APC by Schneider Electric SUA500PDRI-H DIN Rail Panel Mount UPS with High Temp Battery

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric SUA500PDRI-H is a 500VA / 325W DIN rail and panel-mount uninterruptible power supply engineered for industrial control cabinets, surveillance infrastructure, and automation panels where a standard tower or rack UPS simply won't fit. Unlike conventional UPS units that occupy rack space or floor area, the SUA500PDRI-H clips directly onto standard DIN rails inside an enclosure — keeping your critical 24/7 loads protected without adding a separate cabinet or eating into valuable rack real estate. It ships ready for hardwire installation, making it a natural fit for fixed industrial and commercial deployments where plug-in convenience is not the priority but power continuity absolutely is.

If you are speccing power protection for network video recorders, industrial switches, access control panels, or other always-on security infrastructure — particularly in environments with wide input voltage swings or elevated ambient temperatures — this unit deserves a close look. The SUA500PDRI-H (often searched as SUA500PDRI H) sits in the UPS and power protection category alongside APC's broader industrial and commercial lineup.

Key Features

• 500VA / 325W Output Capacity: Sized to carry a typical NVR, managed PoE switch, or PLC through a power event without shutdown. At 325W true power output, it handles most single-device or small-cluster loads that draw under 65% of rated capacity — leaving headroom so the UPS isn't operating at its thermal ceiling during extended outages.
• Wide Input Voltage Window (151V–302V AC): A 151V lower threshold and 302V upper threshold mean the unit rides through the voltage sags, swells, and brownouts common on industrial plant feeds and international 230V grids without switching to battery unnecessarily. Fewer battery events = longer battery service life.
• Hardwire Output with 3 AC Outlets: All three outlets are hardwired — no NEMA sockets, no plug-in tails. That is the right approach for panel-mount installations where vibration or accidental disconnection of a plug would be a failure mode. Wire it once; it stays connected.
• 8-Minute Full-Load / 24-Minute Half-Load Runtime: At full 325W draw you get roughly 8 minutes of ride-through — enough time for a controlled shutdown sequence or for a generator to come online. Run your load at half capacity (162W or less) and that extends to approximately 24 minutes. Size your load accordingly during design.
• 2-Hour Battery Recharge: After a full discharge, the sealed lead-acid battery returns to full charge in approximately 2 hours. On sites with frequent short outages — utility switching, generator tests — this fast recharge cycle ensures the UPS is ready for the next event before it arrives.
• Sealed Lead Acid (VRLA) Battery, Single Cell: VRLA chemistry is maintenance-free and spill-proof, which matters inside a sealed enclosure. No venting requirements, no electrolyte checks. The single battery configuration keeps the unit compact enough for DIN rail mounting while still delivering the rated runtime figures.
