For equipment that needs steady power through unstable mains supply, an online double-conversion UPS may be appropriate. The GeTX GXT-1000-CON, GXT-2000-CON and GXT-3000-CON product listings describe online UPS models. The choice depends on your equipment's watt demand, installation space, outlets and required backup time. These are comparisons of published specifications, not independently measured performance.

| Model | VA | W | Listed batteries |
|---|---|---|---|
| GXT-1000-CON | 1000VA | 800W | 3 × 12V 7Ah |
| GXT-2000-CON | 2000VA | 1600W | 6 × 12V 7Ah |
| GXT-3000-CON | 3000VA | 2400W | 6 × 12V 7Ah |
The product pages list 800W, 1600W and 2400W output ratings respectively. The 1kVA listing specifies three 12V 7Ah batteries; the 2kVA and 3kVA listings each specify six 12V 7Ah batteries. Do not assume the two larger units provide the same runtime at different loads.
Size the UPS from watts, then runtime
Measure or estimate the continuous draw of servers, network switches, storage and displays that must stay on. Include expected growth and start-up demand. Compare this sum with the model's watt rating. Next ask for a runtime chart at your actual load; a battery count and a VA label cannot replace that chart. If you need time to shut down equipment safely, define that target before choosing the unit.
The GXT-3000-CON listing gives further installation details, including a pure sine output, LCD and RS232 interface. Its published dimensions are 450 × 192 × 335mm and net weight 27.7kg. Confirm space, ventilation, wiring and connector needs on site. The 1kVA and 2kVA listings are shorter, so ask the supplier to confirm their exact output sockets and operating requirements.
When should you consider another model?
If your watt draw exceeds the proposed output rating, choose a correctly sized model rather than relying on the VA figure. If you only need short shutdown time for a basic desktop, compare the cost and requirements of line-interactive GeTX models. An online UPS also needs an appropriate installation environment and battery maintenance plan.
Before you buy
- Confirm watts, number and type of output connections, and equipment voltage.
- Request a runtime estimate at your real load and the intended battery set.
- Check noise, ventilation, space and future battery replacement.
- Ask about monitoring or controlled shutdown if your servers require it.
