Eaton SU1000XLCD – 1 kVA Double‑Conversion UPS

Overview

The Eaton SU1000XLCD is a 1 kVA / 900 W online (double‑conversion) uninterruptible power supply (UPS) used by IT engineers, data center technicians, and facilities professionals to protect rack or tower‑mounted systems from blackouts, brownouts, surge events, and line noise. Its true online topology delivers continuous power through a double‑conversion inverter, eliminating transfer delays between mains and battery power — critical for sensitive servers and network appliances.

Rated for 120 V single‑phase input and output, it supplies six NEMA 5‑15R outlets suitable for small racks, edge network gear, or terminal servers where a moderate VA load must be protected and conditioned. Its 0 ms transfer time and pure sine‑wave output maintain clean voltage and frequency for connected loads.

The SU1000XLCD’s tower form factor integrates into IDF/office closet or small data center environments where rack placement is not strictly required, but shelf or stand‑alone protection is needed. Its LCD display shows real‑time status and key electrical parameters, enabling onsite load and battery visibility without external tools.

Integration options include USB and DB9 communications ports for interface with Eaton’s PowerAlert software, and a slot for optional network management cards (e.g., WEBCARDLXE) for remote monitoring or centralized UPS management. Expandable runtime is supported via external battery modules (EBM) to extend hold‑up during extended outages.

A practical deployment example is safeguarding servers and networking endpoints in a branch office IDF where power stability is inconsistent. This UPS should not be used as the primary UPS for high‑density rack systems demanding >900 W continuous capacity, or in environments where 208/230 V or three‑phase support is required — larger units or infrastructure PDUs should be selected for those voltages.
