Vertiv Liebert PSI5 UPS - 1440VA 1350W 120V 1U Rack Mount AVR

Protect your critical equipment with the Vertiv Liebert PSI5 UPS, a compact yet powerful 1440VA uninterruptible power supply designed for schools, homes, and offices. Built for reliability and ease of deployment, this 1U rack-mount UPS delivers dependable power protection for servers, networking gear, workstations, and essential peripherals. Whether you’re safeguarding a home lab, a classroom presentation setup, or a small business rack, the PSI5 provides clean, stable power and helps extend the life of your devices by buffering them from outages, surges, and voltage fluctuations.

The PSI5 is engineered for versatility and value, delivering essential protection without complexity. Its line-interactive AVR topology means it can compensate for minor power dips and spikes on the incoming line, delivering a regulated output to connected equipment. This feature reduces the risk of data corruption and equipment damage during brownouts, sags, and minor disturbances, letting you work with confidence and preserving uptime when mains quality is less than ideal. For IT teams, teachers, and remote workers alike, the PSI5 offers a practical mix of capacity, efficiency, and rack-friendly form factor that fits neatly into 19-inch equipment racks or on a sturdy shelf with space savings in dense workspaces.

Designed to be user-friendly from install to everyday operation, the PSI5 provides key features you expect from a modern UPS. It protects against the most common power disturbances—outages, brownouts, surges, noise, and line noise—while maintaining a clean waveform designed to minimize electrical stress on sensitive electronics. Its 0.9 power factor maximizes usable output capacity, meaning you can power more critical devices without over-provisioning. Coupled with automatic voltage regulation and a compact 1U form factor, the PSI5 is as practical as it is powerful for practical, real-world deployments where space, cost, and reliability matter most.

In terms of management and maintenance, the Liebert PSI5 is built for straightforward operation and lifecycle management. It typically offers a USB interface for monitoring, diagnostics, and safe shutdown of connected equipment, enabling quick integration with existing IT or AV systems. This makes it easier to perform routine tests, run self-diagnostics, and ensure your systems remain protected even during unattended operations. The combination of solid electrical protection, a user-friendly interface, and a compact rack-mount design makes the PSI5 a compelling choice for people who need dependable power protection without adding complexity or bulk to their setup.

Whether you’re protecting a small business server, a classroom computer lab, a home media center, or a critical network appliance, the PSI5 provides a balanced blend of power, protection, and practicality. With Vertiv’s trusted Liebert brand heritage, you’re choosing a solution designed to deliver consistent performance and peace of mind—even when the electricity grid isn’t perfect. The PSI5 UPS is a smart investment for anyone who values data integrity, equipment longevity, and uninterrupted productivity in demanding environments.
