The PowerShield Defender Rackmount 1500VA (PSDR1500) is a line-interactive UPS rated 1500 VA / 900 W in a shallow-depth rackmount design with 5 x Australian sockets and 2 x 10 A IEC outlets. It delivers a simulated sine wave output on battery.

ARC IP Networks supplies the genuine PowerShield PSDR1500 in Australia with the full PowerShield Australian warranty (2 years with advance replacement) and Australia-wide delivery.

PowerShield Defender Rackmount 1500VA overview

The Defender is PowerShield's most popular UPS range: line-interactive with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) that bucks and boosts unstable mains to within 10% of nominal, plus PowerShield's best-in-class surge protection. The PSDR1500 is rated 1500 VA / 900 W (PowerShield calculates Defender output at power factor 0.6) and provides a simulated sine wave output on battery with a 6 ms (typical) transfer time.

The Defender Rackmount brings the Defender features into a rack UPS only 300 mm deep, made for shallow wall-mounted comms cabinets. It provides 5 x Australian sockets and 2 x 10 A IEC outlets, all wide-spaced for larger plugs. Unlike the tower models it adds an intelligent slot for the PSSNMPV4 SNMP card, so you can monitor the UPS and schedule shutdowns, start-ups and reboots over the network. The 1500 VA model uses a long-life battery that PowerShield describes as industry-leading at 10 years.

Everyday features

The LCD shows input and output voltage, load and remaining battery time. The UPS restarts automatically when AC power returns, can cold start from battery, and keeps charging its batteries when switched off. The rackmount models run fan-free on mains power for quieter, more efficient operation. USB with HID lets Windows, Apple, Linux and NAS devices shut down in an orderly way, and the free PowerShield NetGuard software adds monitoring.

Where it fits

PowerShield lists the Defender for shallow wall-mounted comms cabinets, NAS drives and network gear. It is a strong choice for NBN modems and routers, small business PCs and security recorders where line-interactive protection with AVR is enough.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the PowerShield PSDR1500 from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed October 2026.

The PSDR1500 is the PowerShield Defender Rackmount 1500VA line-interactive UPS, rated 1500 VA / 900 W with 5 x Australian sockets and 2 x 10 A IEC outlets.

No. The PSDR1500 is a line-interactive UPS. It uses automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct high and low mains voltage without switching to battery, and transfers to battery in 6 ms (typical) when mains fails. For zero transfer time choose a Centurion online UPS.

No. The PSDR1500 outputs a simulated sine wave in battery mode. For equipment that needs a pure sine wave, such as some active PFC power supplies, motors and gate controllers, choose a Commander or Centurion model.

No. PowerShield lists the PSDR1500 as not expandable with external battery banks. For longer runtime choose a larger model or an expandable Commander RT or Centurion model.

Yes. The PSDR1500 has an intelligent slot for the PSSNMPV4 SNMP 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 PSDR1500 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.

Yes. The PSDR1500 is 300 mm deep, which PowerShield designed for shallow wall-mounted comms cabinets.

Up to 900 W and 1500 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.
