Eaton 5S1500LCD - Tower UPS 1500 VA/900 W
Overview
The Eaton 5S1500LCD is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) engineered for 120 V AC environments to provide battery backup, basic surge protection, and voltage regulation for IT and office equipment. It is typically deployed by IT engineers and facilities technicians to protect desktops, workstations, communication devices, and small servers against utility power interruptions, voltage sags, and transient events that could cause data loss or unexpected shutdowns.
This UPS supports a 1500 VA (900 W) capacity with line-interactive topology, providing automatic voltage regulation (AVR) across a broad input range (93-138 V AC nominal) and maintaining usable output without switching to battery for minor disturbances. Power is delivered through ten NEMA 5-15R outlets, and the unit accepts mains via a NEMA 5-15P plug on a ~6 ft (1.8 m) cord.
A front-panel LCD display presents real-time information on load level, battery status, input/output voltage, and event indicators, enabling onsite diagnostics without host software. Standard communications include a USB HID port for connection to Eaton's UPS Companion software, which facilitates orderly shutdown automation and event logging in managed systems.
Physically, the 5S1500LCD is a tower form factor (9.8″ H × 3.4″ W × 15.0″ D, ~25.5 lb), suitable for installation on floors, shelves, or within space-constrained racks where supported; it does not include dedicated rackmount accessories as standard. Built-in ABM battery management extends battery service life via a three-stage charging algorithm and provides early replacement notification.
In deployment, this unit is well-suited for protecting small office equipment, edge compute nodes, and workstation clusters where brief outage bridging and basic surge suppression are required. It is not designed for core data center UPS protection, extended runtime requirements, or large power distribution systems; extended runtime options are not available on this model.
