Description
Engineered for always-on businesses, the APC Symmetra LX 12 kVA scalable to 16 kVA N+1 Tower UPS (SKU SYA12K16I) delivers enterprise-grade power protection in a modular, fully-redundant design. Three hot-swappable power modules and battery frames work in parallel to create N+1 fault tolerance and allow capacity or runtime to expand on demand—without downtime.
Key benefits
-
Scalable uptime: add a fourth power module to boost capacity to 16 kVA / 16 kVA N+1.
-
True double-conversion online: isolates critical loads from mains disturbances for a perfect sine wave output.
-
Hot-swappable everything: power modules, batteries, intelligence module and wiring tray remove in minutes for rapid service.
-
Wide-range input: accepts 220/230/240 V single-phase or 380/400/415 V three-phase feeds, ideal for global datacentres and industrial sites.
-
Integrated management: factory-installed Network Management Card 2 with environmental monitoring plus multilingual LCD for local control.
-
Space-saving tower footprint: 93.7 × 48.3 × 72.6 cm keeps floor usage low versus multi-rack solutions.
-
Peace-of-mind warranty: 2-year repair/replace from APC by Schneider Electric.
