APC Smart-UPS RT 10kVA Scalable to 10kVA Rack/Tower with Two Step-Down Transformer
APC Smart-UPS RT 10kVA Scalable to 10kVA with Two Step-Down Transformer delivers high-performance power protection with scalable runtime for space-constrained computer rooms, voice and data networks, medical labs, and light industrial applications. Built around double-conversion online topology, this uninterruptible power supply (UPS) delivers a clean, continuous sine wave output even during brownouts and power outages, helping keep critical equipment online and safeguarded against surges, noise, and transients. The scalable runtime design allows you to add battery capacity as your load grows, making it ideal for evolving data centers and hybrid IT environments. Its flexible rack/tower form factor supports quick deployment in tight spaces, while the integrated two-step-down transformer ensures stabilized voltages to sensitive devices, enhancing equipment longevity and reducing maintenance concerns. Whether protecting servers, storage, networking gear, medical devices, or control systems, the APC Smart-UPS RT 10kVA is engineered to maximize uptime and minimize total cost of ownership.
- Unmatched power protection with online double-conversion topology: Delivers a consistent, perfectly conditioned output by continuously converting incoming AC power to DC and then back to AC, shielding connected equipment from harmonics, outages, and voltage sags. This results in a pristine power signal for sensitive IT gear, ensuring reliable operation and data integrity even during disturbances on the electrical grid.
- Scalable runtime for growing loads: Start with your base capacity and extend runtime later using optional battery modules. The scalable architecture allows you to tailor backup time to match your maintenance windows, reducing downtime risk during planned or unplanned interruptions and giving your team more time to safely save work and shut down systems gracefully.
- Rack-to-tower flexibility with a two-step-down transformer: Designed to fit into standard IT spaces, it can be mounted in a rack or configured as a tower. The integrated two-step-down transformer delivers stable, usable output to outlets and attached equipment, helping protect devices that require consistent voltages and improving overall reliability in mixed-voltage environments.
- Intelligent management and remote monitoring: Built for easy integration with existing IT management workflows, the UPS supports common management interfaces and software for monitoring, scheduled shutdowns, and alerting. This enables proactive maintenance, asset tracking, and rapid response to power events from a central console or remote location.
- Compact design with space-saving deployment: A compact footprint and modular design optimize space in data centers, clinics, and labs. The combination of a scalable runtime model and space-efficient form factor minimizes rack real estate while delivering enterprise-grade protection for critical loads.

How to Install APC Smart-UPS RT 10kVA Scalable to 10kVA Rack/Tower with Two Step-Down Transformer
- Plan installation location: Select a well-ventilated area with adequate clearance for cooling and access to battery modules and cabling. Ensure the chosen space supports rack mounting if you plan to install in a standard server rack.
- Choose the configuration: Decide between rack-mount or tower orientation based on your space constraints and IT layout. Ensure mounting rails or feet are included and compatible with your rack model.
- Mount the UPS securely: Install the UPS securely in the rack or place it on a stable surface if configured as a tower. Use all provided mounting hardware and ensure proper weight distribution.
- Connect input power: Connect the UPS input to a dedicated circuit or appropriate power source according to regional electrical standards. Use proper cable sizing and protective devices as required by local electrical codes.
- Connect loads and distribution: Plug critical devices into the UPS outlets or distribution panels. Do not exceed the UPS’s rated load to preserve performance and warranty coverage.
- Attach management interfaces: Connect USB/Serial cables for local management and, if applicable, install and configure the Network Management Card for remote monitoring and alerts.
- Power-up and initial configuration: Turn on the UPS, allow batteries to charge, and perform an initial self-test. Configure alert thresholds, shutdown settings, and scheduling via the management software or console interface.
- Test the system: Simulate a power disturbance to verify transfer performance, runtime behavior, and graceful shutdown procedures for protected equipment.
