FAQ
Is the SMC3000I suitable for protecting active PFC servers?
The SMC3000I uses line-interactive topology with AVR. For active PFC servers requiring pure sine wave output, consider APC Smart-UPS SMT or SMX series models which include that feature.
Can runtime be extended with external battery packs?
The SMC3000I does not natively support external battery pack expansion. For scalable runtime, consider models in the Smart-UPS X or SRT range.
