Product Features
Technical Overview
This SmartOnline UPS operates on a double-conversion online topology, continuously converting incoming AC power to DC and then back to clean AC output. The 192 V DC battery system comprises four valve-regulated lead-acid batteries that are hot-swappable and user-replaceable, supporting maintenance without system downtime.
Front-panel controls include an LCD display with page navigation buttons and four status LEDs for AC input, AC output, battery mode, and fault conditions. The display panel rotates for optimal viewing in either rack or tower orientation, providing detailed monitoring and configuration access directly from the unit.
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.

FAQ
What is the power capacity of the SU5KRT3UTF UPS?
The Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartOnline SU5KRT3UTF delivers 5 kVA (5000 VA) and 5 kW (5000 watts) of continuous power capacity. With a unity power factor of 1.0, the VA and wattage ratings are equal, allowing the UPS to safely support more connected equipment per kVA compared to units with lower power factors.
How long does this UPS provide backup power at full load?
At full 5 kW load, the SU5KRT3UTF provides approximately 5 minutes of battery runtime. At half load (2.5 kW), runtime extends to approximately 14 minutes. These runtime figures are based on the four valve-regulated lead-acid batteries installed in the unit, which are hot-swappable for maintenance without downtime.
What input voltage does this UPS require?
This UPS requires 230 V AC input voltage at 60 Hz frequency. The unit includes a step-down transformer that converts 208V input to 120V output, making it compatible with standard North American low-voltage equipment while accepting higher input voltages commonly found in commercial and data center environments.
Can this UPS be installed in both rack and tower configurations?
Yes, the SU5KRT3UTF is designed for both rack and tower deployment. As a 3U form factor unit, it occupies three rack units (8.74 inches) in standard 19-inch racks, but can also operate as a standalone tower. The front-panel LCD display rotates for optimal viewing in either orientation, and rack-mounting hardware is included.
What network management capabilities does this UPS include?
The SU5KRT3UTF comes with a pre-installed WEBCARDLXMINI network management card that supports SNMP, Telnet, and SSH protocols for remote monitoring and control. The card includes Auto Probe feature for enhanced network discovery, and the UPS also provides USB (HID compliant) and serial ports for local management connections.
What type of power output does this UPS provide?
This double-conversion online UPS provides pure sine wave output, which is essential for compatibility with sensitive electronics and active power factor correction (PFC) power supplies found in modern servers, networking equipment, and telecommunications gear. The pure sine wave ensures clean, stable power that won't cause compatibility issues or equipment damage.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
The listed power specification is 5 kVA, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 230 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
