&& PREVIOUS FINALIST | MAIN | NEXT FINALIST >> Category: Power Supplies Finalist: 10-kVA Pulsar MX frame or UPS enclosure (Eaton)  Eaton’s 10 kVA Pulsar MX Frame (or UPS enclosure) consists of an innovative system design that is the first in the industry to accommodate hot-swappable power and battery modules in a very compact 10U (17.5 inch) configuration. This unique design offers a low-entry cost to scalable back-up power in one easy-to-populate modular system. Prior to this approach, users would have to purchase a completely new UPS to meet increased power levels. Now, users can decide to acquire a cost-competitive Pulsar MX 5000 RT UPS and migrate to a fully scalable, redundant solution using the Pulsar MX Frame while still using the original power and battery sub-modules of the original 5 kVA stand-alone UPS.When the Pulsar MX on-line double-conversion power modules are connected in parallel within the new Pulsar MX Frame, the power can be readily scaled from 5 kVA to 10 kVA – without disrupting connected equipment – all within the Frame. With up to 9 kW or 4.5 kW with N+1 redundancy, this scalable solution is a perfect match for a rack populated with blade servers. Using only 3U (5.25 inches) for the combination of power and battery sub-modules, the 5 kVA rackmount/tower UPS units feature hot-swappable battery and power sub-modules, auto battery-test, switched outlets and a multilingual LCD display. Eaton’s Pulsar MX Frame is the first to offer a scalable approach to back-up power that is easy to use, energy efficient and provides a cost-effective solution for growing power needs. |
