EVI 2000VA / 1800W Rack Mount Online Single Phase UPS
Modern 1U and 2U servers pack genuinely serious computing power into a compact chassis, and that density comes with a corresponding power draw. A single virtualization host running a hypervisor cluster, or a small stack of networking and storage appliances sharing one rack, can easily push past the capacity of an entry-level UPS designed for a single edge device. The EVI 2000VA / 1800W Rack Mount Online Single Phase UPS (EP-UPS2000UC13OR) delivers double the usable output of EVI’s 1000VA rack-mount sibling, in the same compact rack footprint, for exactly this kind of higher-density deployment.
This is a true online double-conversion UPS with a full 1.0 output power factor, meaning every one of its rated 1800 watts is available as real, usable power for connected equipment — not held back by reactive power inefficiency the way lower power-factor units are.
1.0 Output Power Factor: Full Rated Capacity, No Compromises
Where many UPS units at this capacity tier deliver only 0.8 or 0.9 output power factor, quietly reducing the real, usable wattage available to connected equipment, the EP-UPS2000UC13OR delivers a full 1.0 output power factor. That means the entire 1800W rating is genuinely available to servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment, rather than the buyer discovering after purchase that actual usable capacity falls well short of the number on the box.
For virtualization hosts running VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox clusters, and for hypervisor environments where storage arrays and virtual machines all draw power simultaneously, this full-capacity delivery matters directly: it means the UPS genuinely supports the load it is rated for, with real headroom rather than an optimistic marketing number.
Online Double Conversion with Zero Compromise Protection
Continuous AC-DC-AC conversion isolates connected equipment from every grid disturbance, delivering pure sine wave output regardless of upstream voltage sags, surges, or frequency instability. Virtual hosts, storage arrays, and hypervisor clusters are particularly sensitive to unclean power, since an unexpected reboot mid-operation can corrupt virtual machine states or damage storage integrity in ways far more disruptive than a single physical server restart.
Wide Input Tolerance and Efficient Power Factor Correction
Operating across a wide input voltage range of 110 to 300 Vac with input power factor correction (PFC) rated at 0.99, the EP-UPS2000UC13OR absorbs Kenya’s grid instability without unnecessarily switching to battery power, extending battery service life over the unit’s operating period. Frequency converter mode supporting both 50 Hz and 60 Hz gives additional flexibility for imported equipment or cross-border infrastructure standardization.
Smart Charging for Two Battery Groups
Charging current is selectable between 1A and 2A, with the 2A setting specifically supported for configurations running two groups of installed batteries. This gives installers precise control over charging behavior matched to the actual battery bank deployed, whether the site runs a standard single battery group or an expanded configuration for longer runtime.
Lithium Battery and BMS Ready
Like its smaller sibling, the EP-UPS2000UC13OR features smart battery charging design supporting both traditional lead-acid batteries and modern lithium batteries with Battery Management System (BMS) integration. As lithium battery costs continue to decline and their advantages in cycle life and charge speed become increasingly attractive for higher-capacity deployments, this UPS keeps that upgrade path genuinely open rather than locking the buyer into legacy battery chemistry.
Low Priority Load Disconnection for Smarter Runtime Allocation
The low priority load disconnection function automatically sheds non-essential connected devices during extended outages, preserving battery runtime for the equipment that matters most. In a rack running both a critical virtualization host and a less essential secondary switch, this means the host keeps running even as battery capacity depletes, rather than every connected device losing power simultaneously.
Generator Compatible with Emergency Power Off
Full generator compatibility ensures the unit tolerates the voltage and frequency variation typical of backup generators during startup and load transitions, while an Emergency Power Off (EPO) function provides immediate, safe shutdown capability for emergency situations — a standard expectation in professional data center and telecom environments.
ECO Mode for Efficient Day-to-Day Operation
ECO mode allows the UPS to run in a higher-efficiency state during stable grid conditions, reducing energy consumption and heat generation in the rack while retaining the ability to switch instantly to full double-conversion protection the moment power quality degrades.
Selectable Output Voltage and 8 IEC C13 Outlets
Selectable output voltage across 200, 208, 220, 230, and 240 Vac allows the unit to adapt to regional equipment requirements without needing a different model per deployment scenario. Eight IEC C13 outlets provide ample connectivity for a genuinely populated rack — servers, switches, storage appliances, and networking gear can all draw protected power from a single unit without outlet-count becoming a limiting factor.
The Cost Case for Getting Capacity Right
Undersizing a UPS for a growing server rack forces difficult trade-offs about which equipment gets protected, while a UPS that claims high VA capacity but delivers a lower real power factor can leave a rack with less genuine protection than expected. At 1800W of full, real output power, the EP-UPS2000UC13OR removes both risks for mid-sized server and networking deployments, at a cost that remains modest against the price of even a single corrupted virtual machine environment or damaged storage array following an unprotected power event.
Rotating LCD Display and Full Communication Suite
A rotating LCD display gives technicians a clear viewing angle for monitoring load, battery status, and alarm conditions regardless of rack orientation. Standard USB and RS232 ports support direct PC-based monitoring and management software integration, with an optional SNMP card available for organizations that want to fold this unit into a wider, IP-based monitoring dashboard alongside other rack infrastructure.
