Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartOnline SV Series 40kVA UPS System

The Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartOnline SV Series SV40KM2P4B is a high-performance, 3-phase uninterruptible power supply designed for critical applications where uptime is non-negotiable. This 40 kVA, on-line double-conversion UPS combines a modular, scalable architecture with voltage and frequency independent (VFI) operation to deliver clean, continuous power to data centers, server rooms, network closets, and other mission-sensitive environments. With four battery modules included, the SV40KM2P4B is ready to deploy with extended runtime and flexible maintenance options, enabling businesses to protect their equipment, data, and workloads from power disturbances, brownouts, and outages. This medium-frame, modular system is engineered to grow with your load, allowing you to add capacity and redundancy as your infrastructure expands, without sacrificing performance or reliability.

• Modular, scalable design for growth and simplicity: The SV Series is purpose-built for expansion, enabling you to add capacity or redundancy as your critical loads increase. Its modular architecture supports hot-swappable components, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades and delivering long-term investment protection.
• True online double-conversion power (VFI): With voltage and frequency independent (VFI) operation, this UPS delivers isolated, clean power to sensitive IT equipment. The on-line, double-conversion topology continuously regenerates a stable output, bouncing back quickly from input sags, surges, and transient anomalies while maintaining precise voltage and frequency for connected loads.
• 40 kVA / 32 kW capacity for mid-to-large critical loads: This SV40KM2P4B model provides robust reserve for servers, storage, virtualization hosts, network gear, and other essential devices. At 0.8 power factor, it delivers up to 32 kW of usable power, offering headroom for growth and peak processing demands.
• 208/120V 3-phase output for enterprise compatibility: Built to support data centers and professional IT environments, the UPS delivers stable 208/120V three-phase output with reliable performance across multiple equipment racks and load centers, ensuring consistent operation of critical infrastructure.
• Four battery modules included for extended runtime: The system ships with four battery modules, providing extended runtime without needing immediate additional components. This configuration also supports easier maintenance, hot-swapping, and faster recovery from discharge events.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartOnline SV Series 40kVA UPS

• Plan the installation by assessing load requirements, available space, ventilation, grounding, and accessibility for maintenance. Ensure the chosen location is within reach of input power and output distribution, and complies with local electrical codes and safety standards.
• Position the UPS cabinet in a sturdy, level environment. Install it in a rack or on a dedicated base/stand as recommended by the manufacturer, ensuring proper clearance for cooling and service access.
• Connect the 3-phase input power to the UPS using appropriately rated cables and protection devices. Verify electrical isolation and confirm that power is de-energized during connection to prevent shock or equipment damage.
• Install and connect the four included battery modules, following the provided polarity and sequencing guidelines. Allow for a controlled initial charging period as specified in the user manual before applying full load.
• Connect critical loads to the 208/120 VAC output and configure the UPS management interface (network, SNMP/WEB where available) for monitoring, alerts, and battery health reporting. Perform a controlled startup, then run a capability test to verify transfer times, runtime, and load handling.
• Document the installation, including wiring diagrams, management settings, and maintenance schedules. Plan ongoing checks for battery health, firmware updates, and environmental conditions to maximize uptime and reliability.
