BladeUPS® is an uninterruptible power system (UPS) that protects your sensitive electronic
equipment from the most common power problems, including power failures, power sags, power surges,
brownouts, and line noise.
Power outages can occur when you least expect it, and power quality can be erratic. These power problems
have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and damage hardware—causing
hours of lost productivity and expensive repairs.
With the BladeUPS, you can safely eliminate the effects of power disturbances and guard the integrity of your
equipment. The BladeUPS is designed for critical applications such as ultra high-density blade servers in a data
center environment. Figure 1 shows the BladeUPS with an optional Extended Battery Module (EBM).

Providing outstanding performance and reliability, unique BladeUPS benefits include the following:
•
High-density three-phase input, three-phase output UPS.
•
Scalability to 60 kW (redundant N+1 configuration) by connecting up to six additional BladeUPS modules. A
standalone UPS converts to a parallel UPS by changing the line cord and adding a communication card.
Each UPS in the parallel system connects to a BladeUPS Bar pre-installed in the rear of an Eaton rack.
Racks can be configured for bottom or top entry.
A Powerware Hot Sync

Controller Area Network (CAN) Bridge Card in each paralleled UPS provides
connectivity for system metering and operational mode control. In a parallel system that is not fully loaded,
each BladeUPS module will equally share the load. If the system loses input AC power, the system will
shift load to the UPSs with the strongest batteries to maximize runtime when on battery. Parallel systems
can be configured for capacity or redundancy and automatically increase redundancy as load levels
decrease in 12 kW steps.
