Xtreme Power Conversion UPS in Canada
We specify XPC in data centres, hospitals, telecom rooms and industrial plants across Canada, from single rack units to modular three-phase systems with N+1 redundancy.
Are Xtreme Power Conversion UPS systems any good? Yes. XPC builds true double-conversion equipment that we deploy in environments where the load cannot drop, and its modular three-phase line delivers hot-swappable power modules and N+1 redundancy at a cost that puts genuine redundancy within reach of projects that could not otherwise afford it. We supply, install, commission and maintain the full range across Canada.
What makes the platform strong
True double conversion
The load runs continuously off the inverter, so it is isolated from sags, surges, frequency drift and noise rather than merely protected at the moment of an outage.
Modular architecture
The M90 modular series holds multiple power modules in one frame. Capacity is added by adding modules, so the system grows with the load instead of being replaced.
N+1 redundancy built in
One module beyond what the load requires means a module can fail or be pulled for service while the rest carry the full load, with no transfer to raw utility power.
Hot-swappable service
Module level maintenance happens under live load. No maintenance bypass window, no negotiating an outage with the operations team.
Network management
SNMP cards, including the SNMP-2PV3 we fit as standard on P series units, put the UPS on your monitoring platform instead of leaving it as an unwatched box in a corner.
Serviceable by design
Conventional topology and standard components rather than sealed proprietary assemblies, which is what keeps parts obtainable across a ten year service life.
The modular three-phase series
The modular line is where XPC is most compelling. Instead of one fixed power block, the frame carries several power modules sharing the load. You buy the frame for the load you expect to have in year five, populate it for the load you have now, and add modules as you grow.
That architecture changes the economics of redundancy. On a monolithic unit, redundancy usually means buying a second UPS. On a modular frame it means one additional module. For a 20 kW N+1 configuration this is the difference between a redundancy budget that gets approved and one that gets cut, which is why we put it in front of clients who assumed N+1 was out of reach.
It also changes what service looks like. A failed module is exchanged while the remaining modules hold the load, so the recovery clock that used to be a scheduled shutdown becomes a module swap.
Where the modular line fits
- Server rooms and edge sites needing redundancy in a small footprint
- Loads expected to grow over the next three to five years
- Facilities that cannot schedule downtime for UPS service
- Projects where Tier 1 list pricing put N+1 out of budget
- Sites standardising on one platform across several rooms
Monitoring and MayaUPS integration
A UPS that nobody is watching is a UPS that surprises you. XPC units accept SNMP network management cards, which means they report to the same monitoring layer as the rest of your infrastructure, and they integrate cleanly with MayaUPS for continuous visibility of status, load, battery condition and alarms.
Where we deploy XPC
| Environment | Why XPC suits it | Typical configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Data centres and server rooms | Modular growth and hot-swap service without downtime windows | Modular three-phase frame with N+1 |
| Healthcare | Continuous double conversion for equipment that cannot tolerate a transfer | Online rack or three-phase with extended runtime |
| Telecom and network closets | Rack density with SNMP monitoring across distributed sites | Rack mount online units with network cards |
| Industrial and process control | Clean power for control systems in electrically noisy plants | Three-phase with appropriate input filtering |
| Multi-site standardisation | One platform, one spares pool, one service relationship | Matched units across locations |
Why our clients choose it
The value case
- Competitive against equivalent Tier 1 configurations, with the gap widening once redundancy is specified
- Redundancy that fits the budget instead of being value engineered out
- Parts and modules obtainable over the equipment’s service life
- One accountable supplier for sizing, supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance
Buyers usually arrive at XPC for the price and stay for the architecture. The modular frame solves a problem that a cheaper monolithic unit does not: it lets a facility add capacity and carry redundancy without a forklift replacement three years in.
What we bring alongside the equipment is the engineering. We size the system against your actual load and growth plan, specify runtime properly, coordinate the electrical work, commission the unit, and maintain it afterwards. The result is a system that is right for the room rather than a part number that arrived on a pallet.
