Product Features
Technical Overview
This double conversion online UPS converts incoming AC power to DC and then back to clean AC power, providing complete isolation from utility power issues. The 98% efficiency in ECO mode reduces energy consumption and operating costs while maintaining protection.
The unit delivers 5 kVA/4.5 kW of power capacity with a 0.9 output power factor. Input voltage is fixed at 230V AC with 23.30A current, while output voltage supports a wide range from 100V to 240V AC at both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies. The pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with sensitive electronic equipment.
This section brings together practical product details such as AVR, Plug/Connector Type, Receptacle Type, 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.
