Do I need the On-Line version?
Only if the mains is unreliable or the load is very sensitive. On stable mains the standard Smart-UPS does the job for less.

Overview
APC Smart-UPS 3000VA — Supplied and Configured in the UK
The 3000VA Smart-UPS is the size where a comms cabinet becomes a server room — a fully populated rack held up long enough to shut down properly or bridge to a generator.

What it is for
Roughly 2,700W of usable load — a populated rack of hosts, storage and switching, or two racks of networking equipment fed from one unit.
- Pure sine-wave output, 2U rack or tower chassis
- Extended battery pack support for long runtimes
- Hard-wire and IEC outlet variants
- On-Line (SRT) version where mains quality is poor
Line-interactive or On-Line?
Standard Smart-UPS is fine on stable mains. If the site suffers frequent dips, generator switchover or brown-outs, the On-Line SRT version holds the output steady rather than reacting to it.
| Deployment | Range | Protection | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smart-UPS SMT/SMX | Line-interactive | Stable mains, most offices | |
| Smart-UPS On-Line SRT | Double conversion | Poor mains, generators, critical loads |

FAQs
Questions We Are Asked Most
How heavy is it?
Heavy enough that rails and two people matter. We specify the correct rail kit and flag the weight before install.
Can one 3000VA unit feed two racks?
It can if the total load and cabling allow it, though many sites prefer one UPS per rack for resilience. We will advise based on your layout.
