Eaton BladeUPS
Scalable Power Protection
The Eaton BladeUPS is a three-phase, double-conversion UPS designed for high-density computing environments like data centers and IT applications. Each 6U module delivers 12 kW (12 kVA, PF=1), scalable up to 60 kW (N+1 redundancy) in a 19-inch rack. Internal batteries provide ~5–10 minutes runtime at full load (12 kW per module). Powerware Hot Sync technology ensures seamless paralleling without single-point failure. Surge protection (IEC 61000-4-5) handles spikes up to ~2 kV. Users praise high power density but note discontinued status and limited runtime without external batteries.
Compact Design and Connectivity
The 6U rackmount form factor (10.5 inches tall) includes internal batteries, minimizing footprint. Supports 208V (North America) or 400V (international, 380–415V) inputs with auto-frequency sensing (50/60 Hz). Features RS-232, optional Gigabit Network Card (Web/SNMP, Modbus TCP/IP), and Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) for temperature/humidity monitoring. Bright LCD and Eaton Intelligence Platform enable real-time status tracking. Low heat dissipation (~1/3 of competitors) reduces cooling costs. Users value compact design but note complex paralleling setup for non-experts.
Battery and Software Management
Internal lead-acid batteries (3–5 year lifespan) or optional 3U extended battery modules (EBMs) provide ~5–10 minutes runtime at 12 kW. ABM technology extends battery life by ~50%. Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) and Intelligent Power Protector (IPP) software support VM migration, auto-discovery, and shutdown automation for VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft platforms. Efficiency reaches 97% in double-conversion mode. Users appreciate IPM integration but report high EBM costs (~$1,000–$2,000) and discontinued status limiting support.
