Description
The SVT20KX SmartOnline® SVTX Series 3-Phase 380/400/415V 20kVA 18kW On-Line Double-
Conversion UPS with IGBT technology provides battery backup and AC power protection against power
disturbances that can damage electronics or destroy data. It’s recommended for critical IT or corporate
infrastructure, telecom, LAN/WAN, security and emergency, financial and light industrial applications.
The SVT20KX’s Voltage and Frequency Independent (VFI) design allows continuous operation at any
supported voltage at either 50 or 60 Hz. Zero transfer time to battery mode ensures no disruption to the
attached loads. Automatic and Manual Bypass keeps connected equipment powered even during
overloads and UPS maintenance.
IGBT inverter technology produces output power with less than 2% total harmonic distortion (THD) to
keep connected equipment functioning at its peak. A 3:1 crest factor safely supports a variety of loads,
even those with wildly fluctuating power demands.
Managing the SVT20KX is simplified through the interactive front-panel LCD interface, which displays
critical operating conditions and diagnostic data, such as load levels, available runtime, alarm status,
battery charge, and voltage and frequency values. Four LEDs indicate bypass, line, battery and fault
modes. A serial port allows connection to Tripp Lite’s free local shutdown agent. A built-in card slot
supports WEBCARDLX or RELAYCARDSV for network interface and remote monitoring and control. The
SVT20KX’s reduced size and small footprint save valuable space.
