Eaton SU6000RT 6000 VA Online Double-Conversion UPS
Overview :
The Eaton SU6000RT is a rack/tower uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed for critical IT, server, storage, and network infrastructure that demands continuous conditioned power with zero transfer time. It is deployed by data center engineers and infrastructure teams to mitigate blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise while providing controlled shutdown capability during utility outages.
This UPS uses an online double-conversion topology, continuously regenerating output power with a true sine-wave waveform independent of input quality. It is rated at 6000 VA with a 0.9 power factor, enabling up to ~5400 W of usable power at 208 V nominal output. Multiple output connections include L6-20R and L6-30R receptacles plus a hardwired output, supporting direct rack PDU feeds or equipment groups.
The form factor is 3U rackmount with included mounting hardware and optional tower stands, fitting within IDF/MDF racks and row deployments. It integrates advanced features such as network management via the pre-installed WEBCARDLXE, interactive LCD for status and alarms, and optional extended battery modules (EBMs) for increased runtime.
From an integration standpoint, the SU6000RT operates within standard 200-240 V single-phase power ecosystems (factory set to 208 V) and is typically placed upstream of critical loads with appropriate 30 A feeder circuits. It supports managed power environments with remote monitoring via Ethernet and supports facility power coordination through contacts and remote on/off interfaces.
A practical deployment example includes providing conditioned power and temporary outage ride-through for a cluster of virtualization hosts and shared storage in a small data hall. The UPS ensures continuous operation through mains fluctuations and offers sufficient runtime to either sustain loads until generator pickup or allow controlled shutdown sequences.
This unit should not be used for single-phase 120 V IT deployments without step-down infrastructure, nor is it suited for extremely high-density data centers where multi-MW power systems and redundant UPS arrays are required. It also requires appropriate electrical service and compliance with input breaker specifications.
