Vertiv ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN 30kVA 400V 3-Phase Online Double-Conversion UPS Bundle

Overview

The Vertiv Liebert ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN is a 30kVA/30kW three-phase, online double-conversion UPS bundle configured in a 2+0 parallel capacity arrangement — meaning both units share the load simultaneously rather than one standing by idle. Designed for data centers, server rooms, and critical network infrastructure requiring clean, regulated power at 400VAC (240VAC) three-phase four-wire, this rack/tower convertible unit protects sensitive compute and networking loads against every major power anomaly: sags, surges, harmonics, and complete outages. If you're sizing power protection for a mid-tier data hall or a dense compute rack environment running three-phase distribution, this is the class of UPS to evaluate. Explore the full Vertiv power protection line for complementary infrastructure components.

Key Features

• True Online Double Conversion: Unlike line-interactive or standby designs, the ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN continuously converts incoming AC to DC and back to AC — meaning your load never runs off raw utility power. Every connected server or switch sees a clean, stable sine wave regardless of what's happening upstream. Transfer time to battery is zero: there is no switching event.
• Unity Power Factor (1.0): A 1.0 power factor means the full 30kVA nameplate rating translates directly to 30kW of real load capacity. Older UPS designs with 0.8 PF would deliver only 24kW from a 30kVA frame. For a dense virtualization cluster or a high-density GPU compute rack, that 6kW difference is the margin between adequate and undersized protection.
• 99% Efficiency in Eco Mode: In double-conversion mode, efficiency exceeds 93%. Switch to eco mode and efficiency reaches 99% — a meaningful operating cost reduction in 24/7 environments. For a data center running continuous full load, the delta between 93% and 99% efficiency translates directly to reduced heat output and lower utility bills across the asset's lifecycle.
• 2+0 Parallel Capacity Configuration: Both UPS units in this bundle operate in parallel, sharing the 30kVA load across two frames. This architecture provides N+0 capacity without a single point of failure at the UPS level — if one unit requires maintenance, the configuration supports an optional maintenance bypass cabinet to keep load online. For environments requiring higher availability, this parallel foundation is also expandable.
• Hot-Swappable VRLA Batteries: The included valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery pairs are user-replaceable without dropping load — a critical operational advantage in environments where scheduled maintenance windows are narrow or non-existent. Battery replacement does not require a certified service visit if your team is comfortable with the procedure.
• SNMP / Unity Card Network Management: The included Unity Card enables SNMP-based monitoring and management, integrating with standard network management platforms and UPS management software. Manned and unmanned locations alike benefit from remote visibility into load levels, battery state of charge, and alarm conditions without requiring physical access to the equipment room.
• ENERGY STAR 2.0 Certified: ENERGY STAR 2.0 certification validates the efficiency claims above against a third-party standard — relevant if your organization reports on energy consumption metrics or is subject to sustainability mandates. It also signals the unit meets modern efficiency thresholds rather than legacy specifications.
• Rack/Tower Convertible Form Factor: Installs in a standard equipment rack or stands as a tower unit, giving you deployment flexibility whether you're placing it in an existing rack row or in a wiring closet without rack infrastructure. This matters during phased buildouts where final rack layout isn't finalized at initial installation.
• Scalable Battery Runtime: The VRLA battery configuration supports runtime extension through external battery cabinets (where supported by the platform), allowing runtime to be sized to organizational recovery time objectives rather than accepting a fixed runtime ceiling at purchase.
• Intuitive Control Panel: The local operator interface provides load percentage, battery status, and alarm information without requiring software access — useful during an incident when network management may itself be compromised or when physical inspection is faster than remote login.

Integration and Compatibility

The ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN is designed for environments running 400VAC (240VAC) three-phase four-wire distribution — standard in European and international data center installations as well as purpose-built North American three-phase compute deployments. SNMP support via the included Unity Card enables integration with enterprise NMS platforms including standard SNMP trap receivers. For facilities running managed network switches and server infrastructure on three-phase PDUs, this UPS slots into existing three-phase distribution architectures without requiring distribution panel modifications beyond appropriate breaker sizing. The optional maintenance bypass cabinet (sold separately) enhances availability by allowing the UPS to be fully isolated for service without interrupting connected loads — confirm compatibility with Vertiv for your specific cabinet configuration.

This bundle ships with two pairs of VRLA batteries included, providing runtime out of the box without a separate battery procurement step. Organizations deploying into regulated or sustainability-audited environments benefit from the ENERGY STAR 2.0 certification and the unit's documentation trail. The 2-year manufacturer warranty covers both UPS units and included battery pairs — confirm coverage terms with Vertiv for your specific deployment jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the 2+0 parallel configuration mean for this bundle?

A: In a 2+0 parallel setup, both UPS units share the connected load simultaneously rather than one operating and one standing by as a hot spare. This maximizes capacity utilization across both frames. It is a capacity-expansion architecture, not a redundancy architecture — if higher fault tolerance is required, a 2+1 configuration (with one additional unit as a spare) would be the next step up.

Q: What is the warranty on the ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN?

A: The Vertiv Liebert ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Contact Vertiv directly to confirm specific coverage terms for batteries and accessories in your region.

Q: Does the ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN support remote monitoring?

A: Yes. The bundle includes a Unity Card that enables SNMP-based network management, providing remote visibility into load levels, battery status, and alarm conditions. This integrates with standard enterprise NMS platforms that support SNMP traps and polling.

Q: Can the batteries be replaced without taking the load offline?

A: The ITA2 platform supports hot-swappable, user-replaceable batteries, meaning battery replacement can be performed without interrupting power to connected equipment — a significant operational advantage in environments with stringent uptime requirements.

Q: What input power does the ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN require?

A: The unit requires 400VAC (240VAC) three-phase four-wire input. Verify your facility's three-phase distribution panel can supply the appropriate breaker capacity before installation. This is not a single-phase UPS and requires three-phase infrastructure.

Q: Is the ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN ENERGY STAR certified?

A: Yes, the ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN carries ENERGY STAR 2.0 certification, which independently validates efficiency performance. This is relevant for organizations with sustainability reporting requirements or energy efficiency mandates.

James Everett

The ITA2-60KRT400V31UPN is one of those specifications that looks straightforward on paper — 30kVA, three-phase, parallel — but the detail that actually matters most in practice is the unity power factor. At 1.0 PF, you are getting 30kW of real usable capacity, not the 24kW you would get from an older 0.8 PF design in the same rack footprint. For a high-density compute deployment, that 6kW difference is the load headroom that determines whether you can add another chassis without repricing the entire UPS infrastructure.

Technical Highlights:

• 99% Eco-Mode Efficiency: The gap between 93% (double-conversion) and 99% (eco mode) is not trivial at data center scale. On a continuously loaded 30kW system running 8,760 hours per year, that 6% difference represents roughly 1,576 kWh annually — real money on the utility bill and real heat load reduction in the rack row.
• True Online Double Conversion: Zero transfer time to battery means no switching transient ever reaches the load. For virtualization hosts running latency-sensitive workloads or storage arrays with write-cache integrity requirements, this is the correct UPS topology — line-interactive designs with even a 2–4ms transfer window introduce risk that is simply not present here.
• Hot-Swap VRLA Batteries with SNMP Visibility: The Unity Card delivers SNMP trap-based alerting so your NMS platform flags a degraded battery string before it becomes a runtime shortfall. Combined with hot-swap capability, you can schedule a battery replacement during a maintenance window that you chose, not one the battery chose for you.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 400VAC three-phase four-wire input requirement is non-negotiable — confirm your facility's distribution panel supports this before the unit ships. A last-minute discovery that your panel is 208V three-phase is an expensive delay on a project of this scale.
• The 2+0 configuration provides capacity but not redundancy — both units are load-bearing. If your availability target requires N+1 UPS redundancy, you need to add a third frame and reconfigure to 2+1. Do not assume parallel automatically means fault-tolerant.

This bundle is a direct fit for mid-tier colocation suites, enterprise server rooms running European three-phase distribution, and purpose-built on-premises compute environments where load density has outgrown single-phase UPS designs and operational teams need SNMP-integrated battery management without a dedicated facilities crew on site.
