2880 VA 2700 W line-interactive UPS

This Vertiv Liebert PSI5 unit delivers 2880 VA and 2700 W of pure sine-wave backup power with a 0.9 power factor. It accepts 120 V input through a NEMA L5-30P plug and provides seven outlets including NEMA 5-15/20R, 5-20R and L5-30R types. The rotatable LCD monitor suits both rack and tower orientations.

Input range 75 to 146 VAC with AVR

Automatic voltage regulation corrects sags and swells between 75 and 146 VAC without using the battery, preserving runtime for true outages. Frequency tolerance spans 55 to 65 Hz with a 57 to 63 Hz window for battery-to-normal return. Surge protection is rated at 1372 joules. Operating temperature range is 32 to 104°F.

Replaces smaller VA units when runtime matters

At full load the VRLA battery provides 5.5 minutes of runtime; at half load it extends to 16 minutes. Recharge to 90 percent takes four hours. Hot-swappable battery modules allow replacement without powering down connected equipment. Buyers needing longer runtime at full load or higher VA capacity will need a larger UPS.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2880 VA / 2700 W model or a lower-capacity unit for my rack?

Choose the 2880 VA model when your connected load approaches 2700 W; it delivers 5.5 minutes at full load and 16 minutes at half load, while smaller units would exhaust runtime sooner.

What does the 2700 W rating mean once the UPS is installed and powering equipment?

It is the maximum real power the inverter can supply continuously; at that level the battery lasts 5.5 minutes, dropping to 16 minutes if the actual draw is roughly half of 2700 W.

The input uses a NEMA L5-30P plug — what does that cap in practice?

The L5-30P connection limits the UPS to a 30 A, 120 V branch circuit, so the 2880 VA rating cannot be exceeded without upgrading the supply circuit.
