APC Smart-UPS SRT 8000VA RM 230V
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APC Smart-UPS SRT 8000VA RM 230V (SRT8KRMXLI) - 2 Years Local Warranty
Double-Conversion On-Line Power Protection for Singapore's 230V Mains
The APC Smart-UPS SRT 8 kVA (SRT8KRMXLI) 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.
8,000 VA / 8,000 W of Sine Wave Output on (6) IEC 60320 C13, (4) IEC 60320 C19, (3) IEC jumpers and (1) hard-wire 3-wire (H N + E) connection
Schneider rates the SRT8KRMXLI at 8,000 VA / 8,000 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, (3) IEC jumpers and (1) hard-wire 3-wire (H N + E) connection. Size on watts, not VA: total the real power draw of everything you intend to protect and keep it comfortably under 8,000 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 lead-acid (vrla) on a ±192 V DC (split battery referenced to neutral) bus, with a typical recharge time of 1.5 hours. Where you need longer autonomy, the SRT8KRMXLI accepts SRT192RMBP2 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.
6U Rack Footprint, Rail Kit Included
The SRT8KRMXLI occupies 6U of rack height in a 263 mm (H) x 432 mm (W) x 715 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 111.82 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 SRT8KRMXLI, 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 dBA. SourceIT supplies the SRT8KRMXLI 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 SRT8KRMXLI provides (6) IEC 60320 C13, (4) IEC 60320 C19, (3) IEC jumpers and (1) hard-wire 3-wire (H N + E) connection. All outlets are battery-backed. Total the real power draw (watts) of the equipment you intend to protect and keep it below the 8,000 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 SRT8KRMXLI 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 SRT192RMBP2 (rackmount 3U) external battery packs on the ±192 V DC (split battery referenced to neutral) 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 6U and ships with the rail kit included; chassis dimensions are 263 mm (H) x 432 mm (W) x 715 mm (D). Check cabinet depth and allow for cable bend radius behind the unit.
Input and circuit — read this before ordering. The SRT8KRMXLI is hard wired (Hard wired, 3-wire (1P + N + E) or 5-wire (3P + N + E) — 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 SRT8KRMXLI
What is the difference between the 8,000 VA and 8,000 W rating, and how do I size the SRT8KRMXLI?
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 8,000 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 SRT8KRMXLI 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 SRT192RMBP2 (rackmount 3U) external battery packs (up to 10 packs) and ask SourceIT to size the configuration against your measured load.
Does the SRT8KRMXLI 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.
Can I replace the batteries in the SRT8KRMXLI myself?
APC designs the SRT battery modules to be user-replaceable and the front bezel comes off without tools. Schneider's published datasheet for this exact part number does not name the replacement cartridge, so rather than guess we would ask you to confirm the part with SourceIT against your unit's serial number before ordering. Plan on replacement every three to five years; heat is the main determinant of service life.
Does the SRT8KRMXLI come with a plug?
No — and this catches people out. The SRT8KRMXLI is hard wired (Hard wired, 3-wire (1P + N + E) or 5-wire (3P + N + E) — 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 SRT8KRMXLI need, and is the rail kit included?
It occupies 6U in a standard 19-inch cabinet and the rail kit is included in the box. Chassis dimensions are 263 mm (H) x 432 mm (W) x 715 mm (D) — check your cabinet depth and allow for cable bend radius behind the unit. Net weight is 111.82 kg, so mount it in the lower part of the rack and plan the lift.
Can I monitor the SRT8KRMXLI 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 SRT8KRMXLI compare with the SRT10KRMXLI?
Both are on-line double-conversion Smart-UPS SRT units. The SRT8KRMXLI is rated 8,000 VA / 8,000 W in a rackmount 6u form factor; the SRT10KRMXLI is rated 10,000 VA / 10,000 W in a rackmount 6u 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 SRT10KRMXLI.
Is the SRT8KRMXLI covered by warranty in Singapore?
Yes. Every APC SRT8KRMXLI sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; APC backs the SRT8KRMXLI with a 3 years UPS electronics / 2 years battery manufacturer warranty.
