Product Features
Product Overview
The Tripp Lite by Eaton AVR550U is a line-interactive UPS engineered to deliver reliable battery backup and surge protection for critical electronics across home, office, and light commercial environments. With a 550VA/300W capacity, it safeguards equipment against blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, and line noise, providing sufficient runtime for safe system shutdowns and operational continuity during brief power interruptions.
This unit features Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) with a boost +18% / buck -15% range, ensuring stable output voltage without draining the battery during minor fluctuations. Its ultra-compact form factor supports flexible placement as a desktop unit, tower, or wall-mounted installation, making it suitable for space-constrained setups. The UPS includes eight NEMA 5-15R outlets—four with battery backup and surge protection, and four dedicated to surge-only protection—allowing prioritization of essential devices like computers, routers, and networking gear while extending protection to peripherals such as printers and speakers.
Designed for efficiency, the AVR550U operates with greater than 95% energy efficiency, qualifying as a GREEN UPS with low BTU emissions. It delivers a pulse-width modulated sine wave output, maintaining compatibility with sensitive electronics. The transfer time is 6 ms, ensuring seamless transition to battery power during outages. Comprehensive protection features include an EMI/RFI noise filter, RJ-11 dataline protection, and a surge energy rating of 316 joules, providing robust defense against power anomalies.
Management is facilitated via a USB HID-compliant port for integration with included PowerAlert monitoring software, enabling automatic safe shutdowns, runtime monitoring, and battery health alerts. The intelligent alarm system remains silent during normal backup operation, only sounding for critical conditions like low battery or overload, minimizing disruptions in home or office settings. Housed in a black chassis, the unit measures 4.33" x 6.40" x 12" (109.98 x 162.56 x 304.80 mm) and weighs 13.69 lb (6210 g), with reliable operation in environments up to 104°F (40°C) and 10,000 ft elevation.
Technical Overview
The AVR550U is built on a line-interactive topology with single-phase power handling, delivering consistent performance for a wide range of applications. Its 12 V DC battery system is user-replaceable and backed by a 6-year typical battery life, with a typical recharge time of 8 hours. The UPS provides backup runtime of 2 minutes at full load (300W) and 9 minutes at half load (150W), offering a practical window for saving work and executing safe shutdowns during power failures.
Input and output specifications include 120 V AC input voltage with 12 A input current, and output voltage adjustable across 110 V AC, 115 V AC, and 120 V AC, all at 60 Hz frequency. This flexibility ensures compatibility with standard North American power systems. The unit features a 6 ft (1.83 m) power cord with NEMA 5-15P plug, and eight NEMA 5-15R receptacles—four battery & surge outlets and four surge-only outlets—enabling efficient power distribution and device prioritization.
Advanced protection mechanisms include an EMI/RFI noise filter to reduce electrical interference, RJ-11 dataline protection for connected phone or modem lines, and a surge energy rating of 316 joules for robust surge suppression. Status indicators comprise two LEDs: green for power status and operating mode, and red for alerts such as battery-low, overload, replace-battery, and fault conditions. The USB HID-compliant port supports seamless integration with PowerAlert software for real-time monitoring and configuration.
Environmental resilience is ensured with storage temperature tolerance from 5°F to 113°F (-15°C to 45°C) and maximum operating temperature of 104°F (40°C), alongside compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) standards. The ultra-compact desktop/tower/wall mount form factor allows versatile installation in tight spaces, from server closets to entertainment centers, while the black finish blends discreetly into various settings.
