Panduit UVP480 External Battery Pack for SteadySine UPS Systems
Overview
The Panduit UVP480 is a 480V external battery pack engineered under the Panduit SteadySine product line to extend runtime on compatible three-phase UPS units. If your facility runs U10N32V, U15N32V, or U20N32V UPS systems and your current runtime is insufficient for extended outages or maintenance windows, the UVP480 is the purpose-built expansion module — not a workaround, not a third-party add-on. At 17.3 inches wide and 6.88 inches tall, it integrates cleanly into standard equipment racks or battery cabinets alongside the parent UPS.
This unit ships as a single power distribution package (Package Quantity: 1), so procurement is straightforward for both single-site deployments and phased capacity builds. The SteadySine branding signals that Panduit designed this battery pack specifically for the sine-wave output UPS family — compatibility is not assumed, it is explicit.
Key Features
- 480V Design Voltage: Matched to the high-voltage bus architecture of the SteadySine three-phase UPS family. Attempting to substitute a lower-voltage pack would require voltage conversion hardware and would likely void UPS support terms — this pack eliminates that risk entirely.
- Explicit UPS Compatibility: Verified for use with U10N32V (10kVA), U15N32V (15kVA), and U20N32V (20kVA) SteadySine UPS units. If you're running one of those three models, the UVP480 is the correct runtime extension — no cross-referencing required.
- Rack-Optimized Form Factor: At 440mm (17.3 in) wide and 175mm (6.88 in) tall, the UVP480 fits standard 19-inch rack enclosures. That 6.88-inch height equates to roughly 4U, so plan your rack space accordingly before ordering multiple units.
- SteadySine Sub-Brand Alignment: The SteadySine designation indicates pure sine-wave UPS output, which matters when protecting managed network switches, servers, and variable-speed drive equipment that can be damaged or disrupted by stepped approximation waveforms.
- Single-Unit Packaging: Package Quantity of 1 means lead times and inventory management are predictable. For large deployments requiring multiple packs per UPS, order quantities stack cleanly without partial-pack waste.
- Competitor Cross-Reference: The UVP480 cross-references against SRT192BP2, which can be useful when converting an existing APC-equipped site to Panduit SteadySine infrastructure and reconciling legacy part numbers in your CMDB or procurement system.
Integration and Compatibility
The UVP480 is designed exclusively for the Panduit SteadySine three-phase UPS series. Confirmed compatible models are U10N32V, U15N32V, and U20N32V. Do not assume compatibility with other Panduit UPS families outside the SteadySine line — verify the parent UPS model before ordering. For UPS accessories outside this specific battery pack, consult the broader SteadySine accessory catalog to ensure matched battery string voltage and capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which UPS models is the UVP480 compatible with?
A: The UVP480 is verified for use with Panduit SteadySine UPS models U10N32V, U15N32V, and U20N32V. It is not confirmed for use with UPS units outside this family.
Q: What is the voltage rating of the UVP480?
A: The UVP480 operates at 480V, matched to the high-voltage bus architecture of the compatible SteadySine UPS units.
Q: Will the UVP480 fit in a standard 19-inch rack?
A: Yes. At 440mm (17.3 in) wide and 175mm (6.88 in) tall, the UVP480 fits standard 19-inch rack enclosures. The approximately 4U height should be accounted for in rack space planning.
Q: What part number does the UVP480 cross-reference against?
A: The UVP480 cross-references against SRT192BP2, which can assist with procurement comparisons or CMDB migration from legacy APC infrastructure.
Q: How many units are included per order?
A: Each order of the UVP480 includes one battery pack (Package Quantity: 1). Multiple units may be ordered for installations requiring additional runtime capacity.
The UVP480 is a purpose-matched runtime extension — Panduit built this pack specifically for the SteadySine 480V three-phase UPS family, and that specificity is the whole value proposition. When you're sizing backup power for a 10–20kVA three-phase load (the U10N32V through U20N32V range), the last thing you want is a battery string that requires an adapter or voltage step-down to integrate. The UVP480 plugs directly into that architecture without conversion hardware.
Technical Highlights:
- 480V Bus Matching: Designed for the same voltage rail as the U10N32V, U15N32V, and U20N32V — no conversion required, no additional components between the pack and the UPS inverter.
- Rack Form Factor (175mm H × 440mm W): The 6.88-inch height fits standard 19-inch rack bays at roughly 4U per pack — stack multiple units in the same rack column as the parent UPS to keep the battery string physically consolidated.
- SRT192BP2 Cross-Reference: Useful for sites migrating from APC three-phase infrastructure — the UVP480 maps to SRT192BP2, so legacy part numbers in procurement or CMDB systems can be reconciled without manual spec comparison.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your parent UPS is one of the three verified models (U10N32V, U15N32V, U20N32V) before ordering — the UVP480 is not a universal Panduit battery pack and compatibility outside this family is not established by the available evidence.
- At 4U per pack, multi-pack runtime builds consume rack space quickly — map your cabinet layout before ordering multiple UVP480 units to avoid a mid-project rack reorganization.
The UVP480 is the right call for data centers, industrial control rooms, and critical infrastructure sites already running Panduit SteadySine three-phase UPS systems that need extended hold time beyond the internal battery — particularly in environments where planned maintenance windows exceed what the base unit alone can cover.
