Product Features
Technical Overview
This double conversion online UPS continuously converts incoming AC power to DC and back to AC, providing complete isolation from utility power issues. It accepts a 120V AC input with a wide range of 0-160V AC, delivering a regulated 120V AC sine wave output. The 2 kVA/1.80 kW capacity supports substantial loads, with a 3-minute runtime at full load to facilitate safe shutdowns or bridge short outages.
The electrical design includes automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct minor fluctuations without switching to battery, extending battery life. The pure sine wave output is compatible with active PFC power supplies found in modern servers and networking gear, preventing potential compatibility issues and ensuring optimal performance.

FAQ
What is the power capacity of this Minuteman UPS?
The Minuteman EC2000RT2U has a load capacity of 2 kVA (2000 VA) or 1.80 kW. This rating indicates the maximum apparent power and real power it can support, making it suitable for protecting substantial IT equipment like network switches, servers, or security system components during power outages or fluctuations.
How long will this UPS run at full load?
At full load (1.80 kW), this UPS provides a backup runtime of 3 minutes. This duration offers a critical window to save work and perform graceful shutdowns of connected equipment, or to bridge very short utility power interruptions, ensuring operational continuity in network closets and security applications.
Can this UPS be installed in a server rack?
Yes, the EC2000RT2U is designed for both rack and tower installation. It has a 2U rack height, meaning it occupies two rack units (3.5 inches) in a standard 19-inch rack. The unit includes the necessary hardware for secure rack mounting, and its form factor is explicitly listed as Rack/Tower for deployment flexibility.
What type of power output does this UPS provide?
This UPS provides a pure sine wave output at 120V AC. A pure sine wave is the cleanest form of AC power, identical to utility power, which ensures compatibility with sensitive electronics, including servers with active PFC power supplies. This prevents potential damage or instability that can occur with simulated sine wave outputs.
How many devices can I connect to this UPS?
The UPS features 6 NEMA 5-15/20R receptacles, allowing you to connect up to six devices directly. These outlets support both standard 5-15P and 5-20P plugs. The unit itself uses a NEMA 5-20P plug to connect to your wall outlet, providing a robust connection for its 1.80kW capacity.
What is the warranty for this Minuteman UPS?
The Minuteman Encompass EC2000RT2U comes with a 3-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing assurance of the product's reliability and durability for critical power protection applications over an extended period.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
The listed power specification is 2 kVA, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
What voltage details are listed?
