APC SC450RMI1U Smart-UPS SC 450 VA 230 V 1 U Rack/Tower content_copy

The APC Smart-UPS SC450RMI1U is a Line-Interactive UPS with an output capacity of 0.45 kVA and an output power of 280 W, specifically designed for use in small and medium-sized enterprises. The device protects IT resources such as servers, network equipment, POS systems, and medical devices from power outages, voltage fluctuations, and overvoltages. The nominal output voltage is 230 V, with an input voltage range of 151 V to 302 V, enabling high tolerance to mains voltage fluctuations. The automatic voltage regulation ensures that connected devices receive stable power even with irregular mains voltages, without activating the internal battery. This increases battery lifespan and reduces power consumption during normal operation.

Applications include protecting network and server infrastructures in offices, small data centers, or medical facilities. The UPS is suitable for rack mounting (1U) or as a tower unit, allowing flexible integration into existing IT infrastructures. The product color is gray, and the device features a compact design with dimensions of 432 mm (width) × 383 mm (depth) × 44 mm (height). The operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 40 °C, enabling use in standardized server rooms.

Functions and equipment in detail include four AC outlets with C13 connectors, suitable for powering end devices. Two output IEC jumpers are also integrated to provide flexible power supply options. The serial interface (RS-232) enables communication with a server or management system. The included management software PowerChute Business Edition supports configuration of safe system shutdowns and offers features such as automatic risk assessment and runtime capacity calculation. The software is compatible with common operating systems and can be used for other Smart-UPS models when expanding the IT infrastructure later.

Technology explained simply is based on the Line-Interactive topology, where voltage fluctuations are compensated via automatic voltage regulation (AVR) without activating the internal battery. The UPS switches to battery inversion only during a complete power outage or critical voltage fluctuation. The waveform is a sine wave, which is important for sensitive IT equipment as it ensures clean and stable power supply. The hold-up time ranges from 4 ms to 8 ms, sufficient to ensure a safe transition to battery power. The battery technology is sealed lead-acid (VRLA) with a capacity of 108 VAh. Typical backup time is 5.9 minutes at full load and 19.4 minutes at half load. The battery recharge time is 5 hours, and the battery can be replaced in hot-swap mode without interrupting operation. An automatic battery test regularly checks the battery condition.

Compatibility and accessories include support for DSL, fax, modem, and network via integrated surge protection functions. The UPS comes with a rack mounting kit and an RS-232 cable included in the delivery. A software CD with PowerChute Business Edition and an operating manual are also part of the delivery. Suitable accessories include batteries such as the RBC18, as well as service packages for warranty extensions.

Mounting and installation can be performed either in a 19-inch rack or in tower mode. Rack mounting is done using the included brackets, with instructions provided in the manual. Installation requires connecting the battery, as described in the manual. The pressure rise protection function protects the device against overloads. Audible signals indicate low battery charge or overload conditions.

Operational advantages include low noise level (38 dB), high efficiency in normal operation, and the ability to expand IT infrastructure step by step without changing the management software. The certifications include CE, C-tick, GOST, VDE, PEP, and EOLI, as well as compliance with RoHS. The battery lifespan is up to 5 years, with the hot-swap function ensuring continuous availability. The UPS is not intended for consumer use in the EU but for professional IT environments.
