Vertiv 3Kva Ups A Vertiv 3kVA UPS is an uninterruptible power supply with a capacity of 3000 Volt-Amperes (VA). This rating indicates the apparent power it can deliver to connected equipment. The actual power in Watts (W) will depend on the UPS's power factor (PF), which is typically between 0.8 and 1.0. Therefore, a 3kVA UPS can usually supply between 2400W (at PF 0.8) and 3000W (at PF 1.0). Vertiv offers several UPS models in the 3kVA range, each with slightly different features and target applications. Some prominent series include: 1. Vertiv™ Edge UPS (500VA - 3kVA): Topology: Line-interactive with sine wave output. Form Factors: Available in 1U, 2U, 3U rack mount, mini-tower, and rack/tower convertible depending on the specific model. Power Factor: High output power factor of 0.9, maximizing available power to IT loads. Efficiency: High efficiency, up to 98% in line mode, for energy savings. Battery: Supports up to 6 Extended Battery Cabinets (EBCs) in selected models for extended runtime. Hot-swappable internal batteries in some models. Management: Auto-detect for EBCs, colorful graphical LCD for on-site management, optional SNMP support, and compatibility with Vertiv™ Power Insight software for remote management. Protection: Advanced Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) with boost and buck. Best Suited For: Distributed IT and edge applications, including servers, networking, and storage systems in edge data centers. 2. Vertiv™ Liebert® GXT MT+ (1kVA - 3kVA): Topology: True online double-conversion, providing continuous power conditioning and zero transfer time. Form Factor: Compact tower design, with rack mount options available in some models (RT series). Output Power Factor: Typically 0.8 or 0.9, depending on the specific generation (Gen 2 often has 0.9). Efficiency: Double conversion efficiency up to 90-92%. ECO mode available for higher efficiency. Battery: Standard models come with internal batteries, and long backup (LB) models support external battery cabinets for extended runtime. Batteries are often user-replaceable. Management: LCD display for status and control, RS-232 and USB ports standard, with an intelligent slot for optional SNMP or other management cards. Protection: Wide input voltage range, input circuit breaker, overload protection, and short circuit protection. Best Suited For: Small and medium server rooms, network closets, VoIP, banking, financial, insurance, healthcare, retail, and education sectors. 3. Vertiv™ Liebert® GXT5 UPS (1kVA - 10kVA, including 3kVA models): Topology: Online double conversion with sine wave output. Form Factor: Rack/tower convertible design for installation flexibility (typically 2U for 3kVA models). Output Power Factor: High output power factor of 1.0 in some 3kVA models, providing more usable power. Efficiency: ENERGY STAR 2.0 certified for high efficiency. Battery: Hot-swappable internal batteries, with scalable runtime options using external battery cabinets. Intelligent battery health management. Lithium-ion options are also available in some GXT5 models. Management: Full-color graphic LCD with gravity sensing, programmable outlets for load management, remote firmware upgrade capability, and optional SNMP for network management. Protection: Comprehensive power protection against outages and all types of power disturbances. Best Suited For: Ensuring the health and availability of critical business IT systems, both in centralized and edge applications. Key Specifications of a Typical Vertiv 3kVA UPS: While specifications vary by model, here are some common parameters for a Vertiv 3kVA online UPS: Capacity: 3000 VA / 2400-3000 W (depending on the power factor). Input Voltage: Typically 230 VAC (single phase), with a wide input voltage range to accommodate fluctuations (e.g., 110-300 VAC or 176-280 VAC). Output Voltage: 220/230/240 VAC (single phase), often user-configurable. Frequency: 50/60 Hz (auto-sensing). Battery Voltage: Typically 72 VDC (requiring multiple 12V batteries). Backup Time: Varies significantly based on the load and the number/capacity of internal or external batteries. It can range from a few minutes at full load to longer durations with extended battery options. Some models quote backup times of 10-20 minutes at full load with standard internal batteries. Recharge Time: Typically around 3-4 hours to reach 90% capacity. Communication Ports: USB, RS-232 are common. Intelligent slots for optional SNMP, Modbus, or relay cards. Outlets: IEC C13 and sometimes Schuko outlets are typical. Terminal blocks might also be available for hardwired connections. Dimensions and Weight: Vary by model and form factor. Tower units will have different dimensions than rack-mount units. Weights can range from around 17 kg to 28 kg for standard models.
