Description

Tripp Lite SU16KRT8 16,000VA / 16kVA / 14,400 watt online, double-conversion UPS system offers complete power protection for critical server,
network and telecommunications equipment in a 12U rack/tower configuration. This system delivers complete N+1 redundancy when used at loads
up to 8kVA, and non-redundant operation at loads between 8 and 16kVA. Fault-tolerant auto-bypass prevents unexpected service interruptions
during UPS overload or internal fault conditions. Included parallel PDU with manual bypass switching enables hot-swappable replacement of all major
UPS system components in both N+1 and combined operating modes. Enhanced availability, fault tolerance and simple hot-swap replacement
options make this UPS ideal for advanced networking applications in data centers, computer rooms, network closets and rugged industrial locations.

Package Includes

Two SU8000RT3UPM UPS power modules
Two BP240V10RT3U battery packs
SUPDMB20K8 Parallel PDU with Bypass switch
4-post rackmount installation rails
PowerAlert software and cabling
