Product Features
Product Overview
The APC Smart-UPS 3000VA rackmount UPS is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply designed for critical server, storage, and network equipment protection in data center and IT closet environments. This 2U rack-mountable unit delivers 3 kVA (2.7 kW) of pure sine wave output power at 208V AC, providing reliable backup power during utility outages and voltage fluctuations.
Featuring Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), the Smart-UPS corrects minor voltage variations without switching to battery, extending battery life and maintaining stable power to connected equipment. The integrated LCD display offers real-time status monitoring, while hot-swappable battery design allows for maintenance without powering down connected loads. With its 2 x NEMA L6-20R outlets and comprehensive management capabilities, this UPS ensures business continuity for essential infrastructure.
Technical Overview
This line-interactive UPS operates with single-phase power input and output at 208V AC, delivering pure sine wave output that's compatible with sensitive electronic equipment. The unit provides 320 joules of surge energy protection and includes both serial and USB connectivity for monitoring and management. PowerChute Serial Edition software enables graceful shutdown of connected systems during extended power outages.
The maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid battery is hot-swappable and spill-proof, with typical recharge time of 3 hours after complete discharge. The UPS meets Energy Star requirements and complies with RoHS environmental standards, manufactured in the Philippines with a black finish that blends with standard rack equipment.
The 3 kVA (3000 VA) apparent power rating corresponds to 2.7 kW (2700 watts) of real power capacity, making it suitable for protecting multiple servers, storage arrays, or network switches simultaneously. With 2 x NEMA L6-20R outlets, the unit accommodates standard rack power distribution connections while the 8-foot (2.44 m) input cord provides flexibility in rack placement relative to power sources.
