Core Features: Engineered for Seamless Protection
The SRV3KIL’s double-conversion topology continuously regenerates AC power from the DC bus, isolating loads from grid noise, surges, and sags for zero-transfer-time backup. This makes it ideal for sensitive electronics requiring unwavering stability. Key highlights include:
- Pure Sine Wave Output: Provides high-quality power compatible with active power factor corrected (PFC) loads.
- ECO Mode Efficiency: Optimizes energy use while maintaining online protection, reaching up to 88% efficiency.
- Wide Input Voltage Window: Adjusts to 100-280V at half load, thriving in regions with erratic supply.
- Intuitive LCD Control Panel: Displays real-time metrics like load, battery status, and faults for quick oversight.
- Robust Connectivity: Features USB, RS-232 serial, and a SmartSlot for optional network cards, enabling remote monitoring.
- Integrated Surge Suppression: 600 Joules of protection, plus audible alarms for battery low, overload, and more.
With an internal bypass for maintenance and a 3:1 crest factor for handling peaky loads, it’s built for real-world demands.

Runtime and Expandability: Endurance When It Matters
Backup duration is crucial, and the SRV3KIL delivers with its external battery integration. At half load (1.2 kW), it offers about 13 minutes—sufficient for orderly shutdowns. For lighter 600W loads, runtime extends to 31 minutes. The included pack boosts base capacity, but scalability takes it further: add up to three more SRV72BP-9A packs (total four) for exponentially longer support, reaching hours at reduced loads in extended outage scenarios.
