Rack-mounted, three-phase online UPS introduced

Rack-mounted three-phase UPS from Eaton

A new uninterruptible power supply (UPS) promising high efficiency, with a compact footprint and lower total cost of ownership (TCO), is now available to South African and East African markets.  

The rack-mounted, three-phase UPS from power management company Eaton features improved cybersecurity and offers stable power for critical information technology, industrial, manufacturing and medical applications.

The total space requirement for a comprehensive setup and a fully operational solution is 9U, which includes one power module and two battery packs each occupying 3U of space. If a maintenance bypass module is also included, the total rack space utilised would be 12U. Parallel operation is possible to achieve redundancy or an expanded power rating. The UPS can also be deployed as a rack-mounted or freestanding tower unit, which ensures added flexibility. A built-in gravity sensor allows the large colour touchscreen to rotate automatically.

Eaton says technologies such as its Energy Saver System, or ESS, help to lower the TCO and that the the 93PX can power more servers than UPS units with equivalent volt-ampere, or VA, making the unit more efficient and cost-effective.

The intelligent power management software of the Eaton 93PX UPS is designed to be compatible with all major types of virtualisation software. Integrated intelligent features and connection to the Eaton Brightlayer suite enable users to monitor, control and optimise energy usage. The UPS has a robust design and is suitable for applications outside of communication rooms.

To ensure improved cybersecurity, the UPS includes Cyber Secured Monitoring designed to provide faster responses to malfunctions; deliver regular, comprehensive reports on UPS performance, including predictive analysis; and facilitate life-cycle management.
