Description
Tripp Lite SU20KRT-1TF 20,000VA / 20kVA / 18,000 watt online, double-conversion UPS system offers
complete power protection for critical server, network and telecommunications equipment in a 14U
rack/tower configuration. This system delivers complete N+1 redundancy when used at loads up to
10kVA, and non-redundant operation at loads between 10 and 20kVA. 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.
