VERTIV 1kVA UPS
SB MODEL & LB MODEL
The Vertiv 1kVA UPS comes in various models, with common models being the SB (Standby) and LB (Line-Interactive) series. These are uninterruptible power supplies designed to provide backup power and protection for critical equipment like servers, networking devices, and other sensitive electronic systems.
Let’s break down the general features and details of both SB and LB models in the 1kVA range.
1. Vertiv 1kVA SB (Standby) Series UPS
The SB Series is typically a basic Standby UPS designed to offer essential protection for home office and small business applications. The main purpose of the SB UPS is to provide basic surge protection and power backup during outages.
Key Features:
Topology: Standby
Power Rating: 1kVA / 1000VA
Output Power: 600W - 800W (varies by specific model)
Input Voltage: 160V - 280V (wide voltage range)
Output Voltage: 230V ± 10% (for typical models)
Waveform Type: Simulated Sinewave (basic sinewave approximation)
Battery Type: Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) or VRLA (Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid) batteries
Battery Capacity: 12V, 7Ah or 9Ah (depending on model)
Charging Time: Typically 4-8 hours to fully charge the battery
Run Time: Provides backup power for 5-15 minutes depending on the load
Interfaces: Often includes USB or serial ports for monitoring (depending on model)
Form Factor: Tower type, compact design
Additional Features:
Surge protection
Automatic voltage regulation (AVR)
Overload and short-circuit protection
Low battery and overload indicators
Fan-assisted cooling for efficient operation
Ideal Use Case:
Small offices, home offices, and workstations
Network routers, modems, and smaller networking equipment
Low power devices and equipment
2. Vertiv 1kVA LB (Line-Interactive) Series UPS
The LB Series is a more advanced line-interactive UPS system, designed for more demanding applications that require better efficiency and more consistent power quality.
Key Features:
Topology: Line-Interactive
Power Rating: 1kVA / 1000VA
Output Power: 800W - 900W (varies by specific model)
Input Voltage: 140V - 300V (wider input range compared to SB)
Output Voltage: 230V ± 10%
Waveform Type: Simulated Sinewave or Pure Sinewave (depending on the model and configuration)
Battery Type: Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) or VRLA
Battery Capacity: 12V, 7Ah or 9Ah
Charging Time: Around 4-6 hours for full charge
Run Time: Offers longer backup time, depending on load (usually 10-20 minutes for 50-75% load)
Form Factor: Tower or Rackmount (depending on model)
Interfaces: USB/Serial ports for monitoring, sometimes includes software for automatic shutdown
Additional Features:
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) for stabilizing voltage fluctuations
Enhanced battery management to extend battery life
Cold start capability (UPS can start without mains power)
Overload protection
LCD display for real-time status monitoring (on some models)
Audible alarms for low battery, overload, and fault conditions
Ideal Use Case:
Small to medium-sized servers, workstations, and critical network equipment
Sensitive medical equipment
Point-of-sale (POS) systems
Small business IT infrastructure
