output
MODEL NUMBER: SU16KRTHW
Description
Tripp Lite SU16KRTHW 16,000VA / 16kVA / 14,400 watt online, double-conversion UPS system offers complete
power protection for critical server, network and telecommunications equipment in a 12U rack/tower
configuration. This system delivers complete N+1 redundancy when used at loads up to 8kVA, and
non-redundant operation at loads between 8 and 16kVA. 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.
