This variation of the SmartUPS RT series features 2 quirks... The first is the input power uses a 4 wire L1430P port. The second is its ability to create 120volt for normal 5-20R outlets.
It does this because a L1430P port separates the ground and neutral into the UPS, which allows the UPS to make various combination of powers to output both 208/240 and 120volt
He needed this configuration because his old ups was connected to a L1430R outlet and he had both a PDU that connected to the UPS to his servers and an alarm box running 120volt.
After some discussions and playing in the lab, our solution was a SmartUPS 5000va (585)
We solved the first problem by making a special plug and play dongle for the input power. We then suggested a new PDU that used the native ports on the UPS. We solved the second problem by using the UPS that includes 400va of 120volt power.
Total cost was $1067 versus the $4100 for the APC recommended solution
Thats what we do here.
