Both are 3 kVA 120V line-interactive AVR pure sine UPS that accept external battery packs and an optional maintenance bypass, and both are TAA-compliant. The 5PX3000RTG2 rates higher real watts (3000 vs 2700 W, unity PF), offers a higher runtime ceiling (up to four EBMs), and adds cybersecure NETWORK-M2/M3 management with per-outlet energy metering. The P80-3000V2 is lighter (67.1 vs 74.5 lb), includes an L5-30R output, and is positioned on value. Confirm Eaton specifications against current Eaton documentation.
Choosing between them
Choose the P80-3000V2 for a lighter, value-focused TAA 3 kVA unit. Choose the 5PX3000RTG2 if you want maximum real watts (3000 W), a higher runtime ceiling, or cybersecure network management.
Choose the P80-3000V2 if you need
- A lighter 3 kVA unit to handle and service
- TAA-compliant procurement at competitive cost
- An L5-30R output for 30 A loads
