MINUTEMAN ED8KRT-5KTF Endeavor 8000VA 6975W 208-240V UPS

High-Capacity Online UPS for Critical Loads

The MINUTEMAN ED8KRT-5KTF is a true sine wave online UPS rated at 8000VA and 6975W with a 0.9 power factor. It accepts hardwired 208-240VAC input across a 180-280VAC range and 40-70Hz frequency. The unit provides selectable 208, 220, 230, or 240VAC output at 50/60Hz with +/-0.1Hz precision. It includes five receptacles: three controllable L6-30R and two L6-20R outlets, plus a terminal block for 208-240VAC loads. A DB-9 interface port enables management integration.

Suited for High-Density Rack or Tower Deployments

This UPS fits environments requiring continuous power conditioning and zero transfer time for servers, network gear, or industrial equipment. The rack/tower form factor supports flexible installation in data closets or equipment rooms. Battery runtime reaches 11 minutes at half load and 3 minutes at full load using the BM0098 replaceable battery module. Surge protection is rated at 3140 joules. Buyers needing extended runtime beyond these figures or 120VAC output without the separate terminal block configuration should evaluate other solutions.

Professional Hardwire Installation Required

The unit weighs 292.03 lbs and measures 11.95" x 17.24" x 28.74", demanding adequate structural support and clearances for rack or tower mounting. Input connection is hardwire only; no plug-and-play cord is provided, so a qualified electrician must terminate supply conductors. The DB-9 port requires a compatible cable for monitoring software integration. Common issues include underestimating site wiring requirements, insufficient space for battery module access, and overlooking the need for external maintenance bypass switching for service continuity.
