Introduction
The APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS RT is a high-performance, uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) that provides protection for electronic equipment from utility power blackouts,
brownouts, sags and surges. The UPS filters small utility line fluctuations and isolates electronic
equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from utility line power. The UPS
provides continuous power from the internal battery until utility power returns to safe levels or the
battery is fully discharged.
