2 Vertiv™ Liebert® GXT5 Lithium-Ion Description

The Liebert® GXT5 Lithium-Ion is a compact, online Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) that continuously conditions and

regulates its output voltage. The Liebert® GXT5 Lithium-Ion supplies microcomputers and other sensitive equipment with

clean sine wave input power.

Upon generation, AC power is clean and stable. However, during transmission and distribution it is subject to voltage sags,

spikes, and complete failure that may interrupt computer operations, cause data loss, and damage equipment.

The Liebert® GXT5 Lithium-Ion protects equipment from these disturbances. The Liebert® GXT5 Lithium-Ion continuously

charges its batteries from the mains, enabling it to supply power to connected loads, even when the mains fail.

2.1 Available Models

The Liebert® GXT5 Lithium-Ion includes the following features. Table 2.1 below, lists the available models and power ratings.

•Input power factor greater than 0.99.

•Optional tower or rack installation to meet varying installation requirements.

•Adapts to areas with unstable power mains supply via high frequency double conversion topology structure, with

high input power factor, wide input voltage range, and output immune to grid interference.

•Programmable outlets allow for load shedding to protect key devices when load is heavy.

•Operation and display panel with model specific color LCD offers simple configuration and control of the UPS.

•ECO power supply mode and smart sleep mode help to save maximum amount of energy.
