APC Smart-UPS Hardwire Kit for 2200/3000/5000VA SUA models, 120/208/230V

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve already got an APC Smart‑UPS (the SUA line) in the 2200/3000/5000VA range and you’re trying to do a clean, permanent installation, this hardwire kit makes sense. It’s the kind of “boring” accessory that saves you time and avoids the usual faff of making improvised connections. In day‑to‑day terms, it’s mainly about having a properly integrated setup—less hassle, fewer loose ends, and more predictable commissioning when the electrician comes in.

At £231.35 ex‑VAT, though, I’d only buy it if you genuinely need hardwiring (rack build, tidy fit-out, no desire to run with a plug solution). If your UPS is going to live in an office where a basic plug-and-socket arrangement is acceptable and local rules allow it, you may be paying a bit of a premium for something you don’t actually need. Also make sure you confirm the model compatibility up front—APC kits are usually specific enough that “similar” UPS units can still be a no‑go.
