Vertiv GXT5-6000MVRT4UXLN 6kVA/6kW Online Double-Conversion Rack/Tower UPS

The Vertiv GXT5-6000MVRT4UXLN is a 6,000 VA / 6,000 W online double-conversion UPS built for datacenter racks, server rooms, and security infrastructure where transfer time on power loss must be zero. Unlike line-interactive designs that switch to battery on failure, this unit keeps load power continuously sourced through its inverter — the AC input feeds the rectifier and battery simultaneously, so there is no switching delay when utility power drops.

Key Features

• Zero-transfer-time double conversion: The GXT5 topology keeps its inverter online at all times. When input power fails, the load never sees a break — critical for servers, NVRs, and storage arrays that cannot tolerate even a 10 ms gap.
• Up to 98% efficiency in Active ECO Mode: At 6 kW continuous load, moving from a typical 94% efficient UPS to 98% ECO mode recovers roughly 240 W of wasted heat per hour. Over a year of 24/7 operation that is more than 2,100 kWh saved — meaningful on any datacenter power bill.
• Up to 95% efficiency in standard on-line mode: Even without ECO mode, 95% on-line efficiency keeps thermal load lower than many comparable units, reducing cooling demand in tight rack enclosures.
• Wide 176–280 VAC input range: The broad input tolerance accepts generator output sag, brownout conditions, and international supply variance without switching to battery — extending battery run time for genuine outages.
• 208/120 VAC user-configurable output: Output voltage can be set in the field to match load requirements, eliminating the need for step-down transformers in mixed-voltage environments.
• Factory pre-installed Vertiv RDU101 SNMP/Web card: SNMP and web management are active out of the box — no additional card purchase or slot required. Supports remote monitoring, alerting, and graceful shutdown scripting via standard NMS platforms.
• Flexible rack/tower form factor: Ships ready for either orientation. The gravity-sensing full-color LCD panel auto-orients its display to match rack or tower installation — no menu navigation needed after repositioning.
• Hardwired input and output: The GXT5-6000MVRT4UXLN uses hardwired connections on both the input and output sides. Plan for a licensed electrician during installation. Optional Power Distribution (POD) modules are available separately for receptacle-based load connections.
• Multiple communication interfaces: Beyond SNMP/web, the unit includes USB, RS485, RS232, terminal block, and an external battery connector — covering both modern IP management and legacy serial out-of-band access for Vertiv-managed environments.
• ENERGY STAR 2.0 certified: Meets ENERGY STAR UPS Version 2.0 efficiency thresholds, supporting datacenter sustainability reporting and qualifying for utility rebate programs in many regions.

Integration & Compatibility

The GXT5-6000MVRT4UXLN operates on a typical input of 208 VAC within a range of 176–280 VAC, making it compatible with standard North American 208 V single-phase circuits as well as generator and conditioned power sources. The factory-installed RDU101 card integrates with SNMP-based network management systems and provides a local web interface for configuration without requiring a separate management server. RS485 and RS232 serial ports support out-of-band management and connection to building management systems. The external battery connector enables runtime extension with compatible external battery modules — refer to Vertiv documentation for supported EBM models. The unit carries UL1778 and c-UL listings, RoHS2, and REACH compliance, meeting typical datacenter and commercial installation requirements across North America.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this UPS include an SNMP card, or is that a separate purchase?

A: The Vertiv RDU101 SNMP/Web card is factory pre-installed. SNMP and web-based management are active out of the box with no additional card or accessory required.

Q: What input voltage does the GXT5-6000MVRT4UXLN require?

A: The typical input is 208 VAC. The unit accepts a range of 176–280 VAC, providing tolerance for brownout conditions and generator power without switching to battery.

Q: Can this UPS be installed in either a rack or tower configuration?

A: Yes. The GXT5 ships with a flexible rack/tower form factor. The full-color LCD panel uses gravity sensing to auto-orient its display based on installation orientation.

Q: Does the unit use standard power outlets, or does it require hardwired installation?

A: Both input and output are hardwired — a licensed electrician is required for installation. Optional POD (Power Output Distribution) modules are available to add receptacle-based connections for load equipment.

Q: What is the difference between Active ECO Mode and on-line mode efficiency?

A: In Active ECO Mode the unit routes power primarily through a bypass path with the inverter on standby, reaching up to 98% efficiency. In standard on-line (double-conversion) mode the inverter is always in the power path, reaching up to 95% efficiency. On-line mode provides zero transfer time; ECO mode trades a small transfer window for lower energy consumption.

Q: Can runtime be extended beyond the internal battery?

A: Yes. The GXT5-6000MVRT4UXLN includes an external battery connector for compatible Vertiv external battery modules. Supported EBM configurations are listed in Vertiv product documentation.
