Single-Phase UPS

Single-phase UPS

Single-phase UPS

Single-phase UPS for desks, closets, racks and equipment cabinets, at 120V and 208/230V. Lithium models last longer and handle heat; standby and line-interactive models cover everyday loads at a lower price. For online double-conversion lead-acid and modular systems, see the online UPS page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between standby, line-interactive and online UPS?
A standby UPS passes utility power straight through and switches to battery when it fails. Line-interactive adds voltage regulation, so it corrects sags and surges without using the battery. Online double-conversion regenerates the output continuously, so there is no transfer time at all. The more sensitive or critical the load, the further along that list you should go.
Why choose a lithium UPS?
LiFePO4 batteries are rated for up to 15 years, against 3 to 5 for lead acid, and operate to 50 °C. They are smaller and lighter, and over the life of the UPS they usually cost less because you avoid one or two battery replacements.
How do I size a single-phase UPS?
Add up the load in watts, keep it under 80 percent of the UPS watt rating, then check the runtime you need at that load. The UPS selector does this for you, or our engineers can size it from a list of equipment.
Should I choose 120V or 208/230V?
Match the equipment and the receptacle. Most North American office and network equipment runs at 120V; larger servers and international installations often run at 208V or 230V. Models with an "i" or "g" suffix are the 208/230V versions.
Are these UPS TAA compliant?
Most are. See the TAA-compliant single-phase UPS page for the current list of models.
