The PowerShield Centurion RT 2000VA (PSCERT2000) is a true online double-conversion UPS rated 2000 VA / 1800 W in a rack/tower design with 5 x 10 A IEC C13 and 3 x Australian sockets. Connected equipment runs from a continuously regenerated pure sine wave with zero transfer time to battery.

ARC IP Networks supplies the genuine PowerShield PSCERT2000 in Australia with the full PowerShield Australian warranty (2 years, extended free to 3 years when you register the UPS with PowerShield, with advance replacement) and Australia-wide delivery.

PowerShield Centurion RT 2000VA overview

The Centurion RT is PowerShield's highest power-density single-phase UPS range. It uses true online double-conversion, so the PSCERT2000 continuously rebuilds a clean pure sine wave for the load and transfers to battery with zero transfer time. With an output power factor of 0.9, the PSCERT2000 delivers 1800 W of real power from its 2000 VA rating, so it supports larger loads than UPS products of an equal VA rating. A standard extra-large charger gives rapid recharge times when battery banks are added.

The PSCERT2000 installs as a floor-standing tower or in a 19-inch rack, taking 2U of rack height at 600 mm deep. Outlets: 5 x 10 A IEC C13 and 3 x Australian sockets. Input: 10 A IEC input socket.

Batteries and runtime expansion

The PSCERT2000 runs on 6 internal 12 V 9 Ah batteries, replaced as a PSBC6 x 1 clamshell cartridge. Battery banks are hot-swappable, so the UPS keeps supporting the load during battery replacement. Backup time is extended with the PSRTBB12 external battery bank, which daisy-chains to the UPS.

Efficiency and management

Advanced ECO mode allows efficiency of up to 98%: when mains voltage is within the ECO range the UPS passes it straight to the load while the inverter runs in passive mode. PowerShield rates the PSCERT2000 at 97% in advanced ECO mode and 87% in battery mode. USB with HID and RS-232 come standard: HID lets Windows, Apple, Linux and NAS devices recognise the UPS for an orderly shutdown, and the free PowerShield NetGuard software adds monitoring and scheduled shutdowns. An intelligent slot takes the PSSNMPV4 SNMP card, a Modbus card or the PSAS400 relay card. Programmable outlets let you shed non-critical loads to stretch runtime for critical devices, and an emergency power off (EPO) function isolates the UPS in an emergency.

Where it fits

PowerShield lists the Centurion RT range for automatic gates, communications equipment, data centres, industrial sites, infrastructure, medical equipment, mining, security systems and workstations. In practice that means server and comms racks, network cabinets, security recorders and industrial controllers where clean, uninterrupted power matters.

Other PowerShield published runtime figures

PowerShield publishes these backup times for the PSCERT2000. To size a UPS, PowerShield suggests adding up the watts of the equipment to protect and dividing by 0.7 to get the VA rating the UPS must exceed; keep the load within the 1800 W real-power rating as well.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the PowerShield PSCERT2000 from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed October 2026.

The PSCERT2000 is the PowerShield Centurion RT 2000VA true online double-conversion UPS, rated 2000 VA / 1800 W with 5 x 10 A IEC C13 and 3 x Australian sockets.

Yes. It is a true online double-conversion UPS: incoming AC is converted to DC and back to a clean AC output continuously, which isolates equipment from mains problems and gives zero transfer time to battery.

Yes. PowerShield specifies a pure sine wave output in battery mode, which suits sensitive electronics, active PFC power supplies and motors.

About 38 minutes at 700 VA (490 W) and 25 minutes at 1000 VA (700 W) with the UPS alone, per PowerShield's runtime chart. With 1 x PSRTBB12 it is about 95 minutes at 1000 VA. Real runtime varies with temperature and battery age.

Yes. PowerShield lists the PSRTBB12 external battery bank for the PSCERT2000; banks connect to the UPS with a DC cable and further banks daisy-chain.

Yes. The PSCERT2000 has an intelligent slot for the PSSNMPV4 SNMP card, a Modbus card or the PSAS400 relay card. The PSSNMPV4 adds web monitoring, email and SNMP alerts, and automatic shutdown of servers and VMware or Hyper-V hosts.

Yes, for NAS devices that support USB HID UPS signalling. PowerShield states the PSCERT2000 supports HID for Windows, Apple, Linux and NAS devices, so a connected NAS or computer can shut down in an orderly way during a long outage.

Up to 1800 W and 2000 VA. PowerShield suggests adding up the watts of the equipment you want to protect and dividing by 0.7 to get the VA rating the UPS must exceed, then allowing headroom for runtime.
