Product overview

Modular 5kVA three-phase UPS with integrated bypass

The M90C-2S5K combines online double-conversion protection, modular hot-swappable architecture, and an integrated maintenance bypass in a 6U rackmount form factor. With a unity power factor, the full 5kVA output is usable power — no derating, no oversizing required to reach 5kW.

The integrated maintenance bypass eliminates the need for an external bypass cabinet — service technicians can perform module replacement or maintenance without interrupting the protected load. Hot-swappable power and battery modules mean scheduled maintenance or unplanned module replacement never requires a downtime window.

Architecture
Hot-swappable modular design

Power and battery modules are hot-swappable — replace or service individual modules without powering down the load. No maintenance windows required for routine service events.

Bypass
Integrated maintenance bypass

Maintenance bypass is built into the chassis — no external bypass cabinet required. Simplifies installation, reduces footprint, and lowers total installation cost in rack-constrained environments.

Power factor
Unity power factor — 5kVA = 5kW

A unity power factor (1.0) means the full 5kVA rating is available as usable watts. No derating, no oversizing to compensate for power factor losses — what the nameplate says is what you get.

Compliance
TAA compliant for government procurement

TAA compliant for federal, VA, state, and municipal procurement. Certifications include UL 1778, cUL, FCC Class A, and RoHS. Available through authorized federal procurement channels.

Connections
Hardwire or L21-20P input

Supports hardwire or L21-20P input for flexible installation. Optional L21-20R output receptacle for standardized three-phase distribution. Fits common government and healthcare electrical specifications.

Monitoring
SNMP, Modbus, and relay

Advanced monitoring options include SNMP/Web management cards, Modbus communication, and relay cards for facility integration. Supports centralized monitoring across distributed deployments.

Deployment environments

Where the M90C-2S5K is deployed

Government data centers and VA Medical Centers

TAA compliance and VA approved vendor status make the M90C-2S5K the specification-ready choice for federal and VA facility projects. Widely deployed across VA Medical Centers as a replacement for legacy Eaton BladeUPS systems.

Enterprise IT and server rooms

Modular scalability and integrated maintenance bypass support enterprise IT environments requiring maximum uptime — no downtime for routine service, no external bypass cabinet consuming rack space.

Healthcare and medical equipment

Online double-conversion with unity power factor provides clean, conditioned three-phase power for diagnostic equipment, imaging systems, and patient-facing IT infrastructure in regulated healthcare environments.

Industrial and manufacturing

Stable three-phase power for automation systems, process controls, and manufacturing equipment where voltage disturbances affect production continuity and equipment reliability.

Telecom and broadcast

Continuous uptime for communications infrastructure — online double-conversion ensures zero transfer time regardless of utility conditions, keeping broadcast and telecom systems continuously operational.

Universities and public institutions

TAA compliance simplifies procurement in public education and institutional environments. Deployed in campus data centers, research facilities, and institutional IT infrastructure requiring regulated power protection.

Legacy system replacement

Eaton BladeUPS 5kW replacement

The M90C-2S5K is the modern replacement for legacy Eaton BladeUPS 5kW systems. Organizations running end-of-life BladeUPS infrastructure can transition to the M90C-2S5K with improved architecture and current production lifecycle support.

BladeUPS replacement advantages
M90C-2S5K vs Eaton BladeUPS 5kW

The M90C-2S5K provides a smaller rack footprint than the BladeUPS in most configurations, adds an integrated maintenance bypass that the BladeUPS requires as an external option, and brings hot-swappable modular design to a current production platform with active lifecycle support and parts availability.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about the M90C-2S5K

Is Xtreme Power an approved vendor for VA projects?

Yes. Xtreme Power is an approved vendor for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, with UPS systems available through authorized federal procurement channels and deployed across VA Medical Centers nationwide.

Is the M90C-2S5K TAA compliant for government procurement?

Yes. The M90C-2S5K is Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant, making it suitable for federal, state, municipal, and VA procurement without a waiver or exception.

Does the M90C-2S5K support L21-20P and L21-20R connections?

Yes. The system supports L21-20P input and optional L21-20R output, aligning with common government and healthcare electrical specifications. Hardwire input is also supported for permanent installations.

What is the difference between 5kVA and 5kW?

With a unity power factor (1.0), the M90C-2S5K delivers 100% usable power — 5kVA equals 5kW with no derating. Many UPS systems have power factors of 0.8 or 0.9, meaning a “5kVA” UPS only delivers 4kW or 4.5kW of usable output. The M90C-2S5K delivers the full rated amount.

Can the UPS be serviced without shutting down equipment?

Yes. The integrated maintenance bypass and hot-swappable power and battery modules allow full service — including module replacement — without powering down the protected load. No downtime window required for routine maintenance.

What circuit is required for the M90C-2S5K?

The M90C-2S5K fits within the continuous capacity of a 208V 20A three-phase circuit (NEMA L21-20P) — the maximum plug-and-play three-phase circuit without hardwired installation. For larger installations, hardwired input is also supported. See the circuit sizing guide for calculation details.
