What is the APC Symmetra LX SYA12K16IXR?

The SYA12K16IXR is a 12kVA scalable to 16kVA N+1 Extended Run Tower UPS with 230V input and output. It is the international variant featuring 12kVA scalable capacity with a 488.7 kg chassis weight for mission-critical deployments.

How much extended runtime can the SYA12K16IXR achieve?

Adding SYAXR9B9I frames shifts the runtime from Curve A (baseline) to Curve E, providing over 100 minutes of protection even at significant loads.

What is the difference between SYA12K16PXR and SYA12K16IXR?

The SYA12K16PXR is the 208/240V version designed for North American markets, while the SYA12K16IXR is the 230V international variant. Both provide the same 12kVA scalable to 16kVA N+1 Extended Run Tower configuration.
