10kVA Online Double Conversion UPS — Data Centre and Server Room Grade Protection
The 10kVA online double conversion UPS is the standard specification for South African server rooms, commercial data centres, medical facilities, and mission-critical office infrastructure. Providing 9kW of true online double conversion power with 0.9 power factor output, it protects against all power quality issues including load shedding, voltage sags, surges, harmonics, and frequency deviations.

Hot-Swappable Batteries
Battery replacement without UPS shutdown is a critical feature for 24/7 operations. The 10kVA UPS supports hot-swap battery replacement — technicians can replace aging battery strings while the UPS continues to protect the load. No planned downtime required for battery maintenance.
Parallel for Redundancy
Up to four 10kVA units can be paralleled in N+1 configuration. This means that even if one UPS fails, the remaining units continue to carry the total load — providing the highest level of availability for mission-critical applications including hospitals, data centres, and financial processing centres.
FAQ
How many servers can a 10kVA UPS support?
A 10kVA / 9kW UPS supports approximately 20–40 standard rack servers (at 150–250W each), plus networking switches, storage arrays, and KVM systems. A load audit by a qualified UPS engineer is recommended for accurate sizing.
What battery runtime does the 10kVA offer?
Internal batteries provide 5–8 minutes at full load — enough to initiate an orderly server shutdown. For extended runtime during load shedding (2–6 hours), external battery cabinets with larger battery strings are required. Contact us for battery cabinet specifications and pricing.
Is three-phase input available?
Yes. Three-phase input/single-phase output and three-phase in/out configurations are available in the 10kVA range. Contact us for three-phase specifications if your facility has three-phase supply.
