A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) protects IT, network and facility infrastructure from outages, surges and unstable mains by switching to battery power the instant supply is disrupted. UPS Solutions helps Australian businesses select, replace, upgrade and support the right UPS, from a single desktop unit to a multi-megawatt data centre, across every major brand.

Australia's Critical Power Specialists
Power Protection for Every Environment, From Desktops to Data Centres
A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) keeps your equipment running through blackouts, brownouts, surges and unstable mains by switching to battery the instant supply is disrupted, and the right one depends entirely on what you're protecting. UPS Solutions supplies and supports the full spectrum: standby units for desktops and home offices, line-interactive systems for servers and network racks, online double-conversion for mission-critical IT, and modular and three-phase platforms for data centres and industrial sites.
That includes our own UPS Solutions XRT Series, online, modular and three-phase systems from 1.5kVA to 2000kVA, and supplied with 10-year design-life batteries as standard, alongside the full APC, Eaton and Vertiv ranges, plus bespoke industrial and large-scale builds to 5MW. Whatever your load, runtime, redundancy or budget, our Australian power specialists match you to the right system and back it with local installation and 24/7 support.

Your environment→Your load & runtime→The right UPS type
Standby (Offline) UPS
Home & small office
The simplest, most affordable type, runs equipment on mains and switches to battery within a few milliseconds during an outage. Ideal for desktops, modems, point-of-sale and home networking.
Adds automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct sags and surges without draining the battery, extending battery life. The go-to type for servers, network racks and most business IT.
Continuously rebuilds a clean sine wave with zero transfer time, fully isolating your load from mains problems. Includes our own UPS Solutions XRT6, the only UPS in Australia with 10-year design-life batteries.
Hot-swappable power modules that scale capacity and add N+1 redundancy without replacing the whole system. Includes the UPS Solutions XRT-MTX modular range, the XRT-MTX + S³ all-in-one lithium cabinet (10–40kVA) and XRT-3PH-MOD, scalable to 600kVA.
Large-capacity three-phase protection for data centres, hospitals and industrial sites. Includes the UPS Solutions XRT-3PH range (10–200kVA) with ECO Mode, Smart Battery Management and 10-year batteries.
Purpose-built protection for harsh, remote and high-demand sites, plus specialised solutions such as NDIS-compliant SDA emergency backup. Includes the UPS Solutions XRT industrial, containerised and military/ruggedized custom-built ranges, engineered and paralleled to 5MW+ for the largest installations.
From bespoke industrial, containerised and ruggedized systems to paralleled installations up to 5MW, our engineers design, build and project-manage power solutions across every brand.

A UPS is a device that keeps your equipment running when mains power fails, dips or surges by instantly switching to battery power. It protects against blackouts, brownouts, surges and unstable mains, giving you time to keep operating or shut down safely without data loss or downtime. UPS systems range from small desktop units through to multi-megawatt data-centre installations.
What are the different types of UPS?
There are three main types, standby (offline), line-interactive and online double-conversion, plus modular and three-phase platforms for larger sites. Standby suits home and small-office equipment; line-interactive adds automatic voltage regulation for servers and network racks; online double-conversion fully isolates your load for mission-critical IT; and modular and three-phase systems scale into data centres and industrial sites. (Use the "Which type of UPS do I need?" guide above to match your environment.)
What size UPS do I need?
Size a UPS to your load (in watts or VA), the runtime you need on battery, and any future growth. As a rule of thumb, total the power draw of everything you're protecting, allow around 20–25% headroom, then choose a UPS that comfortably exceeds that at the runtime you require. Sizing also depends on power factor and whether you need redundancy, if you're unsure, call us on 1300 555 992 and we'll size it for you.
What's the difference between line-interactive and online (double-conversion) UPS?
A line-interactive UPS corrects minor voltage sags and surges and switches to battery within a few milliseconds during an outage. An online double-conversion UPS continuously rebuilds a clean sine wave with zero transfer time, completely isolating your equipment from all mains problems. Line-interactive is ideal for servers and most business IT; online is the choice for mission-critical loads, sensitive equipment and extended runtime.
How long do UPS batteries last?
Most UPS batteries (sealed lead-acid / VRLA) have a 3–5 year design life and are typically replaced around every 4–5 years, depending on temperature, cycling and load. Lithium-ion batteries last considerably longer. Our own UPS Solutions XRT6 range is the only UPS in Australia with 10-year design-life batteries. We replace batteries for all major brands on-site.
Do you install and service UPS systems, or just sell them?
Both. We supply, install, commission, maintain, repair and provide 24/7 emergency support for UPS systems, for every major brand and our own XRT range, with local teams across Australia. We also handle battery replacement, trade-ins and end-of-life upgrades, so we can support your system across its entire lifecycle.
