APC UPS Portfolio
Three tiers — from office server rooms through to large data centres.
Choosing the Right Protection Level
UPS systems are classified by three topologies — each with different protection levels, transfer times, and ideal applications.
Offline / Standby
BasicLowest cost. Load runs on direct mains until failure — then switches to battery. 8–15ms transfer time. Suitable for basic PC protection only.
Line Interactive
Server RoomAVR corrects brownouts without battery. Pure sine wave on battery. 4–6ms transfer. Ideal for server rooms and network cabinets. APC Smart-UPS SMT.
Online Double-Conversion
Mission CriticalLoad always powered through inverter — zero transfer time, complete mains isolation, no power quality events ever reach connected equipment. APC Smart-UPS Ultra, Galaxy VX.
Smart-UPS Ultra — Online in 1U
The Smart-UPS Ultra delivers true online double-conversion protection — 3000VA in a single 1U rack slot. Lithium-ion battery provides 8–10 year service life, and the 5-year warranty (including battery) is the longest in its class.
- Online topology — zero transfer time, complete mains isolation
- 1U rack/tower convertible with included rail kit
- Expandable: up to 5 × external battery packs
- SmartConnect built-in — cloud monitoring from day one
