The Xtreme Power Conversion M90S-6S, configured for 12 kW usable output, and the Vertiv Liebert APS AS5B0NCVGNNXLKB are modular, true online, double-conversion UPS systems designed to protect mission-critical IT, network, and edge-infrastructure loads.
While both platforms support modular growth and redundancy, the M90S-6S delivers higher usable power at unity power factor, longer baseline runtime, and greater scalability headroom, making it better suited for higher-density deployments at the 12 kW level.
12 kW Modular Online UPS Comparison
| Feature | XTREME POWER M90S-6S (12 kW) | Vertiv Liebert APS AS5B0NCVGNNXLKB | XPCC Advantage |
| Usable Output Capacity | 12 kVA / 12 kW (unity PF) | 10 kVA / 9 kW | ~33% more usable kW at base rating |
| Topology | Online Double Conversion | Online Double Conversion | Equivalent protection |
| Internal Runtime (Full Load, base battery) | ~9 min @ 12 kW | ~5 min @ 9 kW | Longer baseline runtime without EBMs |
| Scalability / Redundancy | Scales to 24 kVA, or 18 kVA N+1 | Scales to 15 kVA (N+1) | Greater growth and redundancy headroom |
| Maintenance Bypass | Standard, integrated | Optional external maintenance bypass | Reduced accessories and installation cost |
| Display & Diagnostics | Chassis LCD + module-level displays | Chassis-level LCD | More granular local visibility |
| Certifications & Compliance | UL, cUL, TAA Compliant | UL, cUL | Clear positioning for regulated markets |
| Warranty Coverage | 3 years (electronics & batteries) | 2-year limited warranty | Longer standard coverage reduces lifecycle risk |
