APC SMT1500CX413 1500 VA Line-Interactive UPS
Overview :
The APC SMT1500CX413 is a 1500 VA/1000 W line-interactive uninterruptible power supply designed to ensure continuity of AC power for critical electronics during utility voltage disturbances and outages. It is deployed by IT engineers, rack administrators, and facilities teams to protect servers, networking gear, storage arrays, VoIP systems, and other essential infrastructure in small server rooms, branch closets, or office environments. The topology includes Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct under- and over-voltages without consuming battery capacity.
Rated for 1440 VA / 1000 W, this UPS delivers pure sine wave output to connected load via 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets with full battery backup and surge protection. It uses an internal sealed lead-acid battery with typical recharge time of ~3 hours and offers real-time status via an integrated LCD panel. Communication interfaces include USB, serial, and SmartConnect for cloud-based monitoring or integration with local management tools.
Physically, the unit is a compact tower form factor with dimensions ~219 × 171 × 439 mm and weighing ~24.6 kg (~54 lb), making it suitable for placement on shelves or desktop spaces in equipment rooms. No built-in rack mounting is included, although third-party adapters could be used where needed.
In a network hierarchy, the SMT1500CX413 fits edge and small rack segments where conditioned backup power is required to sustain operations long enough for orderly shutdowns or short utility outages. It supports SmartSlot expansion for optional network management cards and can integrate with centralized power management ecosystems.
A practical deployment involves protecting a branch office rack with virtualized hosts and storage against brownouts and surges, providing sufficient runtime for orderly shutdown under extended outages. This model should not be used in high-density core data center racks requiring online double-conversion topology where continuous isolation from mains is mandatory.
