Eaton 9130 – combines the best technical features to meet modern electrical and IT needs

Eaton 9130 700 -3000 VA, a part of the Powerware product line, is a brand new UPS from Eaton, designed for IT and networking equipment, medical systems and manufacturing process control. Eaton 9130 protects the connected equipment from damage or failure caused by power anomalies.

“Eaton 9130 is probably the best solution on the market because it combines all the technical features to meet the requirements of critical applications,” says Christophe Jammes, Product Manager, EMEA.

Eaton 9130 protects equipment from downtime, data loss and process interruption by providing continuous, clean power. It brings superior performance with 95 percent or higher efficiency to significantly decrease energy bills and a 0.9 output power factor which provides full power capacity for today’s demanding IT equipment.

Eaton 9130 has modern, compact black rack and tower designs which enable flexible installations. With Eaton 9130 RM version, up to 3000 VA power is packed into only 2U of rack space.

Eaton 9130 will be available in EMEA from October 2008.

Ensuring continuous, clean power

Eaton 9130 constantly monitors vital functions such as power conditions, voltage, temperature, internal components, and battery health.

Online double conversion topology regulates both voltage and frequency. The output remains within three percent of the nominal voltage even in case of serious power problems.

If Eaton 9130 detects a potential problem, it raises alarms or takes corrective action. If there is a disruption, it instantly transfers the power path to a bypass source without any interruption in power. When the problem is resolved, Eaton 9130 automatically reverts to normal operations.

All the functions of Eaton 9130 can easily be configured and monitored in real-time on a graphical LCD display which supports five different languages.

Reliable power protection

Thanks to a wide input voltage range, Eaton 9130 uses batteries only when utility power is highly unstable or completely out. In such cases, Eaton 9130 transfers to battery usage without any interruption in power. Batteries keep the loads running until the system is properly shut down.

The batteries utilise Advanced Battery Management (ABM®) technology. The 3-stage charging process optimises recharge time, eliminates overcharging and monitors battery condition continuously. The technology prolongs battery lifetime by up to 50 percent and optimises and extends battery runtime and reliability. Eaton 9130 provides up to 60 days’ notice of the end of useful battery life.

As many as four external battery modules can be added to extend the UPS’s runtime up to 4 hours. Internal and external batteries can be hot-swapped while the equipment is running, ensuring continuous operation.

Load segmentation divides the UPS into virtual UPSs with separate receptacle groups. Each group can be programmed with individual shutdown and start-up schedules, thus preserving battery power for the most critical equipment.

Intelligent power management with LanSafe

Eaton 9130 ensures data and system integrity with LanSafe® power management software. Intelligent alarm management capabilities make it easy to control and monitor all UPS systems and to secure the independent load segment control.

The standard unit comes with an RS-232 serial communications port. Connectivity options are available for most networking environments. An X-Slot interface option is also available.

To achieve even more effectiveness, manageability and resilience in a data facility, Eaton 9130 can be extended with several options, including power distribution units.
