Question 1

is this noisy and can i connect it to a normal outlet?

Accepted Answer

This unit is quiet, however it requires a 30 AMP 120V twist plug connection. not a standard wall outlet due to the capacity of the unit.  This unit performs better than the SMT-3000.  The batteries are sealed in a single metal case that makes servicing them easier.  The internal relay contacts on the SMX-3000 that switch over the power from line to battery are more robust that can handle switching under load better, I have had many failed welded contacts on the cheaper SMT-3000.   This unit is worth the money.

It's rack mountable or tower standing (as pictured). I have this unit in my rack.

Question 3

is this noisy and can i connect it to a normal outlet?

Accepted Answer

You CAN NOT connect this to a normal outlet.  The plug is different and is 110-120 30 amps with a special plug.

It would only be noisy after an event when it was charging back up.  Under normal circumstances you'll never hear it.
