APC 3000VA 230V Smart-UPS C LCD (SMC3000I)

APC 3000VA 230V Smart-UPS C LCD (SMC3000I)

The APC 3000VA 230V Smart-UPS C LCD(SMC3000I) provides comprehensive power protection with 3000VA/2100W capacity for high-density server installations and critical infrastructure. This Smart-UPS C model features an informative LCD display that presents key operational metrics in an accessible format. Additionally, the tower configuration allows flexible placement in server rooms, data closets, or office environments where rack mounting is not required.

Automatic voltage regulation technology maintains consistent power delivery while preserving battery capacity for actual outages. The SMC3000I electronically corrects voltage fluctuations through its boost and trim circuitry without switching to battery mode. Consequently, the unit handles brownouts and overvoltage situations efficiently without reducing battery lifespan through unnecessary discharge cycles. This intelligent approach to power conditioning extends operational availability and minimizes maintenance requirements.

Advanced power management features provide administrators with precise control over connected equipment during both normal operations and power events. The SMC3000I supports configurable settings that adapt protection thresholds to local electrical conditions and equipment sensitivities. Meanwhile, the unit performs automatic self-diagnostics to verify system integrity and identify potential issues proactively. Organizations benefit from enhanced reliability through continuous health monitoring and early warning notifications.
