Tripp Lite SMART3000RMXL2U – 3000 VA / 3000 W Line‑Interactive UPS

Overview

The Tripp Lite SMART3000RMXL2U is a line‑interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) used by IT engineers, data center technicians, and facilities teams to safeguard critical rack‑mount and network infrastructure from outages, brownouts, overvoltages, and transient noise on 120 V single‑phase circuits. It provides line conditioning and battery backup, enabling orderly shutdown or bridging to auxiliary power during brief interruptions, while preserving data integrity and hardware state.

Rated at 3000 VA / 3000 W with a unity power factor, this UPS supplies sustained output for high‑load servers, storage arrays, networking gear, and mixed‑voltage cabinets in small to mid‑sized IT closets or rack environments. Its pure sine‑wave output ensures compatibility with sensitive electronics that require clean AC power.

The SMART3000RMXL2U fits 2U rack/tower deployments in standard 19″ EIA racks, with hardware included for both rackmount and free‑standing installation. A two‑line front‑panel LCD provides real‑time status for input/output voltage, load, battery charge, and runtime.

Communications include USB and DB9 serial interfaces and a slot for an optional WEBCARDLXE network management card (not included) to enable remote monitoring, SNMP/Web integration, and controlled shutdown scripting via management systems.

In practice, this UPS is deployed where moderate‑duration backup and conditioning are needed — for example, bridging to generator start, protecting against typical utility noise events, and allowing controlled application shutdowns. It supports optional external battery packs (e.g., 72 V runtime modules) to extend runtime beyond the internal bank. This model should not be used as a primary source for extended outages without external battery modules or where modular high‑availability UPS arrays are required.
