Description

The APC Easy UPS 3S 20 kVA is an online double conversion UPS with a 3:1 topology — three-phase 400 V input delivering clean single-phase 230 V output — purpose-built for small and medium data centres, healthcare, telecoms, and manufacturing environments. With zero transfer time, unity output power factor, and efficiency exceeding 96% in double conversion mode (99% in ECO mode), it delivers continuous power conditioning without interruption. Supplied without internal batteries, this unit is designed exclusively for use with external battery cabinets, enabling flexible runtime configuration and simplified capacity scaling.

Parallel operation supports up to three units (maximum 60 kVA) for capacity expansion or N+1 redundancy, while a wide input voltage window (304–477 V) minimises battery usage during minor disturbances. Front-access servicing, integrated input/output/bypass breakers, an Emergency Power Off switch, and optional SNMP remote monitoring make this UPS easy to manage in demanding deployments. Replaceable dust filters and conformance-coated boards extend reliability in harsh environments. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.

FAQs

Q: Why does this UPS ship without batteries?
A: The E3SUPS20K3I is designed specifically to work with APC external battery cabinets. This approach lets you choose the exact number of battery modules required for your target runtime, scale capacity over time, and replace batteries without disturbing the UPS itself — ideal for data centre and critical infrastructure deployments.

Q: What does the 3:1 phase configuration mean, and why does it matter?
A: A 3:1 UPS accepts three-phase power from the building supply (380/400/415 V) and outputs single-phase power (230 V) to connected equipment. This is ideal for environments with a three-phase electrical infrastructure that need to power single-phase IT loads such as servers and network equipment, without requiring a separate transformer.

Q: Can multiple units be paralleled for higher capacity or redundancy?
A: Yes. Up to three E3SUPS20K3I units can be operated in parallel, providing a maximum combined capacity of 60 kVA. This supports both capacity scaling and N+1 redundancy configurations for mission-critical applications.

Q: What management and monitoring options are available?
A: The UPS includes LAN (RJ45), Modbus RS-485, DryContact, and a Smart Slot for optional SNMP network management cards. This enables integration with building management systems (BMS), DCIM platforms, and remote monitoring tools, with an optional SNMP card available separately.

Q: Is the Easy UPS 3S suitable for harsh or industrial environments?
A: Yes. The unit features replaceable dust filters and conformance-coated circuit boards, making it suitable for environments with elevated dust, humidity, or temperature variation — including manufacturing facilities, telecoms infrastructure, transportation hubs, and commercial buildings.

Q: Can I purchase the APC E3SUPS20K3I in Australia, and is local support available?
A: Yes. The APC Easy UPS 3S 20 kVA (E3SUPS20K3I) is available now through iptrading.com.au. IP Trading is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist offering competitive pricing, local pre-sales support, and access to compatible APC external battery cabinets and accessories.
