APC by Schneider Electric SRT5KXLTUS Online Double-Conversion 5000VA UPS

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric SRT5KXLTUS is a 5000VA / 5kVA online double-conversion UPS in a rack/tower convertible form factor, designed for 208V environments where true zero-transfer-time power protection is non-negotiable. Unlike line-interactive or standby UPS designs that react to power events, the SRT5KXLTUS runs your load continuously on clean, inverter-generated power — utility AC never reaches your equipment directly. For power protection deployments in data closets, server rooms, or integrated security infrastructure, that distinction matters when a brief sag or swell would otherwise corrupt a transaction or drop a recording.

The convertible rack/tower chassis means you can deploy it standing upright in a comms room today and slide it into a standard rack enclosure later — without purchasing a separate unit.

Key Features

• Online Double-Conversion Topology: The load runs entirely off the inverter at all times — there is no transfer time on power events. For NVRs, servers, or access control panels, this eliminates the sub-20ms window where cheaper UPS designs can drop equipment during switchover. If your VMS or access control system has ever logged a spontaneous reboot during a storm, this topology removes that failure mode.
• 5000VA / 208V Output: At 5kVA on a 208V feed, the SRT5KXLTUS supports a meaningful rack load — multiple network video recorders, managed switches, servers, or a dense access control head-end. Running at 208V rather than 120V reduces current draw at the same wattage, which means thinner branch circuits and less voltage drop over distance in larger facilities.
• Output Receptacles — 2x L6-20R + 2x L6-30R: Four 208V locking outlets (two 20A and two 30A) give you flexibility to feed both standard rack PDUs and higher-draw appliances from a single UPS chassis. Locking connectors prevent accidental disconnection in high-vibration environments like equipment cages or industrial installations.
• Rack/Tower Convertible Form Factor: Ships ready for freestanding tower deployment; converts to rack-mount without additional hardware. This matters for phased buildouts — you can stage equipment before your rack infrastructure is finalized, then migrate in-place.
• 208V Input Compatibility: Accepts 208V input, making it suited for facilities already running 208V single-phase branch circuits (common in commercial buildings fed from 208/120V three-phase distribution). No step-down transformer required.
• Network Management Card Included: The integrated network management card allows remote monitoring of load, battery health, and runtime estimates over the network — essential for unmanned equipment rooms where you need out-of-band visibility into power status without physical access. Pair this with a managed PoE switch for complete infrastructure oversight.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making the SRT5KXLTUS eligible for U.S. federal, state, and municipal procurement contracts. If your project involves a government agency or GSA schedule, TAA compliance is a gate-keeping requirement — this unit clears it.

Integration & Compatibility

The 208V single-phase input/output profile aligns with commercial electrical infrastructure in the U.S. The SRT5KXLTUS pairs naturally with rack-mounted NVRs, enterprise switches, and server chassis operating on 208V branch circuits. The included network management card supports SNMP-based monitoring, enabling integration into existing network operations dashboards and automated alerting workflows. For UPS selection in multi-device racks, confirm the combined VA load of all connected equipment stays within the 5000VA capacity — double-conversion UPS efficiency at partial loads varies, so review runtime curves against your specific load profile before finalizing battery backup duration expectations.

TAA compliance is documented on the product, making the SRT5KXLTUS a direct fit for system integrators quoting projects under federal or cooperative purchasing contracts that require TAA-conforming equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the SRT5KXLTUS TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The SRT5KXLTUS carries TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance certification, making it eligible for U.S. federal and government-contracted procurement.

Q: What output receptacles does the SRT5KXLTUS provide?

A: The SRT5KXLTUS provides four 208V locking outlets: two NEMA L6-20R (20A) and two NEMA L6-30R (30A), suitable for rack PDUs and higher-draw devices on 208V circuits.

Q: What UPS topology does the SRT5KXLTUS use?

A: Online double-conversion. The load runs continuously on inverter-generated power with zero transfer time to battery during power events — not line-interactive or standby.

Q: Can the SRT5KXLTUS be installed in a standard equipment rack?

A: Yes. The chassis is rack/tower convertible — it ships ready for tower deployment and can be configured for rack installation without purchasing a separate rack-mount kit.

Q: Does the SRT5KXLTUS include a network management card?

A: Yes. A network management card is included, enabling remote SNMP-based monitoring of load, battery status, and runtime from a networked management console.

Q: What input voltage does the SRT5KXLTUS require?

A: The SRT5KXLTUS requires a 208V input feed, consistent with standard commercial 208/120V three-phase distribution infrastructure common in U.S. commercial and institutional buildings.
