P80-3000V2 vs CyberPower PR3000RT2U
The Xtreme Power P80-3000V2 and CyberPower PR3000RT2U are 120V pure sine wave line-interactive 2U rack UPS with a 30 A L5-30P input and an L5-30R output. The PR3000RT2U is unity power factor and rates higher real watts (3000 W vs 2700 W); the P80-3000V2 is the TAA-compliant alternative that adds external-battery extended runtime, lighter weight, an optional maintenance bypass, and wall/2-post mounting.
What the P80-3000V2 brings
- TAA compliant for federal and regulated procurement (the standard PR3000RT2U is not TAA).
- Supports external battery packs for extended runtime — the PR3000RT2U is internal-battery only.
- 67.1 lb vs approx 76.5 lb — roughly 9 lb lighter.
- Optional 30 A XBDM maintenance bypass for service without dropping the load (CyberPower: none).
- Tower, wall, 2-post and 4-post mounting (CyberPower: rack / tower).
- Up to 99% ECO-mode efficiency and a 3-year UPS & battery warranty.

Both are 3000-class 2U line-interactive AVR pure sine UPS through an L5-30P input and L5-30R output. The PR3000RT2U rates higher real watts (3000 W vs 2700 W, unity PF) and is the shallower chassis with more onboard outlets. The P80-3000V2 leads on TAA compliance, extended runtime via external battery packs (the PR3000RT2U is internal-battery only), weight, an optional 30 A maintenance bypass, and mounting flexibility. Confirm CyberPower specifications against current CyberPower documentation.
Choosing between them
If you need maximum watts in the box, the shallowest chassis, and the most onboard outlets, the PR3000RT2U is strong. Choose the P80-3000V2 when you need TAA compliance, the ability to add external battery packs, a lighter chassis, or wall/2-post mounting.
Choose the P80-3000V2 if you need
- TAA-compliant procurement at 3 kVA
- Extended runtime via external battery packs
- A lighter chassis to handle and service
- A 30 A XBDM maintenance bypass for in-place service
- Wall / 2-post branch and edge installations
The PR3000RT2U may fit if you need
- Maximum real watts in the box (unity PF)
- The shallowest 2U chassis (approx 19.7 in)
- The most onboard outlets in the box
