APC SYA8K16PXRX798XB Symmetra LX 8kVA W/batteries and NMC

Role of the SYA8K16PXRX798XB in a power protection layout

APC SYA8K16PXRX798XB is listed by APC as Symmetra LX 8kVA W/batteries and NMC removed, with a rated output of 8000 VA (6400 W).

It is fed from 208 V and supplies 120 V as a sine wave. The listed battery type is lead-acid battery, with a typical recharge time of 3 h. The recorded mounting mode is not rack-mountable.

The APC SYA8K16PXRX798XB is listed with on-line topology. In an online double-conversion design the load is fed from the inverter at all times, so connected equipment is isolated from mains disturbances and there is no transfer time when the mains supply fails. This approach is commonly chosen for servers, network cores and other sensitive loads.

The output waveform is listed as sine wave. A sine-wave output is the safer choice for equipment with active power factor correction and for sensitive electronics. The listed ratings of 8000 VA and 6400 W correspond to a power factor of 0.8. Size the load against the watt rating as well as the VA rating, and keep margin for future equipment.

Technical specifications

Output, input and battery information

Output connections: Hard wire 4-wire (2P + N + E) for 1 zone(s). Input connection: 1 hard wire 4-wire (2P + N + E). Input frequency: 45…65 Hz auto-sensing.

Battery life is listed as 3…5 year(s).

Load sizing should be checked against both the VA and the watt rating, and runtime depends on the connected load, battery condition and ambient temperature. Confirm these points against the product documents before ordering.

Physical data and environment

Dimensions are 1516 mm x 483 mm x 726 mm (H x W x D), and the unit weighs 212.64 kg. Colour: black.

Listed operating limits: operating temperature 0…40 °C; relative humidity 0…95 %; operating altitude 0…10000 ft; acoustic level 62 dBA.

Warranty recorded by APC (months): 24.

Battery data listed for this model: type lead-acid battery. The typical recharge time is 3 h. Sealed lead-acid batteries need no topping up in normal use but wear with age and heat, so replacement should be planned in advance and the battery state checked during routine maintenance. Used batteries must be recycled according to local regulations.

Further electrical values recorded for the APC SYA8K16PXRX798XB include: bypass type: Internal bypass (automatic and manual); crest factor: Up to 5 : 1; efficiency: 90 % (full load). Use these figures when sizing upstream protection and cabling, and confirm them against the installation documents for the exact variant.

Communication and management details listed: graph display: 1. Network cards, software and monitoring options should be matched to the facility monitoring system before ordering.

The mounting mode is listed as not rack-mountable. The unit measures 1516 mm x 483 mm x 726 mm (H x W x D) and weighs 212.64 kg, so check the available space and the floor or rack loading before delivery. Listed environmental limits: operating temperature 0…40 °C; relative humidity 0…95 %; altitude 0…10000 ft. Equipment rooms in the Gulf region often run warm, so leave ventilation clearance and keep the unit away from direct heat sources.

The warranty period recorded in the product data is 24 months. If a project requires certificates or test reports, include that request with the quotation request.

Where the SYA8K16PXRX798XB fits in an APC Symmetra LX installation

Symmetra LX is a modular single-phase UPS built from hot-swappable power modules and battery modules in a rack or tower frame. With N+1 redundancy a failed module can be replaced while the load stays protected, and capacity or runtime can be raised by adding modules instead of replacing the whole UPS.

Communication and management modules connect the UPS to the people and systems that look after it. A network management card adds a web interface, SNMP, e-mail alerts and event logs, and can work with PowerChute Network Shutdown to close down servers and virtual machines in an orderly way before the battery is exhausted. Dry-contact and I/O modules pass UPS alarms to a building management system or a PLC.

In the product data for the APC SYA8K16PXRX798XB, it is rated 8000 VA and 6400 W; it uses on-line topology; its battery technology is listed as lead-acid battery. These values are the starting point for matching it to the rest of the installation.

Site conditions in Oman and the GCC for the SYA8K16PXRX798XB

The output can be set to 240 V, which matches the nominal 240 V single-phase supply in Oman. The listed operating temperature tops out at 40 °C. Summer shade temperatures in Muscat, Sohar and the interior regularly pass 45 °C, so the equipment belongs in an air-conditioned room or cabinet rather than an open plant area. The heat dissipation of 3485 Btu/h has to be included in the cooling budget of the room. Coastal sites such as Muscat, Sohar and Duqm add humidity and salt to the air, and inland sites add fine dust, so keep the room sealed and clean and check filters and fans at every service visit.

At 212.64 kg the unit needs two people or lifting equipment for installation, and rails rather than a shelf if it goes into a rack.
