Introduction

The Eaton® 93E 20–30 kVA uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a true online, continuous-duty, transformerless, double-conversion, solid-state, three-phase system, providing conditioned and uninterruptible AC power to protect the customer’s load from power failures.

The Eaton 93E 20–30 kVA online power protection system is used to prevent the loss of valuable electronic information, minimize equipment downtime, and minimize the adverse effect on production equipment due to unexpected power problems.

The Eaton 93E 20–30 kVA UPS continually monitors incoming electrical power and removes the surges, spikes, sags, and other irregularities that are inherent in commercial utility power. Working with a building’s electrical system, the UPS system supplies clean, consistent power that sensitive electronic equipment requires for reliable operation. During brownouts, blackouts, and other power interruptions, batteries provide emergency power to safeguard operations.

The UPS is housed in a single free-standing cabinet, with safety shields behind the door for hazardous voltage protection. Figure 1 shows the Eaton 93E 20–30 kVA UPS.

UPS Standard Features

The UPS has many standard features that provide cost-effective and consistently reliable power protection. The descriptions in this section provide a brief overview of the UPS standard features.

Installation Features

Power wiring can be routed to the back of the cabinet with connections made to easily accessible terminals.
Control wiring can be installed using conduit through the bottom of the power terminal cover base or by routing wiring through the power terminal cover base wiring channels and must be installed following Class 1 wiring methods.

Control Panel

The control panel, located on the front of the UPS, contains a liquid crystal display (LCD) and pushbutton switches to control the operation of the UPS and to display the status of the UPS system. See Chapter 7 UPS Operating Instructions for additional information.

Customer Interface

Building Alarm Monitoring
- Up to three inputs in the UPS are available to connect the facility’s alarm system contacts. The UPS uses these inputs to monitor the building alarms in addition to the UPS status.
- Some system configurations may limit the number of inputs available.
Mini-Slot Communication Bays
- Two communication bays are standard equipment.
- One to two optional Mini-Slot® connectivity cards can be installed in the UPS module at any time.
- Mini-slot cards are quickly installed at the rear of the UPS and are hot-pluggable.
- For additional information on these topics, see Chapter 8 Communication.

High-Efficiency Normal Mode

The 93E Series UPS offers a High-Efficiency (HE) normal mode with double-conversion on demand that allows the UPS to operate in standby bypass mode.
This mode allows the 93E UPS to achieve 98% efficiency while still protecting the load.
High-efficiency mode is the default normal operating mode. See Chapter 7 UPS Operating Instructions for additional information.

Battery System

The battery system provides emergency short-term backup power to safeguard operations during brownouts, blackouts, and other power interruptions.
The battery system is equipped with lead-acid batteries.
The 93E–30/20 and 93E–30/30 UPS battery systems use internal batteries with External Battery Cabinet (EBC) capability. Up to two Eaton 93E External Battery Cabinets (EBCs) can be added to the UPS system. The EBCs are connected in parallel with the internal batteries to provide extended run time.
The 93E–20 UPS (reduced battery string model) battery system uses internal batteries only with no EBC capability.
All UPSs in a parallel system must have the same battery configuration.

Advanced Battery Management

A three-stage charging system increases battery service life by optimizing recharge time and protects batteries from damage due to high current charging and inverter ripple currents.
Charging at high currents can overheat and damage batteries.
