UPS APC Smart-UPS On-Line 3kVA Tower 208V/230V 8 Outlets

The APC Smart-UPS On-Line 3kVA Tower 208V/230V 8 Outlets is an on-line double-conversion UPS designed to provide continuous, high-quality AC power to critical IT and network equipment. With 3 kVA / 2700 W output power capacity and a sealed lead-acid battery with 505 VAh capacity, this tower UPS supplies pure sine wave power and extended runtime to support servers, storage and network devices during power disturbances. The unit is supplied in black and includes multiple input and outlet types to fit diverse deployment environments and can be monitored and managed via local interfaces or network management options.

Advantages

The double-conversion topology ensures consistent voltage and frequency regulation with no transfer time, protecting sensitive electronics from sags, surges and frequency variations. Unity power factor delivers maximum usable power from the 3 kVA rating. Integrated energy metering and an intuitive LCD provide clear operational visibility, while predictive battery management and a replaceable sealed lead-acid battery simplify maintenance planning. Two switchable outlet groups allow selective load shedding to prioritize critical loads and extend runtime for essential equipment.

Suitable for

• Small and medium server racks and tower servers

How to use

Install the UPS on a stable surface in a ventilated environment or fit optional rail kits if rack mounting is required. Connect the input to a compatible mains source using the appropriate inlet type and plug connectors included for your region. Plug critical equipment into the IEC C13 and C19 outlets according to power requirements and distribute noncritical loads to the switchable outlet groups as needed. Use the front-panel LCD to view status and configure basic settings. Install PowerChute Business software or insert an optional network management card into the SmartSlot to enable remote monitoring, automatic graceful shutdown, and centralized management via EcoStruxure IT or third-party platforms.

Usage recommendations

Place the UPS in a temperature-controlled environment within the manufacturer's recommended operating range, avoid obstructing ventilation, and follow scheduled battery tests and replacement intervals indicated by predictive battery management. Configure switchable outlet groups to shed noncritical loads during extended outages and enable network management for automated graceful shutdown of servers and virtualized systems to protect data integrity.
