Economical, entry-level 3-phase UPS system protects connected mission-critical equipment against
damage, downtime and data loss due to blackouts, brownouts, power surges and line noise.
Description
The SVT20KX SmartOnline® SVTX Series 3-Phase 380/400/415V 20kVA 18kW On-Line DoubleConversion 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.
Highlights
●
On-line double-conversion
topology, VFI operation
●
Automatic and Manual Bypass
for enhanced reliability
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.

USER INTERFACE, ALERTS & CONTROLS
Front Panel LCD DisplayLCD DISPLAY: offers a variety of graphical, text and numeric information to indicate a wide range of UPS operation
and fault / warning conditions, including current operating mode, alarm status, load level, battery charge, input /
output voltage & frequency, estimated runtime and more (see user manual for a detailed listing)
SwitchesON / ENTER BUTTON: turns the UPS on and confirms a selection from the settings menu; OFF / ESC BUTTON:
turns off the UPS and returns to the previous item in the settings menu; TEST / UP BUTTON: initiates UPS self-test
operation and advances to the next item in the settings menu; MUTE / DOWN BUTTON: silences the audible alarm
and advances to the previous item in the settings menu; Press TEST/UP & MUTE/DOWN buttons simultaneously for
1 second to enter or exit the settings menu (See user manual for detailed information)
Audible AlarmAlarms warn users of a variety of operational conditions: BYPASS MODE (beeps every 2 seconds), BATTERY
MODE (beeps every 4 seconds), FAULT MODE (beeps continuously), OVERLOAD (beeps twice per second),
OTHER WARNINGS (beeps once per second), FAULT (beeps continuously); All alarms can be silenced, except
OVERLOAD & OTHER WARNINGS conditions
