Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on double-conversion online technology, the SU5000RTMB continuously conditions incoming AC power to DC, then back to clean, stable AC output, providing complete isolation from utility power anomalies. This topology ensures zero transfer time to battery during outages, eliminating any interruption to connected equipment. The unit delivers a pure sine wave output compatible with sensitive electronics, including active PFC power supplies found in modern servers and networking gear.
Electrical performance includes a 230V AC input with 23.30A current rating, while output supports multiple voltage settings (200-240V AC) and both 50/60Hz frequencies for global flexibility. The integrated AVR corrects undervoltage and overvoltage conditions without draining the batteries, extending runtime and battery life. A built-in bypass switch allows for maintenance or overload conditions while keeping loads powered.
Key Product Advantages
The SU5000RTMB provides enterprise-grade reliability through features like hot-swappable batteries that can be replaced without shutting down connected equipment, and user-replaceable battery modules that simplify maintenance.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the power capacity of the SU5000RTMB UPS?
The Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartOnline SU5000RTMB provides 5000VA (5 kVA) apparent power and 4500W (4.50 kW) real power capacity. This substantial capacity can support multiple servers, network equipment, storage systems, or other critical loads in a rack or tower deployment, making it suitable for small to medium server rooms, network closets, and commercial installations requiring robust power protection.
How long does the battery backup last during a power outage?
At full load (4500W), the UPS provides approximately 3 minutes of runtime, allowing sufficient time for orderly system shutdown or generator start-up. At half load (2250W), runtime extends to approximately 11 minutes. These runtimes are designed to bridge short outages or provide adequate time for backup systems to engage, with actual duration varying based on connected load, battery age, and environmental conditions.
What type of power output does this UPS provide?
The SU5000RTMB delivers pure sine wave output, which is essential for compatibility with modern electronic equipment, particularly devices with active power factor correction (PFC) power supplies found in servers, networking gear, and sensitive medical or laboratory equipment. Pure sine wave power ensures optimal performance and prevents potential damage or shutdowns that can occur with simulated sine wave outputs from lower-end UPS models.
Can this UPS be mounted in a standard equipment rack?
Yes, the SU5000RTMB is designed for 3U rack mounting in standard 19-inch equipment racks, with all necessary mounting hardware included. The unit measures 5.10" in height (3U), 17.30" in width, and 34" in depth. For installations without rack space, the package includes tower support stands that allow the UPS to operate as a freestanding unit, providing deployment flexibility for various environments.
What management and monitoring options are available?
The UPS includes comprehensive management capabilities through an included WEBCARDLXE network card that supports SNMP, web interface, and network shutdown protocols. Local interfaces include a front-panel LCD display for status monitoring, USB and DB-9 RS-232 serial ports for direct computer connection, and dry contact relays for integration with building management systems. These options provide flexible monitoring and control for both local and remote management scenarios.
What type of batteries does this UPS use and are they replaceable?
The SU5000RTMB utilizes valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries with a 180V DC system voltage. The batteries are hot-swappable and user-replaceable, meaning they can be exchanged without powering down connected equipment. This design minimizes downtime during maintenance and allows for battery replacement without service calls, reducing total cost of ownership over the UPS lifecycle while maintaining continuous protection for critical loads.
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.
