Introduction

The HP R3000v Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) protects your sensitive electronic
equipment from the most common power problems, including power failures, power sags,
power surges, brownouts, line noise, high voltage spikes, frequency variations, switching
transients, and harmonic distortion.
Power outages can occur when you least expect them, and power quality can be erratic.
These power problems have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work
sessions, and damage hardware — causing hours of lost productivity and expensive
repairs.
With the HP R3000v UPS, you can safely eliminate the effects of power disturbances and
guard the integrity of your equipment. Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the
HP R3000v UPS's unique benefits include:
S True online double-conversion technology with high power density, utility frequency
independence, and generator compatibility.
