXE has an integrated 4 Amps charger providing quick battery recharge up to 90% in just 3 hours that can be critical in case of frequent mains failures, and an integrated battery management system to optimize battery life and recycling.
The Vertiv™ Liebert® GXE includes a user-friendly LCD color display that makes it easy and intuitive to use. The unit offers remote monitoring capabilities for quick and easy access to IT infrastructure, through the optional Vertiv™ Liebert® Intellislot™ Unity Communications card and a free download of Vertiv™ Power Insight software. Moreover, customers can also rely on Vertiv™ LIFE™ Services to support remote maintenance and servicing of the UPS for maximum availability.
