Eaton Announces UPS Enhancements

RALEIGH, N.C. ... Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced it has further extended the power ratings for the Eaton 395 uninterruptible power system (UPS) to an industry-leading 1100 kVA.

In addition, the new Eaton 9395 System Bypass Module (SBM) makes it possible to parallel 9395 UPSs with non-identical kVA ratings. The new offerings will be unveiled during AFCOM Data Center World in Orlando, Fla.

The 9395 1100 kVA UPS, part of the Powerware(r) series, further extends the power rating from the 825 kVA system that was launched earlier this year. The leading kVA rating in the industry targets the largest data centers, and the multi-module, non-identical size paralleling capabilities of the SBM gives Eaton's customers tremendous flexibility to precisely match any current or future power needs.

"Eaton continually looks to meet the industry demand for innovative, larger power systems while maintaining the same power performance, energy savings, reliability, flexibility and small footprint features that have defined Eaton's mission-critical UPSs for decades," said Pedro Robredo, three-phase UPS product line manager, Eaton's Power Quality Division.

As a result of four decades of experience paralleling large systems, Eaton's SBM technology has the capability to parallel up to 32 power modules of the 9395 UPS. This allows great flexibility and the ability to back most of the largest data center power sizes. The SBM's customizable cabinet features a large LCD touch screen to display system and UPS status and easily control system operation. It provides an intuitive navigation to quickly access key information such as battery runtime remaining, event and alarm history and system metering.

"The 9395 transformerless technology allows higher operating efficiencies and smaller footprint which translate into reduced utility costs and space savings. As you move into higher power, the related cost savings are more significant," said Robredo. "We want our customers to benefit from decreased total cost of ownership and help companies operate to meet their green strategies."
