Uninterruptible power supply Schneider Electric APC SRV1KIL-E 1 kVA 900 W sine output C14 VRLA 36 V IP20

Schneider Electric APC SRV1KIL-E is a 1 kVA (900 W) uninterruptible power supply designed to deliver a true sine-wave output for reliable operation of servers, network equipment and sensitive electronics. The unit uses sealed lead-acid (VRLA) batteries with a nominal battery voltage of 36 V and supports a full recharge cycle in approximately 4.5 hours. With a C14 output coupler, IP20 protection rating and compact black housing (290 × 400 × 238 mm), this UPS is intended for use in server rooms, small data closets and office environments where stable power and clean waveform output are required.

Advantages

The APC SRV1KIL-E provides a sine-wave output that reduces the risk of compatibility issues with active power supplies and sensitive equipment. Its sealed VRLA battery design requires minimal maintenance while delivering predictable runtime for short-term outages. The compact footprint and 36 V battery topology allow straightforward placement near racks and workstations, and the IP20 enclosure offers basic protection in indoor technical environments. The device’s 900 W output rating supports a mix of servers and networking devices without exceeding typical small‑room power budgets.

Suitable for

• Small server rooms and rack-mounted network equipment
• Workstations running critical applications or storage devices
• Network closets, switches and routers requiring clean power
• Short-term backup for point-of-sale terminals and small office systems

How to use

Place the UPS on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated indoor location away from direct heat sources and moisture. Connect the APC SRV1KIL-E to mains power and allow the battery to fully charge (approximately 4.5 hours) before relying on it for backup. Plug protected devices into the C14 output coupler using compatible power cords. Configure any connected equipment and monitoring software according to manufacturer guidelines to enable orderly shutdown or alerts during extended outages. Observe standard safety precautions when handling VRLA batteries; avoid short circuits and follow local disposal regulations for battery replacement.

Usage recommendations

For predictable runtime planning, test the UPS under typical load conditions and maintain a regular charging cycle. Keep the unit in a controlled indoor environment (IP20) and replace the VRLA battery according to operational hours and manufacturer service intervals to ensure continued protection of connected equipment.
