3000VA Line-Interactive UPS Comparison for IT and Network Deployments
The Xtreme Power P80-3000 and the Eaton Tripp Lite SM3000RMXLNTAA from Eaton are both high-capacity, line-interactive UPS systems designed to protect servers, network equipment, and critical IT loads in rack-mount environments.
Both platforms provide automatic voltage regulation (AVR), sinewave output, hot-swappable batteries, and support for extended runtime battery packs. Key differences appear in warranty coverage, standard runtime, physical depth, and outlet configuration.
For IT and network environments where reliability, service life, and long-term ownership cost matter, the P80-3000 offers clear advantages.
