5 kW Modular Three Phase Online UPS Comparison for Enterprise and Edge Deployments
The Xtreme Power M90C-2S 5kW from Xtreme Power Conversion is a compact modular online double conversion 208/120V three phase UPS designed to protect critical IT and infrastructure loads with high efficiency and simplified serviceability. Available in 5 kW and 8 kW configurations, the M90C-2S emphasizes reduced rack footprint, modular front-access service, and strong performance at higher altitudes.
The Eaton 93PX 5kW from Eaton is a traditional three phase UPS platform commonly deployed in enterprise environments. While both systems deliver unity power factor output, key differences appear in modularity, service architecture, rack footprint, altitude capability, and operating efficiency.
Key Differentiators at a Glance
- Modular architecture with front-access hot swappable modules
- Significantly smaller rack footprint and reduced depth
- Higher altitude operation without derating
- Higher efficiency in both online and ECO operating modes
- Simplified maintenance without external battery and bypass cabinets
