Overview
Features
- Tripp Lite SU60000RT3U 6kVA / 6,000VA / 4200 watt on-line, double-conversion UPS system in 9U total rack/tower configuration (3U UPS power module, 3U external battery pack and 3U step-down transformer)
- Included step-down transformer with manual bypass switch enables hot-swappable UPS power module replacement with no interruption in output power to connected networking equipment
- Fault tolerant electronic bypass maintains utility output during a variety of UPS fault conditions
- Hardwire input and output connections
- Full-time active power conditioning provides clean, continuous dual-conversion AC output free of voltage fluctuations, power interruptions and line noise
- Double-conversion operation converts raw input from AC to DC, then re-synthesizes 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
- Accepts input voltages between 156 and 276, regulating output within 2% of selectable 208/240 and 120V AC output
- Standard included 3U battery pack provides 20 minutes runtime at half load (3000VA) and 8 minutes at full load (6000VA)
- Expandable runtime is supported with optional BP240V10RT3U; BP240V787C-1PH external battery packs
- Intelligent battery management system extends battery life
- Highly efficient operation in optional economy mode significantly reduces BTU heat output and operating energy costs
- Serial port enables data-saving unattended shutdown when used with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert software, available via FREE download from tripplite.eaton.com/products/power-alert
- Supports detailed monitoring of equipment load levels, self-test data and utility power conditions via built-in RS-232 interfaces
- Optional network management and contact-closure communications card accessories available.
- Compatible with Tripp Lite UPS management card options TLNETCARD, WEBCARDLX, SNMPWEBCARD, MODBUSCARD and RELAYIOCARD
- Supports Emergency Power Off (EPO) via built-in interface
- Included rail kit supports 9U 19 inch rackmount installation in 4 post racks
- Optional 2POSTRMKITHD supports installation in 2 post 19 inch racks
- Front panel LED's and LCD readout with scroll controls and supports visual monitoring of all major UPS functions and advanced UPS settings for nominal voltage selection, economy mode, and other operational parameters
- LED / LCD display panel rotates for viewing in rackmount or tower configurations
- Network-grade AC surge and noise suppression
