Tripp Lite SmartOnline S3MX Series 3‑Phase 380/400/415V 40 kVA 36 kW On‑Line Double‑Conversion UPS

SmartOnline S3MX Series 3-Phase 380/400/415V 40kVA 36kW On-Line Double-Conversion UPS, Parallel for Capacity and Redundancy, Single & Dual AC Input, With 12V-9Ah Delta batteries

Overview & Purpose

A 3‑phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed for mission‑critical environments like data centers, communications rooms, industrial facilities, server racks, and enterprise infrastructure. It delivers clean, continuous power and protects equipment from outages, sags, surges, and frequency variations via true on‑line double‑conversion technology.

Key Specifications

⚡ Power & Performance

• Capacity: 40 kVA / 36 kW (continuous)
• UPS Topology: On‑line double conversion (true VFI)
• Input Voltage: 3‑phase 380/400/415 V (also compatible with 220/230/240 V ranges)
• Input Current Max: ~61 A
• Output Voltage: Same as input ±1 %
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz auto‑selection
• Power Factor: ~0.9 (output) / ~0.99 (input)
• Efficiency: ~94 % in full on‑line mode; up to ~98 % in ECO/standby mode
• Waveform: Pure sinewave output

🔋 Batteries & Runtime

• Runtime: Typical internal battery runtime ~5 min at full load and ~14 min at half load before shutdown (internal 10 Ah)
• Expandable Runtime: Yes—external battery cabinets (e.g., BP480V series) can extend runtime significantly (sold separately)
• Recharge Time: ~9 h to 90 %
• Support: Zero transfer time between mains and battery

🔧 Parallel Capability
Up to 3 units can be run in parallel for increased capacity or redundancy (N+1 or N+N configurations).

📡 Management & Interfaces

• Display: Intuitive front LCD with real‑time status, configuration, and alerts.
• Remote Monitoring: Optional network management card (WEBCARDLX / PADM20) supports SNMP/HTTP/SSH etc.
• Comms Ports: Ethernet and RS‑232 common for remote monitoring tools.

📏 Physical

• Form Factor: Tower / external UPS
• Size: ~1000 × 300 × 815 mm (H×W×D)
• Weight: ~315 kg (unit + batteries)
• Noise: ~60 dBA operational noise

🛡️ Warranty & Compliance

• Typically includes a 2‑year limited warranty.
• Compliance to relevant safety and UPS standards (e.g., IEC/EN 62040).

What This Means in Practice

• Continuous Clean Power: True on‑line double‑conversion ensures consistent voltage and frequency regardless of mains quality.
• Scalable & Redundant: You can add parallel units and external batteries as your load grows or if uptime requirements increase.
• Remote Monitoring: Optional management cards let you monitor and control the UPS over the network.
• Ideal Use Cases: Data centers, server rooms, telecom hubs, industrial automation power protection, and edge infrastructure.

Primary Applications

1. Data Centers & Server Rooms
   • Provides clean, uninterrupted power for servers, storage systems, and networking equipment, preventing downtime and data loss.
2. Telecommunications & Network Infrastructure
   • Ensures continuous operation of telecom switches, base stations, and network routers in environments with unstable mains power.
3. Industrial Automation & Control Systems
   • Protects PLCs, control panels, and critical machinery from power interruptions or voltage fluctuations that could halt production.
4. Healthcare Facilities
   • Supports medical equipment, monitoring systems, and laboratory instruments requiring highly reliable power.
5. Financial Institutions & Banking
   • Maintains uptime for ATMs, trading platforms, and core banking servers.
6. Government & Critical Facilities
   • Secures operations in emergency services, airports, and other mission-critical infrastructures.
7. Enterprise IT & Edge Computing
   • Ideal for distributed IT sites, edge servers, and other sensitive computing equipment requiring stable, high-quality power.
8. Parallel & Redundant Configurations
   • Can be deployed in N+1 or N+N redundancy setups for high-availability environments, ensuring zero downtime even during maintenance or UPS failure.

Essentially, it’s designed for any environment where power interruptions or voltage anomalies could disrupt operations, damage equipment, or cause data loss.
