FAQ
What is the power rating of this APC transformer?
The APC SURT003 transformer has a 4.80 kVA power rating, providing substantial capacity for converting and isolating power for multiple devices or equipment racks. This rating indicates the maximum apparent power the transformer can handle while maintaining proper voltage conversion and isolation functions.
What input and output voltages does this transformer support?
This transformer accepts input voltages of 208V or 240V AC and delivers output at 120V or 208V AC. This flexibility allows deployment in various electrical environments and supports equipment with different voltage requirements without needing additional conversion devices.
Is this transformer rack-mountable and what are its rack dimensions?
Yes, the transformer is designed for rack mounting in standard 19-inch equipment racks. It occupies 3U of vertical space (approximately 5.25 inches) and has a rack width of 19 inches. The compact 3U height makes efficient use of rack space while providing 4.8kVA conversion capacity.
What types of receptacles does this transformer have?
