Eaton SU5000RTF – 5000VA UPS with Stepdown Transformer

Product Overview

The Eaton SU5000RTF is a 5000VA/4500W online double-conversion UPS with a built-in stepdown transformer, purpose-built for facilities running 208V distribution that need to power 120V equipment. It is a strong fit for a commercial UPS battery backup installation feeding an AV rack, broadcast control room, or data center row where mixed-voltage loads are common. The pre-installed cybersecure network card enables SNMP-based remote monitoring, making this a practical online double-conversion UPS for data center and integrator deployments that require centralized power management.

Product Description

The SU5000RTF pairs a true online double-conversion UPS with an integrated SUTFMR stepdown transformer that converts 208V input down to 120V output, eliminating the need for a separate transformer when 120V-only AV or IT gear is fed from a 208V panel. This 6U rack/tower unit provides continuous voltage regulation and near-instant transfer to battery, isolating connected equipment from blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise on the incoming feed. It is well suited as a rack-mount UPS for AV rack systems that combine legacy 120V devices with modern 208V equipment on the same circuit, as well as broadcast studios and government or corporate data closets that cannot tolerate voltage mismatches. The unit ships with a pre-installed cybersecure network card, giving facilities staff and integrators SNMP visibility into UPS status, load, and battery health without adding third-party monitoring hardware. With 18x 5-20R outlets plus L6-20R and L6-30R receptacles, the SU5000RTF can power a wide mix of rack PDUs, switchers, and server equipment from a single UPS. This makes it a solid choice wherever a commercial UPS battery backup installation must bridge 208V distribution and 120V load requirements reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the stepdown transformer need to be configured separately?

No, the SUTFMR stepdown transformer is integrated into the SU5000RTF chassis and factory-configured for 208V input to 120V output, so no separate transformer or additional wiring is required at commissioning.

Can this UPS be rack-mounted in a standard AV or IT rack?

Yes, the SU5000RTF ships as a 6U rack/tower unit and includes rack-mounting hardware for standard 19-inch rack integration.

What monitoring options are available for facilities or IT staff?

The unit includes a pre-installed cybersecure network card that provides SNMP-based remote monitoring of load, battery status, and alarms, compatible with common network management platforms.

What is covered under the manufacturer warranty?

Eaton provides a 2-year limited warranty covering parts, electronics, and batteries, with standard ground shipping and manufacturer technical support included.

Can the SU5000RTF support extended runtime for longer outages?

The unit is compatible with external battery packs for extended runtime configurations; contact Creation Networks to confirm compatible battery pack models for your load requirements.

Is this UPS suitable for mixed 120V and 208V equipment loads?

Yes, the integrated transformer and multiple outlet types allow it to simultaneously serve 120V devices and 208V-fed equipment from the same unit.
