Distributed IT power protection

The APC SMT1500C is a line-interactive UPS rated at 1500VA and 1000W for 120V environments. It provides battery backup and surge protection for servers, switches, routers and networking devices. Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets supply connected loads while the integrated SmartConnect cloud service enables remote monitoring without subscription fees.

Installation requirements

Verify that your site supplies 120V nominal voltage within the 82 to 144V input range and a 50 or 60Hz frequency within 3Hz tolerance. The unit connects via a NEMA 5-15P plug and requires an accessible RJ-45, USB or SmartSlot interface for management integration. Ensure the RBC7 replacement battery is available for hot-swappable service.

Sustained load behaviour

At full 1000W load the internal sealed lead-acid battery delivers approximately seven minutes of runtime, extending to twenty-three minutes at half load. Automatic voltage regulation corrects fluctuations without draining the battery, while green mode optimises efficiency during continuous operation. The battery recharges fully in three hours and is rated for a five-year service life under normal conditions.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The unit ships with the UPS, a USB cable, serial cable and documentation; the NEMA 5-15P input cord is attached. Network management cards for the SmartSlot and extra battery packs are sold separately.

Which capacity should I choose for my load?

The SMT1500C delivers 1000 watts and 1440 VA; at full load it runs about 7 minutes and at half load about 23 minutes, so size your connected equipment to stay within 1000 watts.

What does the 1500 VA rating mean once the UPS is installed?

1500 VA is the apparent power rating; the real power limit is 1000 watts, so the UPS will support up to 1000 watts of connected gear for the stated runtimes.
