Description
APC Smart-UPS SMT2200CUS — 2200VA Tower Line-Interactive UPS
The SMT2200CUS delivers 2200VA / 1980W of clean pure sine wave power in a tower form factor designed for 120V environments. As part of APC's Smart-UPS line-interactive series, it provides Automatic Voltage Regulation to correct utility brownouts and surges without unnecessary battery cycling — the practical difference between a UPS that lasts five years and one that needs new batteries in two.
Why Line-Interactive UPS for This Load Range?
Line-interactive topology sits between basic standby UPS (no voltage regulation) and double-conversion on-line UPS (continuous inverter operation). For loads in the 2200VA range serving servers, network equipment, and VoIP infrastructure, line-interactive provides the right balance of power quality, energy efficiency, and acquisition cost. Connected equipment sees clean pure sine wave output during voltage events, but the unit doesn't waste energy or battery life converting power continuously when utility power is acceptable.
Key Features
- Pure Sine Wave Output: Delivers a clean pure sine wave to connected equipment. Active PFC power supplies common in modern servers and storage arrays will throw errors or shut down on the simulated/stepped-wave output produced by entry-level UPS units; pure sine eliminates that risk.
- Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): AVR uses a buck-and-boost transformer stage to bring out-of-range utility voltage back to nominal levels in real time. The UPS only transitions to battery for true outages, which significantly extends battery service life.
- APC SmartConnect Cloud Port: SmartConnect cloud connectivity provides remote status visibility, event alerts, and firmware update notifications through the APC SmartConnect web portal. Useful for distributed sites where deploying a dedicated NMC is impractical.
- SmartSlot Expansion Bay: The SmartSlot bay accepts APC accessory cards including the AP9641 Network Management Card 3 for SNMP/web management, environmental monitoring modules, and dry-contact modules for building automation integration.
- LCD Diagnostic Display: The intuitive LCD interface displays load, runtime, voltage, frequency, and historical events. Technicians can verify operating conditions and adjust thresholds directly at the unit.
- User-Replaceable Battery: The battery cartridge is field-replaceable by IT staff — no service technician dispatch required. Questyme stocks compatible genuine APC replacement cartridges for fast turnaround.
- PowerChute Compatibility: Graceful shutdown of physical servers, hypervisor hosts, and HCI clusters through PowerChute Business Edition or PowerChute Network Shutdown.
