Battery Backup and VFI Operation Protect Critical Loads
The SmartOnline ® S3M40KX-NIB IGBT UPS supports the continuous availability of your most important loads through all power conditions, providing a compact backup power platform that's easy to manage and inexpensive to operate. Sophisticated voltage and frequency independent (VFI) operation and advanced IGBT rectifier technology with DSP control deliver reliable output power quality. Providing up to 40kVA of clean, continuous power, this 3-phase UPS system is perfect for critical applications in IT, communications, corporate, commercial, retail, financial, security, transportation, emergency and light industrial environments.
Best-in-Class Footprint for Easy Integration into Your Network Application
This on-line double-conversion UPS system has a very small footprint of just 0.24 square meters. It requires less valuable space in your facility, and you can install the UPS system in spaces that would previously have required expensive retrofitting.
Efficient Operation and Design Reduces Cost of Ownership
This IGBT UPS benefits from highly efficient transformer-free double-conversion technology that delivers operating cost savings. It achieves 94% efficiency in double-conversion mode and up to 98% in ECO mode, reducing your power and cooling costs. A low THDi (<3%) improves generator compatibility. A low THDv (≤2%) and active power factor correction improve output performance. The hardware and firmware platform design reduces the number of unique boards, improving mean time to repair (MTTR) and resulting in reduced downtime. Built-in static and maintenance bypass transfer UPS load to utility power during faults, overloads and maintenance, which also avoids costly system downtime.
External Batteries Supply Reliable Backup with Expandable Runtime Options
The S3M40KX-NIB online double-conversion UPS uses external scalable battery cabinets (sold separately) to provide backup support in case of a power failure. For instance, the Tripp Lite BP480V65 provides up to 28 minutes of extended runtime at full load, and the BP480V40 provides up to 15 minutes. The UPS system automatically restarts after a lengthy power outage.
Intuitive LCD Interface Delivers Important Performance Information at a Glance
The interactive front-panel LCD interface displays critical operating conditions and diagnostic data, including operating mode, input/output voltage, load, battery voltage, backup runtime and fault conditions. Four LEDs provide information about line, bypass, battery and fault status.
Network Management Card Offers Remote Monitoring and Control
The optional WEBCARDLX (sold separately) with the latest version of PowerAlert Device Manager firmware (PADM20) provides enhanced remote management capabilities, including customizable dashboard graphs to fit user preferences. The PADM20 upgrade and Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Element Manager (PAEM) software form a powerful tool for expanding maintenance functions in large installations, including firmware update checks and backup and restoration of device configurations.
Parallel Capability Provides Additional Capacity and Redundancy up to 3 Units
Connect up to three S3M40KX-NIB units in parallel using separate/shared battery cabinets for increased capacity.

Technical specifications
How long it'll keep your equipment up.
Manufacturer-specified runtime at typical loads. Real-world figures depend on battery age, ambient temperature, and load profile.
Estimate based on manufacturer-specified runtime curve. Real-world runtime varies with battery age, ambient temperature, and load profile.
Before you order
How do I know this UPS will run my equipment?
Add up the wattage draw of every device you'll plug in (servers, switches, monitors). The UPS's wattage rating — not VA — is the number that matters. Aim for the UPS to run at 60–70% of capacity at full load: this gives headroom for inrush current and a meaningful runtime margin. Email us your equipment list and we'll size the right UPS within one business hour.
What's covered by the warranty, and how long does it last?
New units carry the full manufacturer warranty registered to you on receipt. The manufacturer handles claims directly via their North American support channel. Refurbished units are covered by our own 1-year UPSPLUSBATTERY warranty handled in-house in Canada.
Can I extend runtime beyond what's shown above?
Many Smart-UPS-class models accept an external battery pack (XBP) connected to the rear battery port. If this UPS shows "Extended Runtime Capable: Yes" in the spec grid above, an XBP is supported. Compatible XBPs and the runtime gain they deliver vary by model — contact us if you don't see the right XBP in our catalogue.
