Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Models with different plug types
Introduction
When planning to install a low voltage (100-127V) Smart-UPS X models 2000VA and higher, care must be taken
to ensure that the proper receptacle is available at the installation site to match the input plug on the UPS. The
table below highlights the plug types found on the new 2000-3000VA Smart-ups models:
MX2000RMLV2U
S
NEMA 5-20P
SMX2200RMLV2U
SMX3000RMLV2U
SMX3000RMLV2UNC
NEMA L5-30P
Because other receptacles are common in this segment the new models are equipped with rem oval pl ugs so
that the user can safely and easily replace the input plug without voiding the product warranty. NEMA style plugs
are readily available from most hardware stores and many online retailers. However, it is important to note that
the load capacity rating may be constrained by the current limits placed on the input plug. In North Amer ica the
National Electric Code sets limits on the steady state current at 80% of the maximum plug rating. For example,
for a 20amp plug (such as the NEMEA 5-20P) the maximum steady state current is limited to 16 amperes. This
document briefly outlines the ratings of the new SMX 2000-3000VA models with different input plugs and
provides guidance on choosing the proper replacement model if you are transitioning from the older generation

Indicates the rating as shipped. Note the 2000 ships with a NEMA 5-20P input plug.
The table below illustrates the maximum suggested UPS output rating for each plug size, identified by
amperage, for each of the new low volta ge Smart-UPS models. Note that since these units have user adjustable
output voltage, the maximum output rating may also vary by the nominal voltage selected. The yellow shaded
cells illustrate the ratings as supplied out of the box. Those values wil l also always be used by the UPS to
calculate percent of load capacity.

Note that we do not support putting a 30amp plug on the SMX2000RMLV2U as the cord is only rated for a 20 amp
plug.
