Eaton 9PX3K3UG2 – 3000VA 208V Online Double-Conversion UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 9PX3K3UG2 is a 3000VA/3000W 208V online double-conversion UPS built for distributed IT and AV equipment requiring continuous, uninterrupted power. As a 3000VA online UPS for rack-mount IT/AV systems, it protects servers, network switches, and AV processing equipment against blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise with zero transfer time. This 3U rack UPS for commercial AV rack installations fits into a standard 19-inch rack enclosure or operates as a freestanding tower, giving integrators flexibility across data closets, broadcast rooms, and centralized equipment rooms.

Product Description

The 9PX3K3UG2 delivers a full 3000W at unity power factor, meaning its rated wattage equals its VA rating — a meaningful distinction for AV and IT loads with high real-power draw, such as active network switches and processing servers. This online UPS for broadcast and AV equipment uses double-conversion topology to continuously regenerate output power, isolating connected loads from utility disturbances rather than merely reacting to them after the fact. The unit accepts L6-30P or hardwired 208V input on a 10-ft cord and outputs true sine wave power through (2) L6-20R, (2) L6-30R receptacles plus a hardwired option, accommodating a mix of equipment plug types on one UPS. Housed in a 3U rack/tower chassis (17.32 in W x 5.12 in H x 26.93 in D), it fits standard AV/IT rack enclosures used in data closets, broadcast studios, and auditorium equipment rooms. Runtime is rated at 7.5 minutes at full 3000W load and 18.5 minutes at half load, giving facilities staff a window to initiate generator transfer or orderly shutdown procedures. As a rack-mount UPS battery backup installation option, the 9PX3K3UG2 fits scenarios where a single centralized UPS needs to protect multiple pieces of commercial AV and networking equipment sharing a 208V circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this UPS support full-wattage AV/IT loads without derating?

Yes, the 9PX3K3UG2 delivers 3000W at unity power factor, meaning the full VA rating is available as real wattage for connected equipment.

Can it be installed in a standard 19-inch AV/IT rack?

Yes, it is a 3U rack/tower unit that mounts into a standard 19-inch rack enclosure or can be used as a freestanding tower.

What is the electrical requirement for installation?

The unit requires a 208V circuit and can be connected via its L6-30P plug or hardwired by a licensed electrician, depending on the installation.

How does online double-conversion topology differ from line-interactive UPS models?

Double-conversion topology continuously regenerates AC output with zero transfer time, offering a higher level of isolation from utility disturbances than line-interactive designs that only correct voltage or switch to battery when needed.

What warranty and extended service options are available?

The unit carries a 3-year limited warranty on parts, electronics, and batteries, with optional 5-year extended depot exchange or on-site service plans.

Is this UPS suitable for a broadcast studio or auditorium AV rack?

Yes, its double-conversion topology and 3000W capacity make it well suited to broadcast studio, auditorium, and other centralized commercial AV equipment rooms requiring continuous power quality.
