APC Smart-UPS SRT 3000VA LCD 120V Rack/Tower Uninterruptible Power Supply

Overview

The APC SRT3000XLA is an uninterruptible power supply designed to provide reliable, continuous power for critical equipment such as servers, network switches, laboratory instruments, and point-of-sale systems. Delivering 3 kVA and 2700 W of pure sine-wave output at a steady 120 V, it ensures connected devices remain protected and operational during power interruptions. Its double-conversion online topology continuously regenerates incoming power, isolating equipment from voltage spikes, sags, and frequency variations to maintain data integrity and extend hardware life.

Key features

• Double-conversion online architecture that delivers clean, consistent power without transfer time, ideal for sensitive electronics.
• Eight standard NEMA 5-20R outlets plus one NEMA L5-30R outlet to support a range of equipment with different power requirements.
• Hot-swappable battery modules allow battery replacement without shutting down connected devices, minimizing downtime.
• Expandable runtime through optional external battery packs, providing flexibility for longer power backup needs.
• Front LCD panel clearly displays input voltage, load level, runtime, and alarm notifications for easy monitoring and management.
• SmartSlot expansion slot supports network management cards, enabling remote monitoring and control via EcoStruxure IT software.
• Eco mode operation increases efficiency up to 97 percent, reducing energy consumption and heat output in dense rack or office environments.
• Versatile installation options allow use in either rack or tower orientation to fit various workspace configurations.
• Comes with a three-year warranty on the UPS and a two-year warranty on the batteries, ensuring long-term reliability.
