While most DC power panels only distribute energy, nrgILS introduces automated decision-making. Equipped with real-time current and voltage monitoring, the panel can detect grid conditions and act instantly: restarting unresponsive equipment, disconnecting non-essential loads when backup power is available, sequencing recovery to reduce inrush current, and enabling scheduled power on/off controls. These capabilities provide operators with smarter, more agile energy management without requiring physical on-site intervention.
“Energy management is becoming a strategic advantage for operators,” said Jon White, Product Manager at Amphenol Network Solutions. “nrgILS™ is designed to help them work smarter. It provides the intelligence needed to protect availability, optimize energy use, and automatically respond to the demands of today’s network environments.”
Intelligent power control that adapts to real-world conditions.
nrgILS™ expands the capabilities of Amphenol's nrgSMART platform by adding intelligent load shedding and automated circuit control. Key features include:
• Eliminates service calls: Automatic ping-based reboots restore unresponsive equipment without the need for on-site visits.
• Extends battery life: Intelligent load shedding prioritizes critical loads during power outages.
• Optimizes energy consumption: Scheduled on/off cycles reduce costs during periods of low demand.
• Prevents cascading failures: Amperage-based protection proactively disconnects suspect loads.
• Ensures clean recovery: Sequenced startup reduces inrush current after critical events.
Every action on the circuits is recorded to facilitate troubleshooting, providing operators with a clear history of every power event.
Beyond intelligence, nrgILS™ is designed for density and flexibility. It supports dual A/B power with continuous currents up to 325 amps per line, along with 16 output circuits, providing high energy density in a true 1RU form factor. Each circuit supports higher loads, making it ideal for today's high-power network devices, while maintaining efficient use of rack space and precise control over power distribution and protection.
nrgILS™ integrates with existing monitoring systems, allows secure remote access, and includes manual hardware locks for circuits that should never be powered down.
