• Supporting industrial control systems and automation equipment against power disturbances.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 1000VA to 3000VA, with the RT2000 model indicating a 2000VA capacity.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a single-phase 230V input, suitable for standard UK industrial and commercial power.

Form factor

Commonly, these UPS units are designed for rack-mounting, often occupying 2U of rack space.

Output waveform

High-quality UPS systems like this typically provide pure sine wave output, essential for sensitive electronics and active PFC power supplies.

Topology

For critical applications, double-conversion online topology is standard, offering continuous power conditioning.

Runtime

Battery runtime for units of this capacity is typically short under full load, often in the range of 3-10 minutes, designed to bridge short outages or allow for graceful shutdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does 'double-conversion online' mean for a UPS?

  Double-conversion online UPS systems provide the highest level of power protection. They continuously convert incoming AC power to DC to charge batteries, then back to AC for output, isolating connected equipment from all input power problems.

• Is this UPS suitable for active PFC power supplies?

• What is the typical maintenance requirement for a used UPS?

• Can this unit be used as a standalone power source?

• What is the significance of the '2U form factor'?
