The 2000VA / 2200VA 120V UPS class is one of the most widely deployed in North America because it delivers the highest usable power—up to 2000 watts—from a standard 120V, 20A dedicated circuit. This allows you to support heavier loads, extend runtime, and reduce the number of UPS units required per rack.
Xtreme Power offers the industry’s most complete selection of 2000VA and 2200VA UPS systems, offered in cost-effective VRLA models and long-life Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) models with up to 15-year battery life.

Why 2000VA / 2200VA Matters
- Up to 2000W from a standard 20A receptacle—no electrical upgrades needed
- Ideal watt output for servers, switches, PoE, AV equipment, and industrial systems
- Available in tower, rack/tower, and ultra-dense 1U configurations
- Extended runtime options available on most models
- LFP models offer up to 15-year battery life and lowest total cost of ownership
Why Watt Rating Matters More Than VA
VA ratings can be misleading. The watt rating (W) reflects the real usable power your equipment can draw.
| UPS Type | Power Factor | Usable Watts | Benefit |
| Line-Interactive | 0.9 PF | 1800–2000W | Ideal for IT, AV, commercial & industrial loads |
| Online Double-Conversion | Up to 0.97 PF | 1800–1930W | Full power conditioning & maximum usable wattage |
Xtreme Power delivers among the highest watt ratings available in the 120V 20A class.
120V 20A UPS Applications
20A UPS systems are commonly used in:
- Server racks & edge compute
- Industrial automation controls
- Broadcast & AV production
- High-density PoE switch stacks

Frequently Asked Questions — 2000VA & 2200VA UPS
- What does 2000VA mean on a UPS?
A. 2000VA refers to apparent power. Real usable power depends on watt rating. Xtreme Power models deliver 1800–2000W, the highest practical output from a standard 120V 20A circuit. - How many watts can a 2000VA/2200VA UPS support?
A. It depends on the power factor:
- Line-interactive units = 1800–2000W
- Online units = 1800–1930W
- Do I need a special outlet for a 2000VA UPS?
A. No. All models operate on a standard 120V, 20A dedicated circuit. - How long will a 2000VA UPS run?
A. At 900W load:
- VRLA models: 11–19 minutes
- LFP models: 12–27 minutes
Extended runtime models can run for hours with added battery packs.
- What is the difference between VRLA and LFP batteries?
VRLA = lower cost, but 3–5-year life.
LFP = up to 15 years, higher temperature tolerance, maintenance-free. - Which 2000VA UPS is best for long-term reliability?
A. P91-2kLi and J90-2kLi, both using LFP batteries rated for up to 15 years. - Do 2000VA UPS systems support extended battery packs?
A. Yes. Models supporting extended battery packs include:
P80-2000, P80-2200, T91-2000, P91-2000, J90-2kLi - What makes LFP safer than other lithium chemistries?
A. LFP is inherently stable, non-flammable, and does not experience thermal runaway. It is approved for healthcare, government, and mission-critical environments. - What is the difference between 2000VA and 2200VA?
A. 2200VA models (like P80-2200) typically deliver 2000W, allowing heavier loads than many 2000VA units.
