APC Smart-UPS SMT750IC 750VA 230V

APC Smart-UPS SMT750IC 750VA 230V delivers reliable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) protection designed for servers, storage devices, network equipment, and business-critical systems. With 750VA capacity and 230V input/output, this tower-style UPS provides the intelligent power management that enterprises and small businesses depend on when utility power fails.

Technical Specifications and Performance

Operating at 750VA/500W, the APC Smart-UPS SMT750IC maintains power stability through automatic voltage regulation (AVR) technology. This line-interactive topology corrects voltage fluctuations without draining the battery, extending battery life while protecting connected equipment from damaging power conditions.

Key specifications include:

• Output power capacity: 500 Watts / 750VA
• Input voltage: 230V
• Output voltage: 230V
• Waveform: Pure sine wave output
• Transfer time: 2ms typical
• Battery backup runtime: 11.4 minutes at full load, 32.8 minutes at half load

Intelligent Power Management Features

The APC Smart-UPS SMT750IC incorporates SmartSlot technology, allowing users to customize UPS capabilities with optional network management cards. The LCD display provides real-time status information including load consumption, battery charge level, runtime remaining, and utility power conditions.

Energy efficiency reaches 97% in online mode, reducing operational costs while minimizing heat generation. The green mode operation bypasses unused electrical components during normal conditions, achieving up to 99% efficiency without compromising protection.

Connectivity and Monitoring Options

Network-grade power protection extends through eight IEC 320 C13 outlets, with four outlets providing surge protection only and four delivering full battery backup. The included USB and serial connectivity enables automated graceful shutdowns through PowerChute software, preventing data corruption during extended outages.

Real-World Application Scenarios

Network administrators deploy the APC Smart-UPS SMT750IC in server rooms, network closets, and point-of-sale environments where power continuity directly impacts operations. The unit supports:

• Single servers with attached peripherals
• Network switches and wireless access points
• VoIP phone systems
• Point-of-sale terminals
• Security and surveillance equipment
• Workstations handling mission-critical applications

Reliability and Service Life

Hot-swappable batteries enable replacement without powering down protected equipment, maintaining continuous protection during maintenance. The UPS automatically runs self-tests to verify battery and electronics integrity, alerting administrators to potential issues before failures occur.

Temperature-compensated battery charging analyzes ambient conditions and adjusts charge parameters accordingly, maximizing battery performance across varied operating environments. Expected battery service life ranges from 3-5 years depending on usage patterns and environmental factors.

Installation and Maintenance Considerations

The tower form factor fits beneath desks or in equipment racks using the optional rack-mount kit. Weighing 18.8 kg, the unit requires adequate ventilation clearance—maintain 5cm spacing on all sides for proper airflow.

Initial setup involves connecting protected equipment, configuring shutdown thresholds through the LCD interface, and installing monitoring software. Regular maintenance consists primarily of battery replacement every 3-5 years and periodic cleaning of ventilation openings.
