APC Easy UPS SRV 6000VA 230V with RailKit & Battery
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 6kVA/6kW Rackmount 4U UPS 230V with Rail Kit (SRV6KRIRK) - 2 Years Local Warranty
Double-Conversion On-Line Protection for Singapore's 230V/50Hz Supply
The APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV6KRIRK 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 SRV6KRIRK 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.
Rack 4U, Two Modules — and a Real Depth Warning
The SRV6KRIRK ships as two 2U chassis that together occupy 4U: a power module and a separate battery module, plus a rail kit. Schneider's official name for the part ends “W/ rail kit”, and the carton also contains the battery cable, the battery module bezel, two pairs of rack-mount brackets and a pair of locking brackets.
Check your cabinet depth before ordering. The power module is 615 mm deep (638 mm with the rear protrusion) and the battery module is 710 mm deep. Neither will fit a standard 600 mm comms cabinet; in practice this needs an 800–900 mm deep rack with the clearance to route hardwired conduit at the back. If your cabinet is 600 mm, talk to us before you order — that is the single most common return on a unit like this.
Full Nameplate Watts, Bypass and EPO
The SRV6KRIRK is rated at unity power factor, so 6000 VA gives a full 6000 W with no derating — worth checking against competing rack units that publish 0.8 or 0.9 power factor at the same VA. Efficiency is better than 94% at rated load.
An internal bypass operates automatically on overload or fault and can be commanded manually from the LCD, so a service visit does not have to drop the load. A rear-panel Emergency Power Off connector accepts a normally-closed contact for a room EPO loop. The Intelligent Card Slot takes an AP9544 Network Management Card 3 for SNMP monitoring and network shutdown, alongside the standard USB and RS-232 ports.
Supplied Locally, with GST Invoice and Singapore Warranty
SourceIT supplies the SRV6KRIRK 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, the cabinet depth 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.
Rack Fit, Depth and Weight
The system occupies 4U: a 2U power module and a 2U battery module. The power module is 615 mm deep (638 mm including the rear protrusion) and the battery module is 710 mm deep. Neither fits a standard 600 mm comms cabinet. Allow an 800–900 mm deep rack, and remember the rear needs clearance for hardwired conduit as well as the chassis itself.
Schneider names two optional rail kits for the base SRV6KRI / SRV10KRI models — SRVRK1 for the UPS and SRVRK2, a 900 mm depth kit, for the battery pack. No Schneider document states which kit is inside the RK carton, so we have not published a rail kit part number here. Ask us and we will confirm with the distributor before you order.
Battery and Runtime
The battery module runs on a 192 V DC bus and is supplied with the UPS. The replacement is a complete battery module, SRV192RBP-7A, rather than an APCRBC or APCRBCV cartridge — this range does not use cartridges. The 240 V SRV240BP-9A and SRV240RLBP-9A packs sold with the extended-runtime models are not compatible with this 192 V unit; do not order them for it.
Schneider publishes no runtime table for this model, so we do not print one. Runtime depends on the load. Send us your load in watts and the hold-up time you need and we will size it properly.
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 SRV6KRIRK
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. SRV6KRIRK 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.
How much rack space does it need, and will it fit my cabinet?
The delivered system occupies 4U. Depth is the thing to check: at 710 mm the chassis will not fit a standard 600 mm comms cabinet, so plan on a deeper rack, typically 800–900 mm, with rear clearance for the hardwired conduit. Please measure before you order — depth is the most common cause of an avoidable return on a unit this size.
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 SRV6KRIRK sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; APC backs the SRV6KRIRK with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
