APC by Schneider Electric SRT3000RMXLI-NC Online Rackmount UPS 3000VA 230V
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric SRT3000RMXLI-NC is a 3000VA / 2700W online double-conversion uninterruptible power supply built for 2U rackmount deployment in server rooms, network closets, and commercial security infrastructure. The SRT3000RMXLI-NC sits in the Smart-UPS On-Line family — APC's true online tier — meaning connected equipment runs on clean, inverter-generated power at all times, not switched to battery only during an outage. For environments where voltage instability, brownouts, or even microsecond interruptions are unacceptable, that architecture is the correct starting point. Explore the full APC by Schneider Electric UPS lineup to compare models across capacity tiers.
Key Features
- 3000VA / 2700W True Online Double-Conversion: The SRT3000RMXLI-NC runs its load off the inverter continuously, with the utility feed charging the battery in parallel. There is no transfer switching — zero millisecond transfer time — which matters for sensitive network switching, VoIP infrastructure, and IP security recorders where even a 6ms gap can trigger a reboot cycle.
- 10 Outlets — 8x IEC C13 + 2x IEC C19: The outlet mix is deliberate. C13 covers standard server PSUs, switches, and IP cameras; the two C19 positions handle higher-draw PDUs and servers with locking C20 inlets. Ten protected ports is practical for a densely populated 2U shelf without a separate PDU.
- 230V Input and Output: Matched at 230V on both sides, this unit is configured for international and European grid infrastructure. Verify your facility's mains standard before ordering — this is not a dual-voltage model.
- 96V Lead-Acid Battery Architecture: The 96V nominal battery string is standard for this Smart-UPS On-Line capacity tier. Lead-acid provides predictable discharge curves and straightforward replacement logistics. Runtime depends on actual load — at 2700W full load it will be short; real deployments running 40–60% load (1,080–1,620W) extend runtime meaningfully. Size your load accordingly if runtime is a priority.
- 2U Rackmount, 2.4m Input Cable: Two rack units is the standard footprint for 3kVA online UPS hardware in this class. The 2.4m input cable gives reasonable reach from a rack-mounted unit to a floor-mounted PDU or wall outlet without an extension. Plan cable management before installation.
