by AF 0730 b3 — July 31, 2009—Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation has announced its award-winning Eaton 9390 and Eaton 9395 uninterruptible power systems (UPSs) in 400V UL-listed configurations. These systems allow consulting-specifying engineers (CSEs) and customers in North America the ability to recognize significant energy savings and efficiency gains while employing proven technologies and architectures.
Of the several alternative power distribution systems currently found in the U.S. and Canada, 400V AC and 600V AC systems are generally accepted as the most viable, says the company. While the 400V power scheme is common in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, Eaton is the first to offer this configuration with UL approval in North America.
Continuing its legacy of innovation with three-phase UPS technology, Eaton leveraged the transformer-free design of the 9390 and 9395 systems to provide a 400V AC solution specifically for North American markets.
According to Eaton, its 400V configuration offers a space-saving alternative to conventional power distribution in the data center and requires no changes to IT devices and power loads. With 400V implementations of Eaton’s 9390 and 9395 systems, the company says it can deliver clean power directly to the IT rack at 230V without the need for a stand-alone power distribution unit (PDU). This approach further maximizes energy and cost savings and conserves valuable data center floor space. Between the transformer-free designs of the 9390 and 9395 and removing the need for a PDU, the energy, footprint and cost savings are significant, according to the company.
