What is Tripp Lite line-interactive UPS?

Line-interactive UPS keeps the load on utility power most of the time and uses an autotransformer with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct sustained low or high voltage without engaging the battery. On a true outage, transfer to battery takes 1 to 7 ms depending on the model (Tripp Lite data sheets: SMART2200RMXL2U and SMART3000RM2U 1 to 4 ms, SMART1500LCD 4 ms, SMART5000XFMRXL 7 ms), fast enough for most modern server, networking and storage power supplies. It suits most SMB server, networking and POS loads.

Tripp Lite's line-interactive catalog covers three families: AVR Series for entry-tier office and brownout-prone regions, OmniVS / OmniPro line-interactive variants for workstation tier, and SmartPro (SMART, SM prefix) for the rack workhorse 500 VA to 5 kVA. UPSPLUSBATTERY.CA offers the line with matching Tripp Lite replacement batteries. For loads that can't tolerate transfer time, see Tripp Lite SmartOnline UPS. For entry standby tier, see Tripp Lite standby UPS. Full Tripp Lite catalog: Tripp Lite UPS.

Tripp Lite line-interactive families

Family	Model prefix	VA range	Form factor	Notable features
AVR Series	AVR	550 VA to 1500 VA	Tower	Entry line-interactive, AVR, USB
OmniVS / OmniPro (line-interactive variants)	OMNI, OMNIVS	500 VA to 1500 VA	Tower or 1U rack	Workstation, small office, AV
SmartPro	SMART, SM	500 VA to 5000 VA	Tower, 1U / 2U rack, convertible	Pure sine, LCD, SNMP card slot, PowerAlert

SmartPro covers most rack deployments. AVR Series and OmniVS line-interactive variants cover the workstation and small-office tier where pure sine and SNMP aren't required.

How to choose

Sizing: VA and watts

The SMART1500LCD runs 0.6 PF (1500 VA / 900 W). The larger SmartPro rack models run higher: SMART2200RMXL2U 1950 VA / 1950 W and SMART3000RM2U 3000 VA / 3000 W (unity), SMART5000XFMRXL 5000 VA / 3750 W. OmniVS runs about 0.65 PF (OMNIVS1500XL 1440 VA / 940 W). Add nameplate watts × 1.25 buffer, pick the UPS whose watt rating exceeds. UPS sizing guide.

SmartPro vs AVR Series

SmartPro rack models add pure sine on battery (the SMART1500LCD uses PWM sine wave), SNMP card slot, LCD, deeper PowerAlert integration, and the broader VA range up to 5 kVA. AVR Series is the budget tier: simulated sine on lower SKUs, USB only, no SNMP card slot. For any rack-mounted server load, choose SmartPro.

When to step up to online

Move to SmartOnline SU-series when the load can't tolerate any transfer (medical, VoIP, precision lab, industrial control), or when utility frequency drift exceeds line-interactive AVR correction range. Topology comparison.

Replacement batteries

Tripp Lite uses RBC and BP series part numbers. Per Tripp Lite's data sheets: RBC1500 (SMART1500LCD, SMART1500LCDXL), RBC94-2U (SMART2200RMXL2U, SMART3000RM2U), RBC94-3U (SMART5000XFMRXL). The OMNIVS1500XL sheet lists replaceable internal batteries (see the manual). We stock compatible cartridges matched on voltage, capacity, terminals and connectors. 1-year UPSPLUSBATTERY warranty. See Tripp Lite replacement batteries and Tripp Lite RBC guide.

Installation and warranty

Up to 1500 VA: NEMA 5-15P plug-and-play. 2200 / 3000 VA: typically NEMA 5-20P or L5-30P. 5 kVA: L6-30P plug (SMART5000XFMRXL). Warranty (Tripp Lite data sheets): 2 or 3 years depending on the model; 3 years with registration on the SMART2200RMXL2U, SMART3000RM2U and SMART5000XFMRXL. Coordinated through our Canadian team. Shipped from Canada.

FAQ

SmartPro pure sine on battery?

Yes on the SMART2200RMXL2U, SMART3000RM2U and SMART5000XFMRXL (pure sine wave on battery). The SMART1500LCD produces a PWM sine wave on battery; check the data sheet for your model.

Network management?

SNMP card slot on SmartPro accepts the WEBCARDLX network management card, provides SNMP, web, email alerts, integration with VMware, Hyper-V via PowerAlert.

External battery packs?

SmartPro XL variants (SMART1500LCDXL, SMART2200RMXL2U) accept BP-series external battery packs for extended runtime.

Hot-swap batteries?

Yes on most current SmartPro rack/tower units. Cartridge slides out front while UPS protects load.

Battery life?

Sealed lead-acid batteries typically last 3 to 5 years at 20 to 25 °C, climate-controlled. When to replace UPS battery.

Canadian warranty?

Yes: Tripp Lite factory warranty terms cover Canada. RMA coordinated through our Canadian team. Shipped from Canada.
