APC Smart-UPS On-Line 3kVA Rackmount 2U 230V
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APC Smart-UPS On-Line 3kVA Rackmount 2U 230V (SRT3000RMXLI) - 2 Years Local Warranty
Double-Conversion On-Line Power Protection for Singapore's 230V Mains
The APC Smart-UPS SRT 3 kVA (SRT3000RMXLI) is an on-line, double-conversion UPS: incoming mains is rectified to DC and regenerated as a clean sine wave output, so the load is fed from the inverter continuously rather than being switched over when the supply fails. On Singapore's 230V / 50Hz supply that matters most during the afternoon storm season, when PUB grid dips, brownouts and momentary interruptions are common enough to reset a server or corrupt a database write. Schneider specifies the SRT3000RMXLI to accept an input range of 100-275 V adjustable (half load) at 40-70Hz auto-sensing, so it rides through sag and swell without drawing on the battery.
3,000 VA / 2,700 W of Sine Wave Output on (8) C13 and (2) C19 Outlets
Schneider rates the SRT3000RMXLI at 3,000 VA / 2,700 W with a nominal 230V AC single-phase output at 50/60Hz (±3Hz, synchronised to mains) and a sine wave output waveform. Outlets are (8) IEC 60320 C13 and (2) IEC 60320 C19, so it will take a mixed load of rack servers, switches, NAS and comms equipment; the C19 outlets suit higher-draw devices such as blade chassis and larger storage arrays. Size on watts, not VA: total the real power draw of everything you intend to protect and keep it comfortably under 2,700 W.
Runtime and Extended Runtime with SRT Battery Packs
Schneider's published runtime for the SRT3000RMXLI on its internal battery is 11.8 minutes at half load (1,350 W) and 4.0 minutes at full load (2,700 W) — enough to ride out a short outage or to shut a rack down cleanly. Where you need longer, the SRT3000RMXLI accepts external battery packs: the SRT96RMBP matches this unit's 96V battery bus, the UPS will recognise as many as ten packs, and the internal cartridge is the APCRBC152. Battery service life in a Singapore comms cabinet depends heavily on ambient temperature, so keep the room cool and dry; Schneider rates the unit for 0-40°C operation at 0-95% non-condensing humidity.
2U Rack-Ready, Rail Kit Included
The SRT3000RMXLI occupies 2U (85 mm) of rack height in a 85 mm (H) x 432 mm (W) x 635 mm (D) chassis and ships with the rail kit included, so it goes straight into a standard 19-inch cabinet without a separate accessory order. Net weight is 31.3 kg — plan the lift and mount it low in the cabinet. The same chassis converts to tower orientation if the deployment changes. Check your cabinet depth against the 635 mm (D) figure before ordering.
Management, Monitoring and Local Singapore Supply
Serial (RJ45) and USB (Type A) interface ports are built in, together with an available SmartSlot for an APC Network Management Card 3 (AP9640 or AP9641) where you need SNMP, web access or EcoStruxure IT monitoring, and an emergency power off (EPO) connection. A multi-function LCD console gives status and configuration at the unit. Audible noise is rated at 55 dBA. SourceIT supplies the SRT3000RMXLI from Singapore stock with a GST invoice and local warranty support — no overseas RMA, no import paperwork.

Compatibility & Runtime
What you can plug in. The SRT3000RMXLI provides (8) IEC 60320 C13 and (2) IEC 60320 C19. All outlets are battery-backed. Total the real power draw (watts) of the equipment you intend to protect and keep it below the 2,700 W rating — runtime falls sharply as load rises, as the figures below show.
| Internal battery, half load (1,350 W) | 11.8 minutes |
| Internal battery, full load (2,700 W) | 4.0 minutes |
Runtime depends on load. These are Schneider's published estimates for a healthy battery at 25°C; real runtime varies with load, battery age and ambient temperature, which in an unconditioned Singapore comms cabinet can shorten battery life considerably.
Extended runtime. Connect SRT96BP (tower) or SRT96RMBP (rackmount) external battery packs on the 96V battery bus. The UPS will recognise as many as ten packs. Recharge time increases with each pack added.
Rack fit. Occupies 2U (85 mm) and ships with the rail kit included; chassis depth is 635 mm (D).
Input and circuit. The SRT3000RMXLI input is IEC 60320 C20, BS 1363 (British) or CEE 7/7 (Schuko); 2.4 m input cord. At 2,700 W a dedicated 13A or 16A supply is the sensible provision; confirm the circuit with your electrician before installation.
Network management. The SmartSlot is supplied empty. Fit an AP9640 or AP9641 Network Management Card 3 for SNMP, HTTPS and EcoStruxure IT monitoring; the AP9641 adds environmental monitoring inputs for the AP9335TH sensor. Serial and USB are built in for direct PowerChute connection to a single host.

Frequently Asked Questions — APC SRT3000RMXLI
What is the difference between the 3,000 VA and 2,700 W rating, and how do I size the SRT3000RMXLI?
VA is apparent power and W is real power; equipment nameplates and PSU ratings are quoted in watts, and watts is the figure that limits you. Add up the real draw of everything you want on battery and keep the total below 2,700 W. Sizing to about 70-80% of that leaves headroom for inrush and for future additions, and gives noticeably longer runtime.
How long will the SRT3000RMXLI run on battery?
Schneider publishes 11.8 minutes at half load (1,350 W) and 4.0 minutes at full load (2,700 W) on the internal battery. Runtime is not linear with load — halving the load more than doubles the runtime. For longer autonomy, add SRT96BP or SRT96RMBP external battery packs; up to ten can be recognised by the UPS.
Does the SRT3000RMXLI produce a sine wave output, and will it work with an active-PFC power supply?
Schneider's datasheet for the SRT3000RMXLI states a sine wave output waveform, and the unit is an on-line double-conversion design, so the load is fed from the inverter continuously. That is the output type active-PFC server and workstation power supplies expect — unlike the step-approximated output of many entry-level line-interactive and standby UPS units, which some active-PFC supplies reject.
What do the XLI and RMXLI suffixes mean?
They are genuinely different builds, not packaging variants. XLI is the tower orientation supplied without a rail kit; RMXLI is the rackmount 2U build supplied with the rail kit included. Both are 230V international models with extended-runtime capability. Schneider also produces XLT, XLW and -NC (network card) variants of the SRT family that SourceIT does not stock in this band — check the part number carefully against your tender.
Which replacement battery does the SRT3000RMXLI take, and can I change it myself?
The SRT3000RMXLI uses the APCRBC152 replacement battery cartridge. APC designs the SRT battery modules to be user-replaceable, and the front bezel comes off without tools. Plan on replacement every three to five years; heat is the main determinant, so a cabinet that runs hot will shorten cartridge life.
How much rack space does the SRT3000RMXLI need, and is the rail kit included?
It occupies 2U (85 mm) in a standard 19-inch cabinet and the rail kit is included in the box. Chassis dimensions are 85 mm (H) x 432 mm (W) x 635 mm (D) — check your cabinet depth, and allow for cable bend radius behind the unit. Net weight is 31.3 kg, so mount it in the lower part of the rack.
Can I monitor the SRT3000RMXLI over the network?
Not out of the box — the SmartSlot ships empty. Fit an AP9640 or AP9641 Network Management Card 3 for SNMP, HTTPS, email alerting and EcoStruxure IT integration. For a single directly-attached host, the built-in USB or serial port with APC PowerChute is sufficient and costs nothing extra.
How does the SRT3000RMXLI compare with the SRT2200RMXLI?
Both are on-line double-conversion SRT units on the same platform. The SRT3000RMXLI is rated 3,000 VA / 2,700 W and the SRT2200RMXLI is rated 2,200 VA / 1,980 W. They share the same outlet configuration. If your load is close to the boundary, take the larger unit — runtime and battery life both improve when the UPS is not run near its ceiling. See SRT2200RMXLI.
Is the SRT3000RMXLI covered by warranty in Singapore?
Yes. Every APC SRT3000RMXLI sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; APC backs the SRT3000RMXLI with a 3 years UPS electronics / 2 years battery manufacturer warranty.
