8 kW Modular Three-Phase Online UPS Comparison for Data Center and Edge Deployments
The Xtreme Power M90C-2S 8kW from Xtreme Power Conversion is a modular online double-conversion 208/120V three-phase UPS engineered to protect critical IT and infrastructure loads with high efficiency and flexible scalability. Available in 5 kW and 8 kW configurations, the M90C-2S emphasizes serviceability, altitude performance, and operational efficiency.
The Eaton BladeUPS 8kW from Eaton is also a modular three-phase UPS platform commonly deployed in data center environments. While both systems deliver unity power factor output and front-accessible service, key differences appear in display usability, altitude capability, online efficiency, and warranty coverage.
Key Differentiators at a Glance
- Larger local display for easier visibility and configuration
- Higher altitude operation without derating
- Higher efficiency in online operating mode
- Modular front-accessible service architecture
- Longer standard warranty coverage
