Key Features of the APC Easy UPS SRV 2kVA
The APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 2kVA is built for performance, efficiency, and scalability, offering advanced features to meet the needs of critical applications. Here are its standout attributes:
1. Double-Conversion Online Topology
The SRV2KIL employs double-conversion online technology, converting incoming AC power to DC and back to AC to deliver a pure sine wave output with zero transfer time to battery. This ensures protection against voltage fluctuations, surges, and outages, with an efficiency of up to 94% at full load, minimizing energy waste and heat generation.
2. Extended Runtime with External Battery Pack
The SRV2KIL includes an external battery pack (SRV72BP-9A), enabling extended runtime to support critical systems during prolonged power outages. The UPS supports up to four external battery packs, allowing businesses to scale runtime from minutes to hours. The 1170W battery charger ensures a recharge time of approximately 4–5 hours, providing quick recovery for continuous protection.
3. High Power Capacity
With a 2kVA/1.6kW power rating, the SRV2KIL supports critical devices such as servers, networking equipment, and telecommunications systems. Its unity power factor maximizes usable power, delivering more real power in watts for efficient operation.
4. Energy-Saving ECO Mode
The ECO Mode enhances energy efficiency by bypassing unused electrical components during stable power conditions, achieving up to 99% efficiency without compromising protection. This reduces energy costs, making it an economical choice for businesses.
5. Intelligent Battery Management
The UPS features an intelligent battery management system that optimizes the performance and lifespan of its Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries. This ensures reliable operation and simplifies maintenance, backed by a 2-year warranty on both the UPS and batteries.
6. User-Friendly Interface and Remote Monitoring
The SRV2KIL includes a multifunction LCD status and control console, providing clear information on UPS status, load, and battery levels. Audible alarms alert users to conditions such as low battery, overload, or battery operation. An Intelligent Smart Slot supports an optional Network Management Card (AP9544, SRVSMB001, VGL9601I) for remote monitoring and management via Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT or third-party platforms.
7. Robust Design for Challenging Environments
Designed for versatility, the SRV2KIL operates in:
- Operating Temperature: 0–40°C
- Operating Relative Humidity: 0–95% (non-condensing)
- Operating Elevation: Up to 3,000 meters
This makes it suitable for diverse environments, including data centers, offices, and industrial settings with unstable power conditions.
8. Flexible Installation and Connectivity
The UPS supports hard-wired 3-wire (1P + N + E) input and four IEC 320 C13 output connections, ensuring compatibility with professional setups. It includes automatic and manual internal bypass for seamless power transfer during maintenance and an Emergency Power Off (EPO) feature for safety. The input power factor correction minimizes installation costs by enabling the use of smaller generators and cabling.
9. Generator Compatibility
The SRV2KIL is generator compatible, ensuring clean, uninterrupted power during extended outages when paired with a generator. Its wide input voltage range (110–300V at 60% load) reduces battery usage during minor fluctuations, preserving battery life for critical situations.
