Product Features
Technical Overview
This double conversion online UPS topology provides complete isolation from utility power, delivering consistent 120V AC output regardless of input fluctuations within a 0-160V AC range. The 3 kVA/2.70 kW capacity supports mixed equipment loads typical in network infrastructure, from servers and switches to security system controllers. Sine wave output guarantees safe operation for active PFC power supplies found in modern computing gear.
The electrical design includes seven outlets: one NEMA L5-30R for high-draw equipment and six NEMA 5-15/20R receptacles for standard devices. Input protection handles brownouts and overvoltage conditions while maintaining clean power delivery. Battery management extends cell life through temperature-compensated charging and automatic self-test routines that verify readiness without manual intervention.

Key Product Advantages
The EC3000RT2U combines enterprise-grade power protection with deployment flexibility that suits both rack-mounted and tower installations. Its 2U height optimizes rack space while the substantial 3 kVA capacity handles demanding network loads without compromise.
Zero Transfer Time Protection
Double conversion technology eliminates transfer delays during power events, providing seamless backup that prevents even momentary interruptions to connected equipment.
Flexible Installation Options
Mount vertically in standard 19-inch racks using included hardware or operate as a standalone tower with stable footprint design for office environments.
Maintenance Without Downtime
Hot-swappable battery modules enable replacement during normal operation, eliminating scheduled downtime for battery maintenance cycles.
Deployment / Use Cases
This UPS serves as primary protection for network infrastructure where power quality directly impacts uptime. The 3-minute runtime at full load provides sufficient buffer for short outages while allowing controlled shutdown during extended power failures.
Typical deployments include server racks supporting business applications, network closets with switches and routers, and security systems with DVRs and access control panels. The outlet mix accommodates both high-wattage servers via the L5-30R connection and lower-power devices like modems and cameras through standard outlets.
