How much runtime will I get?
Around fifteen to twenty minutes at half load on internal batteries. Extended battery packs take that to an hour or more where needed.

Overview
APC Smart-UPS 2200VA — Supplied and Configured in the UK
The 2200VA Smart-UPS steps up to a real server rack — several hosts, switching and storage held long enough for a controlled shutdown or a short mains interruption.

What a 2200VA Unit Holds
Close to 2,000W of usable load. That is typically two or three rack servers with switching, or a virtualisation host pair with storage.
- Pure sine-wave output, 2U rack or tower chassis
- Supports extended battery packs for longer runtime
- Hot-swap batteries and hard-wire or IEC outlet options
- Network management card slot for alerting and shutdown
2200VA or 3000VA?
Size on real measured draw, not nameplate ratings — server power supplies are rated far above what they actually pull. If measured load is above about 1,600W, go to 3000VA.
| Deployment | Model | Usable load | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smart-UPS 1500VA | ~1,000W | Switch stack plus one server | |
| Smart-UPS 2200VA | ~1,980W | Small server rack | |
| Smart-UPS 3000VA | ~2,700W | Busy rack, longer runtime |
Runtime Planning
Beyond ten minutes or so, extended battery packs usually make more sense than a bigger UPS. We work out which combination gets you the runtime you need.
- Extended battery packs specified where runtime demands it
- Graceful shutdown configured for hosts and hypervisors
- Rack space, weight and circuit rating checked before quoting
FAQs
Questions We Are Asked Most
Does it need a dedicated circuit?
At this size it usually should. We check the circuit rating and plug type with you before confirming the model.
Can it shut down a virtualisation host cleanly?
Yes, with a network management card and APC's shutdown agent. We configure the alerting and thresholds if you would like.
