SurgeX UPS-3000-LI-ISO UPS with Isolation Transformer, 120V

Product Overview

The SurgeX UPS-3000-LI-ISO is the top-capacity model in SurgeX's rack-mount UPS + Isolation Transformer line, combining line-interactive battery backup with a built-in low-impedance isolation transformer. It's built for AV racks and home theater systems that need continuous power and isolated, conditioned electrical service without the footprint of a large-format UPS.

Product Description

Most rack-mount UPS units provide battery backup but leave ground and neutral referenced back at the main breaker panel, which can leave sensitive AV gear exposed to noise picked up elsewhere on the branch circuit. The UPS-3000-LI-ISO's low-impedance isolation transformer establishes a new neutral-ground bond at the rack itself rather than at the panel, separating ground and neutral voltage to eliminate the anomalies that cause lockups and downtime on sensitive electronic systems. As the highest-capacity model in the LI-ISO line, it covers larger racks or higher connected loads than the UPS-1440-LI-ISO or UPS-2200-LI-ISO. Line-interactive UPS technology delivers a 0.9 output power factor with true sine-wave output, and a stated 4-millisecond transfer time keeps connected equipment running through a utility outage. The isolation transformer additionally blocks high-frequency electrical noise and harmonics from reaching connected loads, which matters in racks that combine AV signal processing with switched-mode IT power supplies on the same circuit. Advanced SNMP communication capability and a user-friendly GUI support remote monitoring and diagnostics, an auto battery test flags a weakening battery before it fails, and a hot-swappable battery lets a technician replace it without powering down connected equipment. For AV integrators who need UPS backup and isolation-transformer-grade power conditioning in one rack space rather than two separate devices, that combination is the main draw of the LI-ISO line over a standard UPS.

Key Features

• Built-In Low-Impedance Isolation Transformer — Establishes a new neutral-ground bond at the rack, reducing lockups and downtime on sensitive AV and IT equipment.
• Line-Interactive UPS Technology — 0.9 output power factor with true sine-wave output.
• Fast Transfer Time — A stated 4ms transfer time to battery during a power event.
• Harmonic and Noise Filtration — Blocks high-frequency electrical noise and harmonics from reaching connected loads.
• Advanced SNMP Communication — Supports remote monitoring and diagnostics via a user-friendly GUI.
• Auto Battery Test and Hot-Swappable Battery — Flags battery degradation early and allows replacement without powering down connected equipment.
• Highest Capacity in the LI-ISO Line — Covers larger racks or higher connected loads than the UPS-1440 or UPS-2200 models.

Typical Applications

• Conference room
• Commercial meeting space
• Broadcast studio
• Multi-purpose room

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the isolation transformer do that a standard UPS doesn't?
It establishes a new neutral-ground bond at the rack rather than the main panel, separating ground and neutral voltage to eliminate anomalies that cause lockups and downtime on sensitive electronic systems.

How does the UPS-3000-LI-ISO compare to the UPS-2200-LI-ISO?
It's the higher-capacity model in the same LI-ISO line, sized for larger racks or higher connected loads while sharing the same isolation transformer and line-interactive technology.

Can the battery be replaced without a shutdown?
Yes, the battery is hot-swappable, and an auto battery test flags degradation before it becomes a failure.

Does it support remote monitoring?
Yes, via advanced SNMP communication and a GUI-based diagnostics interface.

What warranty does SurgeX provide?
SurgeX publishes its current warranty terms on ametekesp.com; contact Creation Networks for the specific coverage period applicable to this model.

What support does Creation Networks provide after installation?
Creation Networks can assist with rack installation, SNMP monitoring setup, and ongoing support as part of a service agreement.
