Description
The APC Easy UPS SRV2KRA-TW is a professional-grade 2000VA/1600W online uninterruptible power supply designed for high-availability environments. Utilizing true double-conversion technology, it isolates connected equipment from raw utility power, delivering a pure sine wave output with zero millisecond transfer time. This rackmount unit is essential for protecting sensitive electronics in regions with frequent voltage fluctuations or electrical noise, ensuring that mission-critical systems remain operational without interruption.
This product is for:
- IT Managers overseeing small to medium server rooms requiring reliable rack-mounted power protection.
- Network Administrators managing edge computing sites and telecommunications equipment.
- Laboratory Technicians operating sensitive diagnostic or analytical instruments that demand stable voltage.
- Small Business Owners looking to protect Point-of-Sale (POS) systems and back-office workstations from data loss.
- Audio/Video Professionals needing clean power to prevent interference in high-end production setups.

Operating the SRV2KRA-TW offers peace of mind through its intuitive LCD interface, which provides real-time status updates on load levels and battery health. The unit handles high-inrush currents effectively, making it suitable for a variety of inductive loads. Its rack-optimized design integrates seamlessly into standard 19-inch cabinets using the SRVRK1 or SRVRK2 rail kits, while the software-controlled shutdown feature ensures graceful system closure during extended outages, preventing file corruption and hardware damage.
Compared to traditional line-interactive UPS systems, the SRV2KRA-TW offers superior protection by constantly regenerating power, eliminating the momentary switch-over gap that can crash sensitive servers. While entry-level backup units focus primarily on runtime, this online model prioritizes power quality and precise voltage regulation. It provides a more robust solution than the 1000VA variants for users with higher power density requirements or those planning for future hardware expansion within a 120V infrastructure.
Q&A:
- What is the benefit of double-conversion online technology? It ensures zero transfer time to battery and provides the highest level of power conditioning by converting AC to DC and back to AC.
- Can I manage this UPS remotely? Yes, by installing the optional APV9601 Network Management Card, you can monitor and control the UPS via a web browser or SNMP.
- What type of input plug does this unit use? It uses a NEMA L5-20P twist-lock plug, which requires a matching 20A 120V receptacle for operation.
- Is the rack mounting hardware included? The unit is compatible with SRVRK1 and SRVRK2 rail kits, which are used to secure the device within a standard server rack.
- How does the software shutdown work? The UPS connects to your server via a communication port, allowing the included software to trigger an automated shutdown sequence when battery levels are low.
