APC Smart-UPS RC 3000VA 230V (SRC3000XLI) – Mid-Range Online UPS with Extendable Runtime
The APC Smart-UPS RC 3000VA 230V (SRC3000XLI) is Schneider Electric’s mid-range double-conversion online UPS — engineered for small server rooms, medical imaging suites, industrial automation, and mid-scale critical IT infrastructure. Delivering 2100 Watts / 3.0 kVA with zero transfer time, 89% efficiency, and a substantial 692 VAH internal battery — plus an empty battery slot for extendable runtime — this UPS bridges the gap between the entry-level SRC1000I and enterprise SRC10KUXI models. Sourced, installed, and supported by Link Power Engineerings, Pakistan’s certified APC power partner.
Why Choose APC Smart-UPS RC 3000VA (SRC3000XLI)?
- Double Conversion Online Topology — your load runs continuously on inverter power, completely isolated from grid disturbances. Zero transfer time on outage.
- 2100W / 3 kVA Capacity — powers small server racks, imaging suites, or industrial control cabinets on a single unit.
- Extendable Runtime via Empty Battery Slot — add an APC RBC120 extra battery module to double your backup time without replacing the UPS. Unique in this capacity range.
- 692 VAH Internal Battery — nearly 3× the capacity of the 1 kVA SRC1000I, delivering hours of backup with the built-in module.

APC Online UPS Family — Where Does the SRC3000XLI Fit?
The SRC3000XLI sits in the middle of APC’s Smart-UPS RC family — perfect when a 1 kVA online UPS isn’t enough but a 10 kVA enterprise system is overkill. If your load is smaller and you’re just protecting a single critical device, our 1 kVA option offers the same online technology in a compact chassis. For much larger deployments — full data centre rooms, telecom shelters, or hospital wings — step up to the APC Smart-UPS RC 10000VA (SRC10KUXI) which delivers 9 kW of enterprise-class protection with fully scalable external battery cabinets. All units in this family share double-conversion topology, zero transfer time, and SmartSlot network management — the difference is capacity and runtime configuration.
Line Interactive vs Online — Do You Really Need Online at 3 kVA?
At 3 kVA capacity, the choice between Line Interactive and Online UPS becomes an important cost-vs-criticality decision. Line Interactive UPS models like the APC Smart-UPS 2200VA Rack Mount (SMT2200RMI2U) (1980W) or the tower APC Smart-UPS 1500VA with SmartConnect (SMT1500) deliver excellent protection with a 2–8ms transfer time — perfectly adequate for standard IT loads, and significantly less expensive. Choose the SRC3000XLI Online instead when: (a) you’re protecting medical, financial, or industrial equipment with zero-downtime requirements, (b) your grid has severe voltage/frequency instability, or (c) you need extendable runtime beyond 15–20 minutes at full load. Our engineers will help you calculate total cost of ownership for both options.
