Vertiv 6kVA UPS A Vertiv 6kVA UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a power backup system with an apparent power capacity of 6000 Volt-Amperes. The real power it can supply in Watts (W) depends on its power factor (PF), typically ranging from 0.8 to 1.0. Thus, a 6kVA UPS can deliver between 4800W and 6000W. Vertiv offers several UPS series that include 6kVA models, each designed for different applications and with varying features: 1. Vertiv™ Edge UPS (500VA - 3kVA): While the standard Edge series goes up to 3kVA, it's worth noting for its features relevant to smaller deployments. A potential parallel configuration of these units might achieve a higher capacity, but you should confirm this with Vertiv. Key features include line-interactive topology, sine wave output, high output power factor (0.9), and efficiency (up to 98% in line mode). 2. Vertiv™ Liebert® GXT MT+ (1kVA - 10kVA, including 6kVA): Topology: True online double-conversion, ensuring continuous power conditioning and zero transfer time. Form Factor: Tower design, with rack-mount options available (RT series). Output Power Factor: Typically 0.8, with some models like the GXT MTX+ offering 0.8 or higher. Efficiency: Up to 84% in double conversion mode, and up to 94% in ECO mode. Battery: Internal batteries with options for extended battery cabinets (LB models). Adjustable battery configuration and charging current. Management: LCD display, RS-232 and USB ports, and an intelligent slot for optional SNMP/other cards. Protection: Wide input voltage range, overload, and short circuit protection. Best Suited For: Small to medium server rooms, network closets, critical IT infrastructure. 3. Vertiv™ Liebert® GXT5 UPS (1kVA - 20kVA, including 6kVA): Topology: Online double conversion with sine wave output. Form Factor: Rack/tower convertible (typically 5U for some 6kVA models). Output Power Factor: High, often 1.0 in some 6kVA models, maximizing usable power. Efficiency: ENERGY STAR 2.0 certified with high efficiency; even higher in Active ECO mode (up to 98%). Battery: Hot-swappable internal batteries, scalable runtime with external battery cabinets, intelligent battery management, and lithium-ion options in some models. Management: Full-color graphic LCD with gravity sensing, programmable outlets, remote firmware upgrades, and optional SNMP. Protection: Comprehensive power protection. Best Suited For: Critical business IT systems in both centralized and edge applications. Key Specifications of a Typical Vertiv 6kVA UPS: These specifications can vary depending on the specific model within the Vertiv 6kVA range: Capacity: 6000 VA / 4800-6000 W (depending on the power factor, which can be 0.8 to 1.0). Some models like the Liebert GXT MTX+ offer a 6kVA/6kW capacity (PF=1). Input Voltage: Typically 220/230/240 VAC (single phase), with a wide input range (e.g., 110-300 VAC or 160-300 VAC) to handle fluctuations. Output Voltage: 220/230/240 VAC (single phase), often selectable. Frequency: 50/60 Hz (auto-sensing). Battery Voltage: Typically higher than 3kVA models, often requiring 16-20 12V batteries (192-240 VDC). Backup Time: Highly variable based on the load and battery configuration (internal vs. external). Some models offer around 5-15 minutes at full load with internal batteries, with significantly longer runtimes achievable with external battery cabinets. Recharge Time: Usually around 3-5 hours to reach 90% capacity. Communication Ports: Standard RS-232 and USB. Intelligent slots for optional SNMP, Modbus, or dry contact cards for remote monitoring and management. Outlets: Hardwire terminal blocks are common for input and output. Additionally, IEC C13 and C19 outlets may be present depending on the model. Dimensions and Weight: Can vary significantly based on the series and whether it's a tower or rack-mount unit. Rack-mount 6kVA UPS can be around 2U-5U in height and weigh between 40-85 kg. Tower models will have different dimensions.
