APC SMX3000HV Smart-UPS X 3000VA Rack/Tower LCD UPS
Overview
The APC SMX3000HV is a 3000VA / 2700W line-interactive uninterruptible power supply from the Smart-UPS X series, designed to protect servers, network equipment, and industrial control systems from utility power disturbances. Configured for 200–240V input and output, the SMX3000HV delivers pure sine wave power with automatic voltage regulation, correcting brownouts and overvoltage conditions without switching to battery, which extends battery life and keeps protected equipment running through the vast majority of utility power events.
Seven Star LLC, an experienced supply partner for APC by Schneider Electric power protection products in Oman and the GCC, supplies genuine APC SMX3000HV units to data centers, telecommunications facilities, and industrial control rooms. Each SMX3000HV shipped by Seven Star LLC is sourced through verified Schneider Electric distribution channels, with full documentation and local technical support from our team in Muscat.
Measurement and Operating Principle
The APC SMX3000HV continuously monitors incoming utility voltage and frequency, using automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to boost or trim the output within its normal operating range without transferring to battery power. Only when incoming voltage falls outside the correctable range, or fails entirely, does the SMX3000HV transfer the connected load to its internal battery inverter, supplying a pure sine wave output rated at 6.15 minutes at full load and 18.3 minutes at half load from its internal batteries.
The unit’s front-panel LCD continuously displays load percentage, battery capacity, input/output voltage, and runtime estimate, giving facility staff real-time visibility into UPS health without needing a separate monitoring workstation. The SMX3000HV also auto-recognizes any external SMX-series battery packs connected to it, recalculating available runtime automatically once additional battery capacity is added.
Engineering Design
The APC SMX3000HV is built in a 4U chassis that converts between rack-mount and free-standing tower configurations, giving data center and control room designers flexibility to match the unit’s form factor to available space. Output is distributed through eight IEC 320 C13 outlets and two IEC 320 C19 outlets, covering both standard server power cords and higher-current equipment on the same unit.
A SmartSlot expansion bay allows the SMX3000HV to accept optional network management cards, environmental monitoring accessories, or additional metered/switched outlet modules, letting the base UPS be configured for remote monitoring and control as a facility’s requirements grow. Temperature-compensated charging protects the internal lead-acid batteries from the accelerated degradation that high ambient temperatures cause in Gulf-region equipment rooms.

Industrial Applications
The APC SMX3000HV is commonly installed in server rooms, network operations centers, and industrial control rooms where SCADA workstations, PLCs, and networking equipment require clean, uninterrupted power through utility disturbances. Its rack/tower convertible design also suits telecommunications shelters and process plant instrumentation rooms where floor space and rack space needs may change over the equipment’s service life.
Seven Star LLC supports critical power protection projects across Oman’s data center, oil and gas, and telecommunications sectors, supplying the SMX3000HV to facilities in Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah. As a trusted supplier of APC by Schneider Electric products, Seven Star LLC provides sizing, installation guidance, and extended-runtime battery pack recommendations for GCC customers standardizing on the Smart-UPS X platform.

Sizing and Availability Notes
The APC SMX3000HV is frequently specified alongside one or more SMX120BP external battery packs when a facility’s runtime requirement exceeds the internal battery capacity, and Seven Star LLC can advise on the correct pack count for a given load profile before an order is placed. As a trusted supplier of APC by Schneider Electric products, Seven Star LLC supplies the SMX3000HV on request to data center, oil and gas, and telecommunications customers across Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah, with lead time confirmed at quotation for critical power protection upgrades.
Extended Runtime and Fleet Standardization
Many Seven Star LLC customers standardize their server rooms and control rooms on the Smart-UPS X 3000VA platform specifically because of its rack/tower flexibility and expandable battery architecture, which lets a single UPS model serve both a compact wall-mounted control cabinet and a full 42U server rack depending on how it is configured. This standardization simplifies spare-parts stocking and staff training across multi-site operations in Oman, since technicians familiar with one SMX3000HV installation can service any other site running the same platform.
Seven Star LLC also assists customers in planning generator transfer timing around the SMX3000HV’s rated runtime, ensuring that the UPS bridges the gap reliably until backup generation comes online during extended utility outages, a common requirement for oil and gas and telecommunications facilities across the Gulf region.

Where APC UPS systems are used
In industrial plants across the GCC, APC UPS units back up DCS and PLC cabinets, operator stations, SCADA servers, telecom racks, fire and gas panels and analyzer shelters. Online double-conversion models are normally chosen for control systems because the load is always fed through the inverter. Line-interactive units suit office IT and less critical loads.Ordering APC UPS units and parts: what we need
Send the full SKU, for example SRT3000XLI, and not only the VA rating. The letters carry meaning: an I in the suffix marks a 230 V international model, XL an extended-run version that accepts external battery packs, and RM a rack-mount form. For a new requirement, give load in watts, input and output voltage, required runtime, tower or rack format, and the plug or hardwire arrangement. For batteries, send the UPS SKU and serial number so the correct replacement battery cartridge can be found in APC documentation.Browse APC products by category: UPS and Batteries.
