Backup Power (UPS)

Higher Power Availability

The main purpose of an UPS system is to provide continuous, reliable power at all times. To achieve this, Eaton has developed a series of advanced technologies that ensure highest availability of our UPSs. Each of these technologies makes a difference in creating resilient and safe UPSs that you can rely on, no matter the conditions.

Maximize availability and reliability of UPS systems

Load sharing is crucial for reliable paralleling of UPSs. In a conventional UPS system, a loss of communication between UPSs would result in a transfer to bypass, leaving your equipment at risk. However, the Eaton patented HotSync technology eliminates this single point of failure (loss of communication), enabling the highest availability for your UPS system

Performance in higher temperatures

Our UPSs are designed for continuous operation at an ambient temperature of up to 40°C, without de-rating. In a typical installation where UPSs are operated at partial load, they will deliver safe power even in higher temperatures without shutting down. This allows high availability and time to react even in case of room cooling malfunction.

Installation compatibility

Besides protecting your critical assets, Eaton UPSs can provide several benefits to your electrical installation. Input power factor correction eliminates any reactive power and harmonics of a misbehaving load, minimizing load and heating of the supplying transformers, switchgear and cabling.

Power sharing of the rectifier and energy storage allows to keep the critical load online, while cutting peaks and/or smoothly ramping (transferring load) between generator and grid supply.

Cybersecurity

As organizations become more digitalized, it becomes critical to protect the availability and confidentiality of systems. Cybersecurity is at the core of our Secure-by-design philosophy, and embedded in our platforms and products. Eaton's Cyber Security Assessment process helps manage risks through the entire product life cycle — from threat modeling, requirements analysis, implementation and verification to ongoing maintenance.

Manage risk, ensure resilience

Safety made easy

Eaton’s 3-phase UPSs feature pre-designed, pre-tested and pre-installed components that deliver regulatory compliance and ensure safe use. For example, the built-in backfeed protection of Eaton UPS protects against hazardous voltages upstream. Rather than relying on site specific solutions, this ensures that safety requirements are fulfilled in a standard way. This also makes the deployment easier and cost-effective.

Control safety, control the quality

Proven to manage high current

The fault current levels of an installation are mainly determined by the size of incoming transformer. Equipment closer to the transformer may experience high fault currents, especially in large installations.

Our UPSs are validated at high prospective short circuit currents (Icc) of up to 100kA, which makes them suitable for practically any installation. Eaton UPSs are guaranteed to be safe and compatible with your installation, no conditions apply.
