APC Smart-UPS SRT1500XLA 1500VA Sinewave Tower 120V

Product Overview

The APC Smart-UPS SRT1500XLA is a 1500VA / 1350W double-conversion on-line UPS in a tower chassis, providing zero-transfer-time power protection with scalable runtime for commercial AV and IT equipment in non-rack environments. Tower form factor makes it suitable for placement in technology closets, equipment rooms, and commercial spaces without rack infrastructure, while the double-conversion on-line topology delivers continuously clean, regulated power regardless of input conditions. SmartSlot accepts optional APC network management cards, and compatible external battery packs extend runtime for critical loads.

Product Description

The SRT1500XLA is the tower equivalent of the SRT1500RMXLA rackmount, sharing the same double-conversion on-line topology and capacity in a freestanding chassis for non-rack deployments. Commercial AV installations in spaces without equipment racks — technology closets, back-of-house equipment rooms, and large furniture-based AV setups — can specify the SRT1500XLA to obtain on-line UPS protection without rack infrastructure. Pure sine wave output at 1500VA / 1350W protects AV processors, servers, and sensitive electronics from the full spectrum of power quality events including transients, frequency variations, and switching disturbances. External APC SRT battery packs connect to the SRT1500XLA for extended runtime in commercial environments with extended outage requirements. The SmartSlot accommodates optional APC NMC for SNMP and enterprise monitoring. High-efficiency mode reduces operational energy consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SRT1500XLA the tower version of the SRT1500RMXLA?

Yes. Both models share the same 1500VA capacity, double-conversion topology, and feature set. The SRT1500XLA is a tower chassis for non-rack deployments; the SRT1500RMXLA mounts in standard 19-inch racks.

Can I convert the tower to a rackmount later?

The SRT1500XLA is a tower-only chassis. For rackmount deployment, specify the SRT1500RMXLA. Both models are listed on creationnetworks.net.

How does runtime scale with external battery packs?

External APC SRT battery packs add proportional runtime based on battery capacity and connected load. Contact Creation Networks for runtime curve data specific to your AV load profile.
