APC Easy UPS SRV 6000VA 230V
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 6kVA/6kW Tower UPS 230V Hardwired (SRV6KI) - 2 Years Local Warranty
Double-Conversion On-Line Protection for Singapore's 230V/50Hz Supply
The APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV6KI is a true double-conversion on-line UPS rated at 6000 VA / 6000 W. Incoming mains is rectified to DC and rebuilt as a clean sine wave, so the load is fed from the inverter continuously rather than being switched across to battery when something goes wrong. Output voltage is held to within ±1% and distortion to 1% at full linear load.
That matters in Singapore, where the practical risk is far more often a sag, a brownout or a switching transient during a thunderstorm than a full blackout. The SRV6KI accepts 176–300 V AC at 100% load and 110–300 V AC at 60% load, so it rides through PUB grid disturbances on mains and keeps the batteries in reserve for genuine outages. Efficiency is better than 94% at rated load, which keeps the heat load on a comms room air-conditioner down.
Hardwired 3-Wire Installation — Please Plan For This
This is a hardwired unit. Schneider's own product name for it reads “Hard wire 3-wire(1P+N+E) outlet”: both the input and the output are terminal blocks. There is no plug and there are no IEC C13 or C19 sockets on this model. Anything you want to protect is connected through a downstream rack PDU or distribution board, not plugged into the back of the UPS.
Installation therefore needs a licensed electrician and a dedicated supply. A 6 kVA load draws in the order of 26 A at 230 V, so the circuit, breaker and cabling have to be sized for it before delivery day. If you were expecting to plug servers straight into the UPS, the IEC-outlet models in the same family are the 1–3 kVA Easy UPS On-Line SRV range — we are happy to help you choose.
Full Nameplate Watts — 6 kW of Real Output
The SRV6KI is rated at unity power factor: 6000 VA gives you 6000 W, with no derating to work around. Many UPS ranges at this size publish a 0.8 or 0.9 power factor, which quietly costs you 10 to 20 per cent of the capacity you thought you had bought. Size this one on watts and the number on the label is the number you get.
The tower chassis is a slim 190 mm wide footprint that stands beside a rack or in a plant room, and it carries its batteries internally. If you need longer runtime than the internal string provides, the extended-runtime models in this range are the ones to quote — this part number does not accept external battery packs.
Monitoring, Safe Shutdown and Emergency Power Off
A multifunction LCD console on the front reports input and output voltage, load and battery status. An Intelligent Card Slot takes an AP9544 Network Management Card 3 for SNMP monitoring, alerting and network shutdown — Schneider's card compatibility chart covers the SRV 5–20 kVA range. USB and RS-232 serial ports are fitted as standard.
An internal bypass operates automatically on overload or fault and can also be commanded manually from the LCD menu, so the load can stay live while the UPS is serviced. A rear-panel Emergency Power Off connector accepts a normally-closed contact for tie-in to a room EPO system, which is frequently a condition of acceptance in a managed data centre or a fitted-out server room.
Supplied Locally, with GST Invoice and Singapore Warranty
SourceIT supplies the SRV6KI as an APC by Schneider Electric product with a full GST invoice and local Singapore warranty support. APC's manufacturer term for this range is two years, repair or replace, and it applies worldwide — there is no separate European figure to catch you out. Schneider ask that the product be registered within ten days of purchase.
Because this is a hardwired unit, we would rather talk through the supply arrangement and the downstream distribution before you commit to a part number. Email sales@sourceit.com.sg with your load list and we will size it properly.

Compatibility & Runtime
What Connects to This UPS
There are no IEC sockets on this model. Schneider's product name specifies a single hard-wire 3-wire (1P+N+E) output, which is a terminal block. In practice the UPS output feeds a rack PDU, a sub-distribution board or a dedicated final circuit, and your equipment plugs into that. The input is a matching hard-wire 3-wire terminal block, so there is no plug to fit into a wall socket. Both ends must be terminated by a licensed electrician.
Sizing guidance: this unit is rated at unity power factor, so its 6000 W rating is the real continuous watts available. A 6000 W load draws in the order of 26 A at 230 V on the output side, and the supply circuit, breaker and cabling need to be sized accordingly, with headroom for battery recharge current on top of the load.
Battery and Runtime
The SRV6KI carries its batteries internally on a 192 V DC bus and does not accept external battery packs — that is what the extended-runtime models in this range are for. Schneider does not publish a runtime table for this model, so we will not print one: runtime depends entirely on how heavily the UPS is loaded. Tell us your actual load in watts and the hold-up time you need and we will work it out with the distributor rather than guess.
No replacement battery cartridge part number is published by Schneider for this model, so we have not invented one. When the batteries reach end of life, contact us with the serial number and we will confirm the correct replacement.
Siting and Rack Space
This is a tower model. Schneider's product name says Tower and no rail kit is offered for it, so it is not a rack unit — if you need it in a cabinet, the 4U rackmount build of the same rating is a separate part number, listed below. The chassis is 685 x 190 x 374 mm (depth 406 mm including the rear protrusion).
Management and Software
The Intelligent Card Slot accepts an AP9544 Network Management Card 3; Schneider's card compatibility chart covers the SRV 5–20 kVA range. USB and RS-232 serial ports are fitted as standard, and a rear-panel EPO connector takes a normally-closed contact for a room emergency power off loop.
Schneider does not document a bundled shutdown software package for the 6 and 10 kVA models, so we do not advertise one — network monitoring and shutdown are provided by the management card. The APV9601 card listed in our catalogue is documented for the smaller Easy UPS On-Line SRV models and should not be ordered for this unit.

Frequently Asked Questions — APC SRV6KI
What is the difference between the VA and the watt rating, and how do I size this UPS?
VA is apparent power and watts is real power. On most UPS ranges the watt figure is lower than the VA figure, so the watt rating is the one that limits what you can connect. This model is unusual and welcome in that it is rated at unity power factor: 6000 VA gives a full 6000 W. Add up the continuous watts of everything you intend to protect, leave headroom for start-up surge and for future growth, and check the total against 6000 W. Send us the list and we will do it with you.
Does this model have IEC outlets I can plug servers into?
No. Schneider's product name specifies a hard-wire 3-wire (1P+N+E) output, which is a terminal block. There are no C13 or C19 sockets on the unit at all, and the input is hardwired too. The output feeds a rack PDU or a distribution board, and a licensed electrician must terminate both ends. If you need a UPS you can simply plug into, look at the 1–3 kVA Easy UPS On-Line SRV models instead.
What runtime will I get?
Schneider does not publish a runtime table for this model, and we will not print a figure we cannot source. Runtime depends on how heavily the UPS is loaded — a unit at 30 per cent load runs far longer than the same unit at 90 per cent. Email sales@sourceit.com.sg with your load in watts and the hold-up time you need and we will get a proper figure from the distributor.
Can I add external battery packs for longer runtime?
Not to this part number. SRV6KI is an internal-battery model. Extended runtime in this range is provided by the separate power-module models, which carry no internal batteries and instead take up to four external 240 V packs. Those are listed in the ordering table above, and their packs are not compatible with this unit.
Can this tower model be rack mounted?
Schneider's official name for it says Tower and offers no rail kit, so we do not advertise it as rack-mountable. The rackmount build of the same rating is a separate part number and is listed in the ordering table above.
How do I monitor it over the network?
The Intelligent Card Slot takes an AP9544 Network Management Card 3, which Schneider's compatibility chart covers for the SRV 5–20 kVA range. That gives SNMP monitoring, alerting and network shutdown. USB and RS-232 ports are fitted as standard. Schneider does not document a bundled shutdown software package for the 6 and 10 kVA models, so please do not assume PowerChute over USB — ask us and we will confirm what is supported for your build. The APV9601 card in our catalogue is for the smaller Easy UPS On-Line SRV models and should not be ordered for this one.
Does it come with a Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?
Yes. Every APC SRV6KI sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; APC backs the SRV6KI with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
