Frequently Asked Questions - SU2030KMBP Tripp Lite

What is the typical runtime of the SU2030KMBP at full load?

At full load (18 kW), the runtime is typically 5-10 minutes. With half load, runtime extends to 15-25 minutes.

How often should I replace the batteries?

Batteries should be replaced every 3-5 years depending on usage and environmental conditions. The UPS has a self-test feature to monitor battery health.

Does the SU2030KMBP support SNMP management?

Yes, it has an SNMP slot for optional network management cards, allowing remote monitoring and control via PowerAlert software.

What is the input voltage range?

The UPS accepts 208V or 480V 3-phase input (configurable). It operates in a voltage window of ±10% before switching to battery.

Can this UPS be mounted in a rack?

Yes, the SU2030KMBP is convertible between tower and rackmount configurations. Rackmount kits are included.

What type of output waveform does it provide?

It provides pure sine wave output, suitable for sensitive electronics including servers and networking equipment.

How do I connect the UPS for emergency power off (EPO)?

The UPS features an EPO (Emergency Power Off) port for connection to a remote emergency shutdown system. Refer to the manual for wiring details.

What is the transfer time during a power outage?

The SU2030KMBP is an online double conversion UPS, so transfer time is zero milliseconds; the load is always powered by the inverter.

Can I expand the battery runtime with external battery packs?

Yes, the UPS supports external battery cabinets (e.g., Tripp Lite BP48V series) to extend runtime for hours.

What maintenance tasks should I perform regularly?

Regularly inspect air filters and vents for dust, check battery terminals for corrosion, and run a self-test monthly. Clean with a dry cloth only.

8) System Operation

The following User Instructions are for the three circuit breaker MBP configured to be controlled by a mechanical interlock system.

Normal Operation

The UPS AC Input Breaker "SW1" is CLOSED/ON. The Maintenance Bypass Breaker "SW2" is locked OPEN/OFF with the interlock plate thumb screw secured in position 1, as shown. The Maintenance Isolation Breaker from the UPS output "SW3" is CLOSED/ON.

Transfer to Maintenance Bypass

1. Transfer the UPS to Bypass mode.
2. Loosen the interlock plate thumb screw and rotate the interlock plate clockwise to allow the "SW2" breaker handle to operate.
3. CLOSE/turn ON the "SW2" breaker.
4. OPEN/turn OFF the "SW3" breaker.
5. Rotate the interlock plate clockwise and secure the thumb screw in position 2, as shown, to lock the "SW3" breaker in the OPEN/OFF position.
6. The UPS is now ready for routine maintenance. If further maintenance requires a total shutdown of the UPS and isolation from the input, the UPS AC Input Breaker "SW1" must be OPEN/OFF and the battery supply to the UPS must be disconnected. Refer to your UPS manual for proper shutdown procedures.

Return the UPS and Bypass Switch to Normal Operation

1. If the UPS AC input breaker "SW1" is OPEN/turned OFF for maintenance, then follow the UPS manual for proper startup procedures. To restore input power to the UPS, CLOSE/turn ON the UPS AC Input Breaker "SW1." Verify that the UPS is in Internal Bypass mode before proceeding!
2. Loosen the interlock plate thumb screw and rotate the interlock plate counterclockwise to allow the "SW3" breaker handle to operate.
3. CLOSE/turn ON the "SW3" breaker.
4. OPEN/turn OFF the "SW2" breaker.
