Overview
Tripp Lite SU5000RT4UTF 5000VA / 5kVA / 4500 watt on-line, double-conversion UPS system offers complete power protection for critical server, network and telecommunications equipment in a 6U rack/tower configuration. Full-time active power conditioning provides clean, continuous dual-conversion AC output free of voltage fluctuations, power interruptions and line noise. Fault-tolerant auto-bypass prevents unexpected service interruptions during UPS overload or internal fault conditions. 4U UPS power module with internal batteries and 2U step-down transformer installs in a total of 6 rack spaces (6U) with a maximum installed depth of only 20.75 in. / 52.7 cm. Maintains full-time sine wave output within 2% of 208 and 120V nominal at 60Hz during brownouts as low 100V and overvoltages as high as 300V. Expandable runtime is supported with optional BP192V12-3U external battery packs. Battery independent restart ensures automatic UPS power-up without user interaction after lengthy power outages, even when batteries are expired and require replacement. Double-conversion operation converts raw input from AC to DC, then resynthesizes output power back to perfect sine wave AC with enhanced protection from harmonic distortion, fast electrical impulses and other hard-to-solve power problems not addressed by other UPS types. Highly efficient operation in optional economy mode significantly reduces BTU heat output and operating energy costs. Network-grade AC surge and noise suppression. Supports detailed monitoring of equipment load levels, self-test data and utility power conditions via built-in RS-232 and USB interfaces. Optional communications card accessories available. HID-compliant USB interface enables integration with built-in power management and auto shutdown features of Windows and Mac OS X. PowerAlert monitoring software, available via free download, offers detailed site power and UPS updates with support for safe auto-shutdown of connected systems as UPS batteries become depleted. Supports Emergency Power Off (EPO) via built-in interface. Front panel LEDs and LCD readout with scroll controls support front-panel visual monitoring of all major UPS functions with support for a variety of control options to support advanced UPS settings and configurations. LED / LCD display panel rotates for viewing in rackmount or tower configurations. L6-30P input, plus 2 L6-30R, 2 L6-20R and 12 5-15/20R outlets. External battery packs are field replaceable and hot swappable. $250,000 connected equipment insurance;
