APC Smart-UPS SRT 5000VA RM 230V
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APC Smart-UPS SRT 5000VA RM 230V (SRT5KRMXLI) - 2 Years Local Warranty
Double-Conversion On-Line Power Protection for Singapore's 230V Mains
The APC Smart-UPS SRT 5 kVA (SRT5KRMXLI) 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. Output harmonic distortion is rated at less than 2% and the unit carries an internal bypass, so a fault in the inverter path does not have to mean a dropped load.
5,000 VA / 4,500 W of Sine Wave Output on (6) IEC 60320 C13, (4) IEC 60320 C19 and (2) IEC jumpers
Schneider rates the SRT5KRMXLI at 5,000 VA / 4,500 W with a nominal 230V AC single-phase output at 50/60Hz (±3Hz, synchronised to mains) and a sine wave output waveform. Output connections are (6) IEC 60320 C13, (4) IEC 60320 C19 and (2) IEC jumpers. Size on watts, not VA: total the real power draw of everything you intend to protect and keep it comfortably under 4,500 W. A crest factor of 3:1 gives headroom for the inrush of switch-mode server power supplies.
Scalable Runtime with SRT Battery Packs
Internal batteries are maintenance-free sealed lead-acid (vrla) on a 192 V DC bus, with a typical recharge time of 1.5 hours. Where you need longer autonomy, the SRT5KRMXLI accepts SRT192RMBP external battery packs — up to 10 packs. 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. Schneider does not publish a runtime table for this model that we can verify, so we have not quoted one — ask us for a sizing calculation against your actual load.
3U Rack Footprint, Rail Kit Included
The SRT5KRMXLI occupies 3U of rack height in a 130 mm (H) x 432 mm (W) x 720 mm (D) chassis and ships with the rail kit included, so budget the U space and check your cabinet depth before ordering. Net weight is 54.43 kg — plan the lift, use two people, and mount it in the lower part of the cabinet. The chassis is rack/tower convertible if the deployment changes.
Management, Monitoring and Local Singapore Supply
On the SRT5KRMXLI, an embedded APC Network Management Card is fitted at the factory and a spare SmartSlot remains free, so you can reach the unit over SNMP, HTTPS and EcoStruxure IT without a separate accessory order in the first case, or add an AP9640 / AP9641 Network Management Card 3 in the second. An emergency power off (EPO) connection and a multi-function LCD status console are provided. Audible noise is rated at 55 dB. SourceIT supplies the SRT5KRMXLI 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 SRT5KRMXLI provides (6) IEC 60320 C13, (4) IEC 60320 C19 and (2) IEC jumpers. All outlets are battery-backed. Total the real power draw (watts) of the equipment you intend to protect and keep it below the 4,500 W rating — runtime falls sharply as load rises.
Runtime depends on load. Runtime is not linear: halving the load more than doubles the time on battery. Schneider does not publish a verified runtime table for the SRT5KRMXLI that we are able to cite here, so rather than quote a figure we cannot source, ask SourceIT for a runtime calculation against your measured load.
Extended runtime. Connect SRT192RMBP (rackmount 3U) external battery packs on the 192 V DC bus — up to 10 packs. Recharge time increases with each pack added, and each pack has a keyed mating connector that only fits its corresponding UPS; APC does not support third-party packs.
Rack fit. Occupies 3U and ships with the rail kit included; chassis dimensions are 130 mm (H) x 432 mm (W) x 720 mm (D). Check cabinet depth and allow for cable bend radius behind the unit.
Input and circuit — read this before ordering. The SRT5KRMXLI is hard wired (Hard wired, 3-wire (1PH + N + G) — a fixed electrical connection, not a plug). It does not arrive with a plug you can put into a wall socket: a licensed electrician must terminate it onto a suitably rated dedicated circuit. Confirm the supply arrangement and breaker rating with your electrician and building management before delivery — this is the single most common cause of a delayed SRT installation in Singapore.
Network management. An embedded Network Management Card is fitted from the factory, so SNMP, HTTPS, email alerting and EcoStruxure IT integration are available out of the box, and PowerChute Network Shutdown can gracefully close down multiple servers. A further SmartSlot remains free for an AP9640 / AP9641 card or an AP9613 Dry Contact I/O card, and the AP9641 adds environmental monitoring inputs for the AP9335TH sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions — APC SRT5KRMXLI
What is the difference between the 5,000 VA and 4,500 W rating, and how do I size the SRT5KRMXLI?
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 4,500 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 SRT5KRMXLI run on battery?
That depends entirely on load, and we would rather give you a calculation than a marketing figure. Runtime is not linear — halving the load more than doubles the time on battery. Internal recharge time is 1.5 hours. For defined autonomy, add SRT192RMBP (rackmount 3U) external battery packs (up to 10 packs) and ask SourceIT to size the configuration against your measured load.
Does the SRT5KRMXLI produce a sine wave output, and will it work with an active-PFC power supply?
Yes. Schneider specifies a sine wave output waveform with less than 2% distortion, and the unit is an on-line double-conversion design, so the load is fed from the inverter continuously. That is exactly 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 outright.
What do the XLI, RMXLI and NC suffixes mean?
They are genuinely different builds, not packaging variants. XLI is the tower orientation supplied without a rail kit; RMXLI is the rackmount build supplied with the rail kit included; a -NC suffix denotes a version supplied with a Network Management Card pre-installed. Schneider also produces XLT and XLW variants for other regional voltages. Check the part number carefully against your tender — the outlet count and rack height differ across near-identical numbers.
Which replacement battery does the SRT5KRMXLI take, and can I change it myself?
The SRT5KRMXLI uses the APCRBC140 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.
Does the SRT5KRMXLI come with a plug?
No — and this catches people out. The SRT5KRMXLI is hard wired (Hard wired, 3-wire (1PH + N + G) — a fixed electrical connection, not a plug). A licensed electrician must terminate it onto a dedicated circuit of suitable rating. Factor that into your installation schedule and confirm the supply with building management before the unit is delivered.
How much rack space does the SRT5KRMXLI need, and is the rail kit included?
It occupies 3U in a standard 19-inch cabinet and the rail kit is included in the box. Chassis dimensions are 130 mm (H) x 432 mm (W) x 720 mm (D) — check your cabinet depth and allow for cable bend radius behind the unit. Net weight is 54.43 kg, so mount it in the lower part of the rack and plan the lift.
Can I monitor the SRT5KRMXLI over the network?
Yes, out of the box. An embedded Network Management Card is fitted from the factory, giving SNMP, HTTPS, email alerting and EcoStruxure IT integration, plus PowerChute Network Shutdown for graceful multi-server shutdown. A further SmartSlot remains free if you want to add an AP9613 Dry Contact I/O card or an AP9641 with environmental monitoring for the AP9335TH sensor.
How does the SRT5KRMXLI compare with the SRT6KRMXLI?
Both are on-line double-conversion Smart-UPS SRT units. The SRT5KRMXLI is rated 5,000 VA / 4,500 W in a rackmount 3u form factor; the SRT6KRMXLI is rated 6,000 VA / 6,000 W in a rackmount 4u form factor. If your load sits close to the boundary, take the larger unit — runtime and battery life both improve when a UPS is not run near its ceiling. See SRT6KRMXLI.
Is the SRT5KRMXLI covered by warranty in Singapore?
Yes. Every APC SRT5KRMXLI sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; APC backs the SRT5KRMXLI with a 3 years UPS electronics / 2 years battery manufacturer warranty.
