Product Features
Product Overview
The APC Smart-UPS X SMX3000RMHV2UNC is a 3kVA/2700W line-interactive UPS engineered for enterprise server rooms, data centers, and critical networking environments. This 2U rack/tower convertible unit delivers pure sine wave output with automatic voltage regulation, ensuring clean, stable power for sensitive IT equipment like servers, storage arrays, and network switches. Its line-interactive topology provides efficient power conditioning with a rapid 4ms transfer time, seamlessly switching to battery during outages to maintain uptime.
Equipped with a preinstalled network management card and support for up to 10 external battery packs, this UPS offers scalable runtime and comprehensive remote monitoring capabilities. The hot-swappable, maintenance-free battery system allows for field replacement without interrupting connected devices, while the 11 IEC outlets—including 8x C13, 1x C19, and 2x jumper outlets—accommodate a diverse range of server and networking hardware. With user-selectable voltage settings from 200V to 240V, it adapts to various power infrastructures globally.
Technical Overview
This Smart-UPS X model operates on a line-interactive topology with 4ms transfer time, providing seamless transition to battery power during outages without disrupting connected equipment. The pure sine wave output ensures full compatibility with active PFC power supplies found in modern servers, storage systems, and networking gear, preventing potential damage or instability. The unit features automatic voltage regulation (AVR) that corrects minor voltage fluctuations without draining the battery, extending battery life and reducing wear.
The battery system utilizes sealed lead-acid chemistry with a maintenance-free, spill-proof design. At half load (1350W), runtime extends to 18 minutes, while full load (2700W) provides 6 minutes of backup power. The hot-swappable battery can be replaced without powering down connected devices, and the typical recharge time is 3 hours. The UPS includes robust surge protection with a 645 joule rating, safeguarding against power spikes and transients. Management interfaces include both serial and USB ports, alongside the preinstalled Web/SNMP management card for network-based control.
