TAA-Compliant 5kW Modular Three-Phase UPS for VA Medical Centers (VAMC)
Purpose-Built UPS Replacement for VA EHR Modernization (EHRM)
The Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) initiative led by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is driving the replacement of thousands of legacy Eaton BladeUPS systems across VA Medical Centers (VAMC) nationwide.
Following Eaton’s announcement that the BladeUPS platform entered End-of-Life (EOL) with transition beginning October 1, 2023, VA facilities and EHRM prime contractors are migrating to modern, TAA-compliant, rack-mounted UPS systems that meet today’s uptime, serviceability, and federal procurement requirements.
The Xtreme Power M90C-2S5K is a 5kW (5kVA) three-phase modular UPS engineered specifically to support VA EHRM deployments, offering a compliant, serviceable, and future-ready replacement for legacy BladeUPS installations.

VA EHRM projects are actively replacing the following Eaton BladeUPS models:
- Eaton BladeUPS ZC0517700110000
- Eaton BladeUPS ZC0517708100000
These systems present increasing challenges due to:
- End-of-life status and reduced manufacturer support
