Eaton 5PX3000RT3UNG2 - 3000 VA Rack/Tower Line-Interactive UPS
Overview
The Eaton 5PX3000RT3UNG2 is a 3 kVA / 3 kW line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to provide UPS protection and controlled AC power for rack-mounted and tower IT infrastructure. It is specified for network closets, branch data rooms, and edge computing environments where utility power anomalies (brownouts, surges, short interruptions) must be mitigated to protect servers, storage, and networking gear. This unit delivers clean, conditioned power with minimal transfer time, ensuring operational continuity.
Internally, it uses sealed lead-acid batteries with ABM three-stage charging to extend service life and reduce total maintenance events. The UPS supports up to four external battery modules (EBMs) for extended runtime beyond its internal battery capacity when prolonged autonomy is required.
The 5PX3000RT3UNG2 installs in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on the floor in tower mode using the included rail kit and pedestal feet. It occupies 3 rack units (3U) and offers a mix of receptacles × one NEMA L5-30R plus six NEMA 5-20R × to distribute power to connected loads flexibly.
Communications and control are delivered via an integrated Gigabit network card (pre-installed), a graphical LCD interface, USB and serial ports, and support for Eaton's management suite such as Brightlayer Data Centers. This enables remote monitoring, event logging, and orderly shutdown of connected systems when required.
A typical deployment includes providing backup power and surge protection for a rack of virtualized servers, SAN storage controllers, and edge network appliances. Conversely, this UPS is not suitable for 208/230 V input environments without appropriate transformers or model variants × ensure input voltage matches site power infrastructure.
