Battery backup and power protection

The Tripp Lite SMX1500LCDT is a line-interactive UPS rated at 1.5kVA and 900W for 230V environments. It supplies battery backup and automatic voltage regulation that corrects under- and overvoltages between 170V and 280V. Eight C13 outlets are provided, with two of them surge-only. A built-in LCD screen and USB port enable local and software-based monitoring via PowerAlert.

Suited for workstations and media centres

This unit fits home and office workstations, media centres and home entertainment systems that need safe shutdown time during outages. It is not intended for loads above 900W or for installations that require extended runtime beyond the 10 minutes available at half load. Buyers needing longer autonomy or higher power capacity should consider a larger unit.

Runtime at half load is 10 minutes

The internal VRLA battery set delivers approximately 10 minutes of operation at half load, which determines whether connected equipment can be shut down cleanly. Recharge takes less than eight hours and replacement uses two RBC51 cartridges. This single figure decides if the UPS matches the shutdown window your systems require.
