Product Features
Technical Overview
This double conversion online UPS continuously conditions incoming power, providing isolation from grid anomalies. It accepts 208V AC input at 65 Hz and delivers regulated 120V or 208V AC output at 60 Hz. The unit's 12 kVA capacity supports substantial critical loads, with runtime extending to over 17 minutes at half load.
Thermal management is handled via 4995 BTU/h dissipation, and the unit operates in environments up to 104°F (40°C). The SNMP management capability, facilitated by an included Web/SNMP management card, allows for integration into network monitoring systems. The battery system uses lead-acid chemistry and is designed for safety and longevity.

FAQ
What is the power capacity of this APC Symmetra LX UPS?
This UPS has a load capacity of 12 kVA. This rating indicates the maximum apparent power the unit can support, making it suitable for protecting substantial IT loads like server racks or network equipment clusters in a commercial or data center environment.
How long will this UPS run on battery at full load?
At its full 12 kVA load, the battery runtime is 6 minutes. This provides a critical window for initiating graceful shutdown procedures of connected equipment or for a backup generator to start and stabilize. At a reduced half load, the runtime extends to 17.10 minutes.
What type of power connection does this UPS use?
This unit uses a hard-wired 4-wire connection, specifically a 2PH+N+G (two-phase plus neutral and ground) receptacle. It is designed for permanent installation onto a 208V AC circuit, which is common in three-phase commercial power distribution systems, rather than using standard plug-and-play outlets.
Can this UPS be managed remotely over a network?
Yes, the UPS is SNMP manageable. It includes a Web/SNMP management card, allowing IT administrators to monitor its status, view runtime estimates, receive alerts, and perform controls remotely through standard network management software, integrating seamlessly into existing IT infrastructure monitoring.
