Eaton 9PX uninterruptible power supplies

The Eaton 9PXs are energy-efficient 6 to 11 kVA future-proofed UPSs for virtualised environments. The 9PX high power density and power usage effectiveness (PUE) is a power protection solution for IT and facility managers who are tasked with managing rising energy costs and consumption.

The devices come as a compact rack/tower versatile form factor, delivering 5400 W in a 3U and 10,000 W in a 6U profile. The 9PX features up to 95% efficiency in online double conversion mode and 98% in high-efficiency mode with a power factor of 0.9.

In double conversion topology the 9PX constantly monitors power conditions and regulates voltage and frequency for optimised power management. As a result, the 9PX is suitable for users looking to protect their equipment in computer rooms and small data centres as well as in industrial, manufacturing and medical applications.

For enhanced manageability, a graphical LCD provides information on the UPS’s full status and analytics as well as configuration parameters. Users have the option to monitor energy consumption at the UPS via the LCD and/or remotely through Eaton’s Intelligent Power Software Suite, which is compatible with virtualised IT environments such as VMware vCenter, Microsoft HyperV, Citrix XEN and Red Hat KVM.

To ensure service continuity, in the unlikely event of issues with internal electronics for example, Eaton has equipped the 9PX with redundant components as well as an internal self-powered bypass. A maintenance bypass module is also available for easy replacement of the UPS without interruption to critical systems. The entire 9PX range incorporates Eaton’s Hot Sync paralleling technology, enabling scaled UPS redundancy or capacity deployment as business requirements change.
