The APC Smart-UPS On-Line 20kVA (SRTG20KXLI) is a premium enterprise-grade power solution. It provides double-conversion online protection, meaning it continuously regenerates power to ensure a pure sine wave with zero transfer time, which is vital for high-density servers and sensitive medical or laboratory equipment.
Key Technical Specifications
- Power Capacity: 20 kW / 20 kVA (Unity Power Factor).
- Form Factor: 7U Rack/Tower Convertible (Rail kit usually sold separately).
- Input/Output: Supports both Single-Phase (230V) and 3-Phase (400V) hardwired connections.
- Efficiency: Up to 98% in Green Mode and 94% in Online Mode, reducing long-term cooling and utility costs.
- Scalable Runtime: Supports up to 4 external battery packs (SRTG192XLBP2) for extended outages.
- Smart Management: Includes a pre-installed Network Management Card 3 (NMC3) for remote monitoring and graceful shutdown via PowerChute software.
APC 20kVA Online UPS Price in Nigeria
Due to the technical nature of 3-phase systems, prices are highly sensitive to stock availability and installation requirements.
- Estimated Price: Current listings at Kara Nigeria and other specialized vendors range from ₦15,400,000 to ₦20,600,000.
- Value Proposition: While it is a significant investment, its 3-year warranty on electronics and high efficiency provide a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to non-branded industrial units.
Recommended Alternatives (If Out of Stock)
If the SRTG20KXLI is currently unavailable, these models are the most compatible alternatives based on power capacity and application:
- APC Easy UPS 3S 20kVA (E3SUPS20KHB1): A more cost-effective 3-phase solution. It lacks some of the "Smart" precision of the SRT series but is built for rugged industrial environments.
- APC Smart-UPS On-Line 10kVA (SRT10KXLI): If your load is actually closer to 10kW, this model offers identical protection features in a smaller 6U footprint and is often more readily available in stock.
- Blue Gate 20kVA Online UPS: A budget-friendly alternative widely used in Nigeria for large office buildings. It provides online protection but lacks the advanced network management and unity power factor of the APC.
Final Buying Advice
Before finalizing your purchase of a 20kVA UPS, ensure your facility's electrical board is rated for the 87A maximum input current this unit can draw. It is also wise to confirm if you need the SRTGRK1 Rail Kit for rack installation, as it is frequently sold as a separate accessory.
Would you like me to find a certified APC engineer in Lagos for a site survey, or should I check for the price of the external battery packs to extend your runtime?
