Also take a look at their adds in kijiji and Craigslist by doing a search for 280 Jane their prices on there are generally cheaper than their ebay prices. Was able to pick up a 1500va tripp lite from them last month for 40$

208V input. Good luck powering it up in your average home. Other than that, it's probably a good buy.

You don't have 240v in your home? You don't use any stove/dryer? Theses runs on 240v AC.

Just have to do the wiring from the electric box to the server rack...

For sure it's more complicated that any "normal" 120v UPS, but a 5000VA it's not an "average" UPS...

The spec sheet says it's 208V, not 240V, but at least it's single-phase, not 208V 3-phase. I'd initially assumed that it was 3-phase, which is difficult-to-impossible to power at home. It's probably fine with 220-240V; it'll see it as over-voltage, but it's within the specs of what it's supposed to be able to handle.

I have a pair of Smart-UPS RT 6000 RM XL (230V, more or less SURT6000RMXLI) that I picked up a couple months ago off of Craigslist for $100 each, so I'm familiar with 30A 240V.

I do want, but I need to run on residential power... And the other question is is it quiet while not on battery or charging.

residential power is single phase, commercial or agricultural is 3 phase. sometimes 240v is considered commercial, but its really not unless its 3 phase. 240v is what comes into most homes from the pole.

208v is residential power. 208 is a reference because AC is alternating current, there are drops in the current, it goes up and down, thats why you will see a 208v/260v fluctuations listed in power supplies, it will automatically adjust for wattage and amperage. when you get into electronics, they use DC power, this is all converted in the power supply's...that is where 240v comes from. for AC its just a average.

additionally, 208v is just 2 - 120v (residential) hots. there is no ground in most cases, if there is a ground its for safety reasons or to balance the load...literally .0001% is used during its life.

take 2 - 120v lines and put them into a 240 breaker, you now have a 240v circuit.
