APC SMT1500C ? Smart?UPS 1500VA 120V UPS

Overview

APC SMT1500C is a line?interactive uninterruptible power supply designed to deliver battery?backed power protection for critical desktop systems, network devices, and small servers running in 120?V AC environments. IT administrators and facilities teams deploy this UPS in offices, network closets, and small server rooms to preserve uptime through utility power interruptions, voltage sags, and brownouts.

The UPS provides 1500?VA / 1000?W output capacity with a pure sine?wave output, ensuring compatibility with modern server?grade power supplies and active PFC loads. Its line?interactive architecture incorporates Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct undervoltage and overvoltage conditions without immediately switching to battery power, which preserves runtime during frequent voltage fluctuations.

The unit uses a tower form factor suitable for floor or desk deployment near equipment racks or workstations. Power input is provided through a NEMA?5?15P connector, and the rear panel includes six battery?backed NEMA?5?15R outlets and two surge?only NEMA?5?15R outlets, allowing protection segmentation for critical versus non?critical loads.

Management connectivity includes USB and serial communication interfaces, facilitating integration with automated shutdown software and monitoring tools. The UPS also features SmartConnect remote monitoring, which enables cloud?based status updates and notifications without requiring dedicated network management hardware. (apc.com

A sealed lead?acid battery module delivers approximately 8?10 minutes of runtime at half load and around 4 minutes at full load, providing sufficient time for orderly system shutdown or short duration power continuation. Batteries are user?replaceable and hot?swappable, and the unit typically recharges in about 3 hours after a discharge event. (store.apc.com

This UPS is intended for small business and edge deployments operating on 120?V AC circuits where moderate power continuity and protection are required. It is not designed for high?density data center racks or heavy server loads that exceed the 1000?W power rating.
