Vertiv Liebert GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN 8000VA Online Double Conversion UPS Australia
Vertiv Liebert GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN 8000VA Online Double Conversion UPS Australia
Vertiv Liebert GXT5 / Single Phase Online UPS / 8000VA
The Vertiv Liebert GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN is an 8000VA / 8000W single phase, online double conversion 5U rack or tower UPS with unity power factor and efficiency up to 95%, supplied, installed and maintained across Australia by Indigi Power and Cooling. It delivers continuous, fully conditioned power to server racks, network cores and edge data centres through a hardwired input with flexible common or split bypass, and ships with a Vertiv RDU120 network card and a 3-year warranty. Indigi Power and Cooling is an Indigenous and Veteran-owned critical power specialist, Supply Nation and ICN Gateway registered.
The Vertiv Liebert GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN sits near the top of the single phase Liebert GXT5 online double conversion family, sized at 8000VA and, thanks to a unity output power factor of 1.0, a full 8000 watts of usable output. Online double conversion (VFI classification) means the connected load is always powered from a regenerated sine wave, fully isolated from the raw mains, so voltage sags, surges, frequency drift, harmonics and brownouts never reach your equipment. For server rooms, network cores and edge data centres that cannot tolerate a break in clean power, this is the topology that matters, and at 8kW it protects a densely loaded rack from a single unit.
Housed in a 5U chassis that installs as a rack unit or a free-standing tower, the GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN combines a color graphic LCD with gravity-sensing orientation, individually programmable output sockets, hot-swappable batteries and a Vertiv Liebert IntelliSlot RDU120 network card in the box. Its hardwired input supports common or split bypass wiring, giving your electrician flexibility to feed the bypass and rectifier from separate sources for higher availability. It runs at high efficiency in online mode and up to 98% in ECO mode, and Indigi Power and Cooling supplies it Australia-wide with optional installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance from our Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne hubs.

Why the GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN leads its class
Unity power factor (1.0)
8000VA equals a full 8000W of real power. You can load it with more IT equipment than a 0.9 power factor UPS of the same VA rating, protecting a denser rack from one 5U frame.
True online protection
Double conversion (VFI) isolates the load from all nine common power problems with zero transfer time, delivering a pure sine wave regardless of what the mains is doing.
Efficiency up to 95% / 98% ECO
Up to 95% efficiency in online double conversion mode and up to 98% in ECO mode lowers running cost and heat load in the rack, and it is Energy Star certified.
Flexible hardwired input
A hardwired 230VAC input supports common or split bypass configurations, letting your electrician feed the bypass and rectifier from separate supplies for higher availability.
Network card included
A Vertiv Liebert IntelliSlot RDU120 card ships in the box for SNMP, web and Power Insight remote monitoring, with no extra accessory to buy.
Scalable runtime
Add a GXT5-EBC192VRT3U external battery cabinet to extend backup from 3.5 minutes to about 9.5 minutes at full load, with auto-detection for accurate runtime reporting.

GXT5 5kVA to 10kVA 5U range at a glance
The GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN shares its 5U rack/tower platform with the rest of the higher-capacity single phase Liebert GXT5 family. If your load is likely to grow, or you want a common spares and management approach across a fleet, the following models step up in the same footprint.
| Model | Rating | Runtime at 100% | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| GXT5-5000IRT5UXLN | 5000VA / 5000W | 7 min | 70.8 kg |
| GXT5-6000IRT5UXLN | 6000VA / 6000W | 5.5 min | 70.8 kg |
| GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN | 8000VA / 8000W | 3.5 min | 74.5 kg |
| GXT5-10KIRT5UXLN | 10000VA / 10000W | 2 min | 74.5 kg |
Applications for the GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN
At 8000VA / 8000W the GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN is matched to substantial critical loads that demand true online protection: a fully populated server rack, a converged network core, a blade or hyperconverged cluster, a storage array, an edge or micro data centre, or a room of medical, imaging and diagnostic equipment. Because it is online double conversion rather than line-interactive, it suits sites with unstable or generator-backed power where frequency and voltage wander, and its hardwired input is designed for permanent installation in a comms room or data hall.
- Edge and micro data centre nodes in retail, industrial, mining and remote sites
- Fully loaded server, storage and network core racks in comms rooms
- Converged and hyperconverged infrastructure and virtualisation clusters
- Healthcare, imaging and laboratory equipment requiring clean power
- Security, CCTV, access control and building management head-ends

GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN vs a typical line-interactive UPS
A common mistake when protecting a full rack is choosing a line-interactive UPS to save money. The table below shows why the online double conversion GXT5 is the safer choice for critical loads at this capacity.
| Feature | GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN | Typical line-interactive UPS |
|---|---|---|
| Topology | Online double conversion, zero transfer time | Transfers to battery, 2 to 10 ms break |
| Power factor | 1.0 (8000W from 8000VA) | Usually 0.9 or lower |
| Output waveform | Pure sine wave, always regenerated | Sine on battery, raw mains otherwise |
| Remote management | RDU120 network card included | Network card often extra |
| Runtime expansion | External battery cabinets with auto-detect | Limited or none |
Installation and maintenance across Australia
The GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN uses a hardwired input and output rather than a plug and socket, so it must be connected by a licensed electrician as a permanent installation, including the bypass and rectifier feeds where a split bypass is used. Indigi Power and Cooling provides single phase UPS installation and commissioning nationally, including rack mounting, hardwired termination, external battery cabinet connection, load transfer and configuration of the network card and shutdown software.
To protect your investment and keep the warranty valid, batteries and electronics should be inspected on a regular schedule. Our UPS maintenance service covers testing, battery health checks and firmware updates, and annual maintenance plans keep your GXT5 fleet compliant and reliable. Internal batteries are user-replaceable using the GXT5-192VBATKIT, and the GXT5-EBC192VRT3U external cabinet extends runtime when you need it.
Australian sites bring their own power quality challenges, from long feeder runs and voltage sag in regional areas to generator changeover on backed-up sites, and these are exactly the conditions online double conversion is built to ride through. All fixed electrical connection work must comply with AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and be performed by a licensed electrician, and Indigi Power and Cooling handles that side of the deployment for you so the GXT5 is installed, labelled and commissioned correctly the first time.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Vertiv GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN single phase?
Yes. The GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN is a single phase 230V UPS with a single phase input and single phase output, which is why it belongs in the Vertiv single phase (1:1) range.
How much backup runtime does it provide?
On its internal batteries it delivers about 3.5 minutes at full 8000W load and 9.5 minutes at 50% load. Adding one GXT5-EBC192VRT3U external battery cabinet extends this to roughly 9.5 minutes at full load and about 26 minutes at half load, and further cabinets add more.
Is it a plug-in or hardwired UPS?
It is a hardwired unit. The 230VAC input and output terminate on a terminal block and support common or split bypass wiring, so it must be installed by a licensed electrician. Local IEC C19 and C13 outlets are also provided for direct rack connections.
What efficiency does the GXT5 achieve?
Up to 95% in online double conversion mode and up to 98% in ECO mode. It is Energy Star certified, which reduces both running cost and the heat it adds to the rack.
Does it include a network management card?
Yes. A Vertiv Liebert IntelliSlot RDU120 network card is supplied in the box for SNMP, web and Vertiv Power Insight remote monitoring, along with USB, RS232 and dry-contact connectivity.
What warranty comes with the GXT5-8000IRT5UXLN?
It carries a 3-year Vertiv limited warranty for the Australia and New Zealand market. Regular maintenance and correct installation keep the warranty valid.
Can Indigi install and maintain it anywhere in Australia?
Yes. We supply, install, commission and maintain the GXT5 range nationwide from our Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne hubs, covering Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and regional sites on scheduled visits.
