Its heavy-duty lead-acid battery system provides stable backup with fast 3-hour recharge, making it ideal for critical IT environments.

Key Features & Benefits

  • 2880VA / 2700W Power Capacity: Supports high-demand servers and network hardware with reliable backup.
  • Pure Sine Wave Output: Delivers clean, consistent power for sensitive IT equipment.
  • Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): Corrects voltage fluctuations without using battery reserves.
  • SmartConnect Port: Enables remote monitoring and management via cloud interface.
  • Multi-Function LCD: Provides clear visibility into system status, load levels, and runtime.
  • Comprehensive Connectivity: 8 NEMA 5-15R + 2 NEMA 5-20R outlets for flexible deployment.
  • ENERGY STAR® Certified: Meets energy efficiency standards, reducing operating costs.

Technical Deep Dive

The SMT3000C employs line-interactive topology, a proven architecture that stabilizes power using AVR. This allows it to correct under- and over-voltage conditions seamlessly, minimizing unnecessary battery use and extending overall service life. The result is reliable uptime even during fluctuating utility power.

Equipped with a pure sine wave inverter, the UPS maintains superior power quality for sensitive loads such as enterprise servers, storage arrays, and VoIP systems. Unlike simulated sine wave systems, it ensures compatibility with advanced active PFC power supplies.

For management, the integrated SmartConnect Ethernet port offers secure, cloud-based monitoring with real-time alerts and reporting. Combined with the intuitive LCD control panel, administrators can quickly access operational data locally or remotely, ensuring full visibility of performance metrics and runtime status.

Ideal Applications

  • Enterprise servers, storage, and data center environments
  • Network closets supporting critical IT infrastructure
  • Healthcare facilities requiring stable and clean power delivery
  • Finance and retail branches with mission-critical transaction systems
  • Professional offices running VoIP and communication equipment
