Biggist "Plugin" UPS Available!

Certainly for SRT units, at the minimum. Above this model, most UPSes are hard-wired. Dual Conversion topology and a color backlighted LCD display make this UPS very hard to beat! One of my favorite 208V UPSes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have 2 of these SRT5KRMXLT

My equipment is an extension of me so I want to protect it! My Hybrid Cloud setup is perfect for my cluster of Nodes. I had to purchase separate 120 Volt step DOWN transformer(s) for all of my server equipment. That was a better fit for my needs. Only my D3284 had a 208 Volt plug which plugged directly in the back of the APC. The rest of the Server nodes are 120v plugs which plugged into the step down transformer and the transformer plugged into the APC.
Living in NYC the power grid from Con Ed has become scary like the crime and similar to a third world power provider. Some serious Voltage drops have occurred regularly all the way down to 108 Volts which burns up equipment with higher amps. Basically, since Volts X Amps = Watts when the voltage drops like it does then the amps ramp up. Sizzle Sizzle, and bye bye equipment. We had times where the power went off and on quickly like a kid on the light switch.
Since my goal was to protect my equipment. I believe I may need an external battery pack but put it off because I built a "Generator Quiet Box for Emergency Power," so I need maybe 5 minutes of lead time that's it!
I wrote a simple script that will Call me on the phone, Text me, Email me, and even have a red flashing siren when the power fails. What I really value is that the APC unit has dry contacts whereas I setup a "Normally closed setup to my smoke detectors." If the temperature rises rapidly to 170F/ or smoke inside my APC 42U then the apc will automatically shut off all the power and the smoke detector will signal a traveler to my other smokes. I also have a clean agent setup a must have for the ultimate fire detection and prevention. In addition, I have netbotz with multiple temp sensors total overkill buy hey that's me.
Pros: the APC is it takes a beating and keeps going
handles dirty power of CON Ed and the little kid flipping the power switch off and on daily.

Negative: lead Acid does not last long but it is much safer to use than anything out there today. You bet I researched this. LIP is the next best thing.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Easy to Perform Maintenance, Ease of Management, High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime

Worst ever interface for configuring notifications

For the quality and reputation of the hardware you think they'd put some effort into making it manageable. I can't say enough about how difficult and time consuming this product is to manage notifications on.
Pros: High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Cons: Difficult to Use, Difficult Management, Lacking Vendor Support
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best and Relaible USP
on August 27, 2024
Posted by: bburch23
from Hobart, IN
Purchased a backup power supply unit for my servers in our company. We have had many storms and power outage especially from Mid-July to the end of August right now and our servers never miss a beat. The power can fluctuate and the apc does the job by keeping to power steady to the servers. When our power does go out we have enough time to properly shut down our servers, firewalls, and switches which allows us to maintain the integrity of the hardware and keeps the hardware from malfunctioning due to power fluctuations or outages.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Easy to Perform Maintenance, Ease of Management, Good Value, High Quality, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
