APC by Schneider Electric SYA12K16RMP Power Array
Overview
The APC Symmetra LX SYA12K16RMP is a 12 kVA / 9800 W rack-mountable uninterruptible power system (UPS) designed to provide continuous, clean power to critical IT infrastructure. It addresses the need for high-availability power in rack-dense environments, ensuring that sensitive equipment like servers, network switches, and storage arrays remain operational during utility power fluctuations or outages. The unit's online double-conversion topology means zero transfer time to battery power, essential for systems that cannot tolerate even momentary interruptions. Its 9600W output capacity is suitable for powering multiple high-draw devices within a single rack.
Compatibility
This Power Array is designed to integrate with APC's Symmetra LX modular UPS systems. It utilizes a proprietary battery type (SYBT5) and requires specific input/output connections. Compatibility is generally limited to other components within the Symmetra LX family that require this specific power module configuration and voltage input. It is not designed for direct connection to standard IT equipment without a compatible Symmetra LX chassis.
Installation Notes
Requires a hardwired 4-wire (2PH + N + G) input connection, necessitating professional electrical installation. The unit operates within a temperature range of 0-40°C (32-104°F) and can tolerate relative humidity from 0-95% non-condensing. Battery recharge time is approximately 3 hours to 90% capacity. The device features both audible alarms and an Emergency Power Off (EPO) contact for immediate shutdown in critical situations. Its physical dimensions are 472 x 688 x 836 mm (18.6 x 27.1 x 32.9 inches).
