MPX BRM
—Branch Receptacle Module (Power Output)
The MPX BRM provides output power distribution to user load equipment. All MPX BRMs include 
output receptacles (NEMA, Schuko or IEC) that are overload-protected by 100% rated hydraulic-
magnetic circuit breakers.
MPX BRMs are hot-swappable to allow user installation without powering down the Liebert MPX. Up 
to three standard sized (266mm) MPX BRMs can be deployed on a Liebert MPX utilizing the MPX 
PRC (Power Rail Chassis) for typical 23U racks and up to six standard size MPX BRMs (Branch 
Receptacle Modules) for units utilizing the 1880mm MPX PRC
 for typical 42U racks. All MPX BRMs 
include an alphanumeric LED indicator that uniquely identifies the individual module.
North American and European models of the MPX BRM are available in the following versions and 
features:
• Elementary version provides power distribution only. Power metering and alarming are not 
supported.
• Branch Monitoring version of the MPX BRM provides power distribution and branch power 
metering, including voltage, current, kW, kVA, kW-h and power factor.
• Receptacle Management version of the MPX BRM provides the same features as the Branch 
Monitoring models, plus power metering, including crest factor, On/Off control, current alarming, 
and operational status of individual receptacles. The receptacles may either be turned On or Off 
remotely or programmed for automatic power-on sequencing.
Other important features include:
•  An alphanumeric indicator to provide module identification and operational status (not 
Elementary models) of the branch current condition. Additionally, the Branch Monitoring version 
provides current alarming and operational status of the branch. The unit displays an “o” for an 
overcurrent condition and a “u” for an undercurrent condition.
•  For Receptacle Management versions, a visual indicator per receptacle alerts the user to the 
current condition of the load (not Elementary models).
•  The circuit breaker may be opened with the use of a tool. Open circuit breaker detection causes 
the alphanumeric indicator to flash (not Elementary models).
•  Voltage phasing is determined by the power blade configuration on the bottom of each MPX 
BRM
, and is clearly marked on the color coded label.
•  IEC C13 receptacle types are provided with retaining clips to provide strain relief for the load's 
power supply cord.
