Power Distribution Best Practices
Vertiv provides leading power distribution solutions across the entire power path, from the floor to the rack. The trend for larger sites has been to adopt two stage distribution that better supports the growing number of circuits in a data center.
No Raised Floor? No Problem.
Just select the top-exit option. By placing the input and output conduit connections at the top of the unit, the top-exit Liebert PPC brings the benefits of high quality packaged power systems to non-raised floor applications. Plus, the unit retains the normal bottom output cable exit for easy relocation and expansion flexibility.
Ideal for slab data centers, off ice environments, laboratories, manufacturing technology, process control rooms, medical imaging suites and more.
Leverage the Power of a Package
Compared to a conventional power distribution system built at the site and using multiple interconnected components, the Liebert PPC provides a much smaller footprint, reduced installation time, less cost and easier service access.
Benefits that make a difference
- Main input breaker with low voltage shunt trip provides optional primary transformer overcurrent protection and control
- Higher efficiency than standard transformers
- Supplemental transformer protection guards from abnormally high winding temperature
- Individually enclosed panelboards with panelboard main breaker and individual isolated neutral and ground busbars distribute high quality power
- Output conduit landings for each output panelboard facilitate many dedicated branch circuits

Configurations for Large Deployments:
Meeting Demands for Capacity, Footprint, Flexibility and Cost
The Liebert PPC can be configured in various distribution configurations to meet specific application requirements for larger capacity demands. Each is optimized around key factors, such as footprint, flexibility, safety and scalability, while providing reliable, cost effective power distribution. These are usually applied using 300kVA systems and above most used in two stage distribution.
Large Liebert PPC Options
I-Line Panelboards
Using I-Line panelboards offers excellent power flexibility. Most of the time that added agility requires a relatively larger footprint and a higher cost.
Fixed Mounted Breakers
Projects driven by footprint and economics should consider fixed mounted distribution breakers. Vertiv offers several options that can save footprint and money over traditional solutions.
Narrow Profile
For an advanced, forward thinking configuration the Narrow Profile Liebert PPC uses a rotated transformer section to reduce the footprint significantly. From that configuration we can offer either fixed output breakers or our innovative compartmentalized isolated distribution system. Perfect for safe, “live” circuit installs and maintenance.

Narrow Profile Liebert PPC with Isolation Distribution
Optimized Isolated Distribution
Innovative Features Set a New Standard
Improved Safety
- Isolated load-side breaker compartments provide isolation between the line side and load side of the breakers using non-conductive polycarbonate material. Impact: Maintains service and IR scan without taking down the critical load, limits exposure to hazardous arc flash potential
- Isolated monitoring components allows for maintenance and service without powering down critical loads
- IR scan ports are easily accessible to allow scans of all transformer/output bus connections, while reducing PPE requirements
- Plug-in breakers with electronic trip settings enhance flexibility
Lower Capital Cost
- Isolated compartment positions enable a “growth as you go” approach to breakers. Expand only as customers or loads require
- Innovative design allows adding up to (8) 600AF or (10) 250AF plug-in breakers without powering down the PDU
- Space-saving footprint enables location flexibility and more revenue generating IT equipment
- Optional dual output voltage taps (415V and 208V) provide added flexibility to meet new loads

These microprocessor-based systems provide historical data on room conditions for future requirement planning and troubleshooting. In addition, for communication of monitored parameters and alarm information to other monitoring systems. A Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card can also be used to enable cost-effective monitoring of a Liebert PPC by your facility or network monitoring systems. The Unity card provides several protocol options (SNMP, Modbus, BACnet) in one card.
Event Management and Reporting
Liebert SiteScan Web will show you exactly where the problem — not some cryptic message that will leave you guessing. Events and alarms associated with a specific system, area or equipment selected in the navigation tree are displayed. This view allows you to monitor alarm or event information geographically, as well as to acknowledge event, sort events by category, actions and verify reporting actions.
Data Analysis and Trending Reporting
With Liebert SiteScan Web you get powerful tools to analyze data and use it to prevent specific problems form occurring again. The operator can view trends by using the navigation tree and selecting the "trends" button in the graphic window. Users can create custom trend data that consist of one or more multiple data points.

Grounding Studies
A grounding system is one of the most important, yet neglected, segments of a critical facility’s electrical power system. Testing it is not only prudent, it is required by the National Electrical Code. Grounding studies ensure protection from low-level arcing ground faults that can destroy your switchgear in seconds and put personnel in danger. Vertiv’s grounding studies include the required tests and inspections needed to verify your system’s integrity.
