Eaton 9SX3000HW – Online UPS 3000 VA 2700 W 120 V

Overview

The Eaton 9SX3000HW is a hardwired, online double‑conversion uninterruptible power supply (UPS) engineered to provide conditioned AC power and battery backup to critical 120 V infrastructure loads. It is deployed by data center engineers, network architects, and facilities teams to protect core servers, storage systems, aggregation switches, and virtualization hosts from mains power disturbances such as brownouts, surges, frequency deviations, and complete outages. The double‑conversion topology actively rectifies and regenerates output, delivering a true sine‑wave supply with zero transfer time between utility and battery modes for uninterrupted operation.

Rated at 3000 VA / 2700 W with a 0.9 output power factor, the unit supports higher‑density rack equipment typical in consolidation and core rack zones. It incorporates Eaton’s ABM battery management technology to extend battery service life and allows hot‑swappable internal batteries and support for extended battery modules (EBMs) to scale runtime for prolonged outages.

The form factor is tower‑style with a hardwired input and hardwired output, making the unit suitable for floor‑standing installation adjacent to electrical panels or within dedicated UPS cabinets. Its compact footprint and internal bypass allow service and maintenance without interrupting protected loads, fitting well in data halls, equipment rooms, and medium‑sized rack deployments where 120 V distribution is standard.

Communication options include a Mini‑Slot expansion port for optional network cards, USB (HID) port, and RS‑232 serial interface, enabling remote monitoring, event logging, and controlled shutdowns when used with Eaton’s Intelligent Power Software Suite or SNMP management cards. A 5‑button graphical user interface on the front panel provides local visibility into status and alarms.

A practical deployment example is powering a consolidation rack containing virtualized hosts, SAN/NAS storage, and core aggregation switches. During utility power faults or outages, the online double‑conversion design supplies uninterrupted, tightly regulated power while optional EBMs provide extended runtime to bridge to standby generators or orderly shutdowns.

This model is not suitable for small branch closets or simple desktop environments where lower‑capacity line‑interactive UPS models suffice, nor for systems requiring modular power modules or hot‑swap service bypass cabinets found in larger enterprise UPS families.
