Overview

Tripp Lite SU20KRTHWTFASSM 20,000VA / 20kVA / 18,000 watt online, double-conversion UPS system offers complete power protection for critical server, network and telecommunications equipment in a 16U rack/tower configuration pre-assembled into a Tripp Lite 25U rack enclosure. This system delivers complete N+1 redundancy when used at loads up to 50%, and non-redundant operation at loads between 50 and 100%. Fault-tolerant auto-bypass prevents unexpected service interruptions during UPS overload or internal fault conditions. Included parallel PDU with manual bypass switching enables hot-swappable replacement of all major UPS system components in both N+1 and combined operating modes. Enhanced availability, fault tolerance and simple hot-swap replacement options make this UPS ideal for advanced networking applications in data centers, computer rooms, network closets and rugged industrial locations.

Features

  • Tripp Lite SU20KRTHWTFASSM 20kVA, 20,000VA / 18,000 watt on-line, double-conversion UPS system in a 16U total rack/tower configuration (max output de-rates to 18kVA / 16kW when operated at 208V nominal input voltage)
  • Pre-built into a 25U SmartRack enclosure with 6U of open rack space able to accommodate two optional additional BP240V10RT3U external battery packs
  • Offers enhanced fault-tolerance and reliability with N+1 configuration support and hot-swappable whole UPS replacement options
  • Unique configuration ties input, output and data connections of two standard 10kVA UPS systems via detachable parallel PDU to offer 20kVA non-redundant operation and automatic N+1 redundancy at load levels of 50% and lower

Questions & Answers

Tripp Lite offers Hot-Swap PDUs, which make any UPS hot-swappable, as well as Hot-Swappable Modular UPS Systems, which integrate a detachable Hot-Swap PDU. The key component of the hot-swappable design is a modular power distribution unit (PDU) that combines all input and output power connections with a manual bypass switch. The dual input and manual bypass features of the PDU enable UPS system maintenance–from battery replacement to complete power module exchange–without powering down connected mission-critical equipment and hiring costly service specialists.
