APC Smart-UPS SRT 5000VA 230V — On-Line, Rack/Tower
The SRT5KXLI is a 5000VA / 4500W double-conversion on-line UPS: it rebuilds the output waveform continuously rather than switching to battery, so the load never experiences a transfer. Pure sine wave at 230V, a 100–275V adjustable input range, internal automatic and manual bypass, and a Network Management Card 3 already fitted with a year of Secure NMC. Runtime scales with up to ten SRT192BP external battery packs. Built for servers and storage, voice and data networks, medical labs and light industrial loads across Dubai and the UAE, in rack or tower form.
Quick Glance
Key Features
On-Line, Not Line-Interactive
Double conversion rebuilds the waveform continuously rather than switching to battery when the mains misbehaves, so the load never sees a transfer. That is what makes it suitable for medical labs and light industrial gear as well as servers, and it is the real difference from a Smart-UPS C or BX.
Runtime That Scales to Ten Packs
The internal batteries run on a 192V bus and recharge in about 1.5 hours. Up to ten SRT192BP external packs can be added when the load needs to ride out far more than a clean shutdown, so runtime is a purchasing decision rather than a fixed limit.
Network Card 3 Already Fitted
A Network Management Card 3 with environmental monitoring is pre-installed, with a one-year Secure NMC subscription included, plus serial, USB, emergency power off and one free SmartSlot. The UPS is manageable from the moment it is racked.
Detailed Specifications

- Temperature probe supplied in the box
Specifications from Schneider Electric’s product datasheet for the SRT5KXLI (se.com, UAE). The datasheet does not distinguish C13 from C19 among the ten IEC 60320 outlets, and no efficiency figure is quoted here because the published row could not be read unambiguously. Ask us and we will confirm either against the unit.
Need-to-Know
- The input is HARD WIRED — 3-wire (1P + N + E), not a plug. Budget for an electrician to terminate it, and confirm the supply before delivery day.
- It weighs 54.43 kg unboxed and 63.6 kg packaged. Plan a two-person lift and check the rack or floor position before it arrives.
- Rack/tower convertible, but the rail kit (SRTRK2 or SRTRK3) is sold separately — it is not in the box.
- Schneider’s datasheet lists the outlets as 6 × IEC 60320, 4 × IEC 60320 and 2 × IEC jumpers, without stating which are C13 and which are C19. Ask us to confirm against your PDU and cables before you order.
Best For / Customer Benefits
Customer Benefits
- Double conversion means the load never sees a transfer, which is what sensitive medical and industrial equipment is usually specified against.
- Runtime is a decision, not a limit — up to ten external battery packs can be added as the load or the expectation grows.
- The network card is already fitted with a year of Secure NMC, so remote monitoring and alerts work from the day it is racked, with no extra purchase.
- Internal automatic and manual bypass means the UPS can be serviced without dropping the load.
- Schneider covers this model for 36 months on the UPS and 24 on the battery, longer than much of the APC range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Topology. The SRT is double-conversion on-line: it rebuilds the output waveform continuously, so the load never experiences a transfer when the mains dips or fails. A Smart-UPS C is line-interactive — very good, but it switches to battery. For medical lab equipment, light industrial gear and sensitive servers, on-line is the specification that is usually being asked for.
No. The SRT5KXLI input is hard wired, 3-wire (1P + N + E). It has to be terminated into the supply by an electrician rather than plugged into a socket, so factor that into installation. Tell us where it is going and we will flag what the site needs.
Runtime depends entirely on the load you put on it, so we would rather size it with you than quote a number. It is designed to extend: up to ten SRT192BP external battery packs can be added on the 192V bus. The internal batteries recharge in about 1.5 hours.
Yes. A Network Management Card 3 with environmental monitoring is pre-installed and a one-year Secure NMC subscription is included, so you get network monitoring, alerts and a temperature probe from day one. There is also serial, USB, emergency power off and one free SmartSlot.
Schneider states 36 months on the UPS and 24 months on the battery for this model. That is longer than the standard two years on much of the APC range, and worth knowing when comparing quotes. We handle registration and any claim locally.
