APC 5kVA Rack UPS

APC 5kVA Rack UPS in Kenya, Features and Price

APC 5kVA Rack UPS price is KES 441,000. The APC Smart-UPS SRT5KRMXLI is a high-performance 5kVA/4500W online double-conversion uninterruptible power supply that provides clean, conditioned power with no transfer time, protecting servers, storage, and critical network equipment. It features pure sine wave output, a 3U rack/tower convertible design, scalable runtime through external battery packs, and an embedded network management card for remote monitoring.

Online Double-Conversion:

The SRT5KRMXLI uses online double-conversion topology, the gold standard in UPS protection. Unlike line-interactive units, it continuously converts incoming AC power to DC and back to AC, completely isolating your connected equipment from the mains. This delivers clean, perfectly regulated power with zero transfer time when switching to battery, critical for servers, storage arrays, and sensitive equipment that cannot tolerate even a momentary interruption. It effectively rebuilds the power waveform, eliminating all mains disturbances including sags, surges, frequency variations, and noise. For data centres, server rooms, and critical infrastructure in Kenya’s challenging power environment, this is the protection serious equipment demands.

5kVA / 4500W Pure Sine Wave Output:

Rated at 5kVA/4500W, the SRT5KRMXLI provides substantial capacity for high-density applications, server racks, network equipment, storage, voice and data networks, medical labs, and light industrial loads. Its pure sine wave output with less than 2% voltage distortion perfectly replicates clean utility power, ensuring compatibility with the most sensitive electronics, active PFC power supplies, and equipment that can be damaged by the stepped waveforms of cheaper UPS units. Tight voltage and frequency regulation is maintained even under heavy load.

3U Rack/Tower Convertible Design:

The SRT5KRMXLI is built for flexible deployment. Its versatile 3U form factor mounts in a standard server rack using the included rail kit, or converts to a tower configuration to stand freely in a server room or office. This adaptability means the unit fits whatever infrastructure you have and can migrate with you as your setup evolves from tower to rack. All mounting hardware and support rails are included in the box.

Scalable Runtime with External Battery Packs:

While the internal battery provides valuable runtime for handling short outages and enabling graceful shutdown, the SRT5KRMXLI is designed for scalable runtime. It supports the addition of up to 10 external battery packs (SRT192RMBP), dramatically extending backup time to keep critical systems running through extended outages until generators or mains power return. This scalability lets you tailor the runtime precisely to your uptime requirements, a key advantage for operations that cannot afford downtime. Note that external battery packs are purchased separately.

Comprehensive Outlet Configuration:

The unit provides a high-density outlet configuration: six IEC C13 outlets for standard equipment, four IEC C19 outlets for higher-power devices like servers and blade enclosures, and two IEC jumper cables. All outlets are battery-backed, ensuring every connected device is protected during an outage. The input is hardwired for the secure, high-current connection a 5kVA unit requires, which should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the price of the APC 5kVA Rack UPS in Kenya? The APC Smart-UPS SRT5KRMXLI 5kVA is priced at KES 441,000 at Phones and Tablets Kenya, Nairobi, with a 1-year warranty.
• What does online double-conversion mean? It means the UPS continuously converts incoming AC to DC and back to AC, fully isolating your equipment from the mains. This delivers perfectly clean power with zero transfer time to battery, offering the highest level of protection for critical and sensitive equipment.
• What can the APC 5kVA UPS power? Rated at 5kVA/4500W, it is designed for high-density critical loads such as server racks, storage arrays, network and communication equipment, medical lab equipment, and light industrial applications.
• Can I extend the runtime of the SRT5KRMXLI? Yes. It supports up to 10 external battery packs (SRT192RMBP), which dramatically extend backup time for keeping critical systems running through long outages. The battery packs are purchased separately.
• Can this UPS be used in a tower configuration? Yes. It is rack/tower convertible. It mounts in a standard rack using the included 3U rail kit, or stands freely as a tower to suit your setup.
• How is the APC 5kVA UPS connected to power? The input is hardwired, which is standard for a UPS of this capacity. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure a safe, correct connection.
• Does the SRT5KRMXLI support remote monitoring? Yes. It includes an embedded Network Management Card that enables remote monitoring and management over Ethernet using protocols like SNMP, plus USB and serial connectivity and an included temperature probe.
• Is the battery replaceable? Yes. It uses a user-replaceable battery cartridge (APCRBC140), so the battery can be refreshed over the unit’s long service life rather than replacing the whole UPS.
