Symmetra RM for Subpanel? APC says no.. GreenLight Says YES

Can you use a APC Symmetra RM system to power a Subpanel?

Not if you buying direct from APC....  This is because the Symmetra RM is a transformer-free unit and doesn't have a true fixed neutral.  You need a good neutral to properly energize a panel.  The RM will never get a true  L to N 120v even with a stepdown transformer.

But at GreenLight Labs we put together a RM Subpanel friendly unit for you.  We even have a cute roll around cart for it.


The SYRM6S is the subpanel ready Symmetra RM unit with full 6kva output in a split phase design.  Use it to power the subpanel or super condition your equipment or instruments.  We even include a physical bypass switch.

Look for it at the store soon, but for now ask for it by name..
