Eaton 5SC UPS
Power and Performance
The Eaton 5SC UPS series offers 500–3000 VA (350–2100 W, 0.7 power factor), ideal for servers, networking devices, and POS systems. Its line-interactive topology with buck/boost AVR corrects voltage (184–276 V) without battery use, ensuring clean power. Pure sinewave output supports active PFC power supplies. Runtime is approximately 5–10 min at 70% load (model-dependent). Users praise its reliability but note limited runtime without external batteries. Perfect for small business IT.
Connectivity and Protection
It features 6–8 IEC C13 or NEMA 5-15R outlets (model-dependent, all battery-backed) with a C14 input (500–1500 VA) or C20 (2200–3000 VA). Surge protection meets IEC 61643-11. USB and serial ports enable integration with Eaton Intelligent Power Manager via a proxy server for remote monitoring. Adjustable input sensitivity suits gensets. Users value sinewave output but note no data line protection or EcoControl. Ideal for sensitive IT equipment.
Design and Features
Weighing 6.6–26.5 kg, it offers tower, rack (2U), or rack/tower (RT) models (e.g., 1000i Rack2U, 441–522 mm depth). The LCD interface displays voltage, load, and runtime, with configurable settings (output voltage, alarms). Features user-replaceable 12 V 7–9 Ah batteries and cold-start capability. Fanless up to 1500 VA (approximately 25 dB). Users like the compact design but note no EBM support. Ideal for kiosks and server rooms.
