FAQ
What is the power capacity of this UPS?
The Tripp Lite SmartOnline SU5KRT3UX provides 5 kVA (5000 VA) and 5 kW of power capacity. This unity power factor design means the VA and wattage ratings are equal, allowing the UPS to safely support more equipment than traditional units with lower power factors. The 5kW capacity makes it suitable for protecting server racks, networking equipment, and other critical infrastructure.
How long will this UPS run on battery power?
At full 5kW load, the UPS provides approximately 5 minutes of runtime. At half load (2.5kW), runtime extends to approximately 14 minutes. These runtimes are based on the internal battery system, and optional external battery packs are available to extend backup time for applications requiring longer runtime during power outages.
What type of power output does this UPS provide?
This UPS delivers pure sine wave output power, which is essential for sensitive electronic equipment like servers, networking gear, and medical devices.
