Purpose & Fit

The APC SMTL1500RM3UC is a 1500 VA, 1350 W line-interactive UPS built for 120 V environments. Its 3U rackmount chassis measures only 11.9 inches deep, making it suitable for short-depth cabinets. Lithium-ion chemistry reduces weight to 43 lbs and extends expected battery life to 5-10 years. Six NEMA 5-15R outlets provide battery-backed power for servers, network gear or sensitive electronics.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous demand the unit delivers pure sine-wave output at 120 V, maintaining voltage within the 82-144 V input window through automatic voltage regulation. Lithium-ion cells recharge fully in about 2 hours, supporting repeated discharge cycles without the capacity fade common in lead-acid designs. Typical transfer time is 6 ms with a 10 ms maximum, keeping connected loads running during brief utility interruptions.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 3U high, 17.25-inch wide unit with 11.89-inch depth and 43 lb weight. Confirm the site supplies 120 V via a NEMA 5-15P receptacle for the 8-foot input cord. Ensure the 680 joule surge rating meets your protection requirements and that the SmartConnect cloud monitoring or an optional SmartSlot card fits your management workflow.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1350 W lithium-ion UPS produce during continuous operation?

The unit uses a line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation, which runs cooler than double-conversion designs; the lithium-ion battery also generates less heat than lead-acid equivalents under the same load.

What input plug and circuit does the NEMA 5-15P connection require?

It ships with an 8 ft NEMA 5-15P cord, so a standard 120 V 15 A branch circuit and matching wall receptacle are all that is needed.

Will the 6 ms typical transfer time protect legacy servers with older power supplies?

Yes, the 6 ms typical and 10 ms maximum switch-over is well within the hold-up time of most legacy ATX and redundant power supplies, and the pure sine-wave output ensures compatibility with active PFC units.
