Product Features
Technical Overview
This double-conversion online UPS continuously converts incoming AC power to DC and back to clean AC output, providing complete isolation from utility power issues. The pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with sensitive server power supplies, medical equipment, and industrial controls that require high-quality power waveforms.
With 3kVA/2700W capacity, the unit delivers 4 minutes of runtime at full load, extendable through external battery packs. The 208V single-phase input and output match commercial power standards, while the three NEMA outlets (one L6-30R and two L6-20R) provide flexible device connectivity.
This section brings together practical product details such as Plug/Connector Type, Receptacle Type, Receptacle Detail, Load Capacity (VA), so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The Smart-UPS SRT series delivers enterprise-grade power protection with features that matter most for uptime-sensitive environments. The true online double-conversion design means connected equipment never sees raw utility power, eliminating transfer switches and providing seamless protection against sags, surges, and outages.
Runtime Flexibility
Supports up to 10 external battery packs (SRT96RMBP) for extended runtime requirements, allowing customization based on your specific backup needs without replacing the main unit.
- 4-minute base runtime at full load
- External battery expansion capability
- 3-hour typical recharge time
Management & Monitoring
Includes PowerChute Serial Edition software for automatic graceful shutdowns via USB or serial connection, plus SmartSlot compatibility for additional management card options.
- Serial and USB shutdown support
- SmartSlot for expansion cards
- Energy Star certified design
Deployment / Use Cases
This 3kVA UPS is engineered for environments where power quality directly impacts operations and revenue. The zero-transfer-time design makes it ideal for medical diagnostic equipment, laboratory instruments, and industrial controls that cannot tolerate even momentary power interruptions.
In IT infrastructure, the unit protects rack-mounted servers, storage arrays, and network gear in small to medium server rooms. The rack/tower convertible design allows deployment in standard 19-inch racks using optional rail kits (SRTRK4 or SRTRK3), or as a standalone tower where rack space is limited.
Server & Network Protection
Provides clean power for critical servers, storage systems, and voice/data network equipment, preventing data corruption and hardware damage during power events.
Light Industrial Applications
Suitable for manufacturing controls, testing equipment, and medical devices where pure sine wave output and zero transfer time ensure operational continuity.
Physical Profile
The black tower unit measures 17.01" (432 mm) high, 3.35" (85 mm) wide, and 25" (635 mm) deep, with a substantial 69 lb weight reflecting its robust construction and battery capacity. Removable support feet allow conversion to rack-mount configuration, though rail kits must be purchased separately for proper rack installation.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the difference between double-conversion online and line-interactive UPS topology?
Double-conversion online UPS continuously converts AC to DC and back to AC, providing complete isolation from utility power with zero transfer time. Line-interactive units only engage when power fluctuates, causing brief transfers. This online design offers superior protection for sensitive equipment.
How many devices can I connect to this UPS given its outlet configuration?
The UPS has three NEMA L6 outlets: one L6-30R (30 amp) and two L6-20R (20 amp). You can connect up to three devices directly, though total load must not exceed 3kVA/2700W. For additional devices, use a properly rated PDU connected to one outlet.
What is the actual runtime I can expect for my specific equipment load?
The 4-minute runtime is at full 3kVA load. Runtime increases significantly at lower loads. For example, at 50% load (1.5kVA), runtime typically doubles or more. Exact runtime depends on your equipment's actual power draw and battery condition.
Can this UPS be installed in a standard 19-inch server rack?
Yes, the unit is rack-mountable with optional rail kits SRTRK4 or SRTRK3 (sold separately). Without rails, it functions as a tower using the included removable support feet. The 3.35" width fits standard rack dimensions when properly mounted.
What management capabilities does the included PowerChute software provide?
PowerChute Serial Edition enables automatic graceful shutdown of connected servers and equipment via USB or serial connection during extended outages. It provides runtime monitoring, battery status alerts, and event logging to protect data and prevent hardware damage.
How do I extend the backup runtime beyond the 4-minute base capacity?
You can add up to 10 external battery packs (model SRT96RMBP) to significantly extend runtime. These connect to the UPS's external battery port and are managed as part of the system, providing flexibility to match your specific runtime requirements without replacing the main unit.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
The listed power specification is 3 kVA, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
How many outlets are available?
The product includes 3, which helps buyers understand how many connected devices it can support in its intended deployment.
