CyberPower Double Conversion Online UPS

About CyberPower Double Conversion Online UPS

What is CyberPower double-conversion online UPS?

Online (double-conversion) UPS runs the load permanently from the inverter — utility AC continuously rectified to DC, then re-inverted to clean AC before reaching equipment. Transfer time effectively zero milliseconds during a power event, complete galvanic isolation from utility-side disturbances, fully regenerated sine wave at all times. Required topology for medical equipment, VoIP PBX, precision laboratory gear, industrial control, and edge data centres where line-interactive transfer is unacceptable.

CyberPower's online line is the Smart App Online OL series. UPSPLUSBATTERY.CA sources OL units on demand for Canadian buyers — typical sourcing time 5–10 business days. Our in-stock CyberPower catalogue covers CyberPower replacement batteries. For line-interactive equivalents see CyberPower line-interactive UPS. Full CyberPower catalog at CyberPower UPS.

Transfer time?

Effectively zero. Load runs permanently from inverter — no switching event when utility fails.

Add runtime?

OL-XL and OL3U variants accept BP-series modules via dedicated EBM port. Specify EBMs at quote.

Sourcing time?

5–10 business days from quote acceptance. Quote requests reply within 1 business day. Replacement batteries in stock ship separately.

OL3000RTXL2U sizing for a small server room?

2–4 × 1U servers (~400 W each), ToR switch (150 W), firewall (60 W) ≈ 1810 W × 1.25 = 2263 W. OL3000RTXL2U at 2700 W covers with headroom.
