M90Ci-2S 10 kW vs Eaton BladeUPS ZC122P060100000
The Xtreme Power M90Ci-2S 10 kW and the Eaton BladeUPS ZC122P060100000 are rack-mounted 400 V three-phase UPS for 380/400/415 V applications. Both provide 10 kW continuous online capacity in a 6U rack, but the BladeUPS is discontinued and uses double-conversion-on-demand with an external maintenance bypass; the M90Ci-2S is a current-production platform with full-time online double-conversion, integrated maintenance bypass, higher online efficiency, and active lifecycle support.
Why the M90Ci-2S replaces the BladeUPS ZC122
- Current-production platform with active lifecycle support (the BladeUPS ZC122 is discontinued).
- True full-time online double-conversion vs the BladeUPS’s double-conversion-on-demand.
- Integrated internal maintenance bypass vs an external bypass requirement.
- Higher online efficiency (94.5% vs 91.5%).
- Higher altitude capability without derating (5,200 vs 3,300 ft).
- TAA-compliant global platform for government procurement eligibility.

The Eaton BladeUPS ZC122P060100000 is a discontinued platform; figures reflect manufacturer documentation. The M90Ci-2S is the current-production replacement with full-time online topology and integrated bypass. (The TAA note is being added to the M90Ci-2S datasheet.)
Choosing between them
Both provide 10 kW online capacity in a 6U 400 V rack, so the decision is mainly between a supported, current platform and continuing a discontinued install. Choose the M90Ci-2S for true online protection, integrated bypass, higher efficiency, and active lifecycle support; the BladeUPS only makes sense to match an existing legacy deployment.
Choose the M90Ci-2S 10 kW if you need
- BladeUPS replacement in global 400 V racks
- Sites requiring true online double-conversion protection
- Installations needing integrated maintenance bypass
- High-altitude deployments
- Projects requiring current lifecycle support
- TAA-compliant international infrastructure
The BladeUPS ZC122P060100000 may fit if you need
- Existing legacy BladeUPS deployments
- Facilities standardized on Eaton rack UPS
- Installations maintaining installed spare modules
