Eaton 9PX5KP2G2 – 5000VA Online Double-Conversion UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 9PX5KP2G2 is a 5000VA/5000W online double-conversion UPS built for commercial IT rooms, data closets, and large AV equipment racks that cannot tolerate power interruption. As a hardwired 6U rack/tower UPS, it functions as a foundation for commercial UPS battery backup installation projects where 208/120V equipment racks need conditioned, uninterrupted power. Continuous double-conversion topology isolates connected switches, servers, and AV processors from blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise rather than merely reacting to them. This model suits AV integrators and facilities teams specifying a rack-mount UPS for AV rack power protection in broadcast studios, government facilities, and other high-uptime commercial environments.

Product Description

The 9PX G2 platform is Eaton's current-generation online double-conversion UPS line, and the 9PX5KP2G2 configuration delivers 5000VA/5000W of continuous output at 208V input with 120/240V output, sized for distributed IT racks and edge network closets. Because the unit is hardwired rather than receptacle-based, it is typically installed by a licensed electrician as a dedicated circuit for a server rack, data closet, or centralized AV equipment room—an important distinction for AV integrators scoping a commercial UPS battery backup installation. True online double-conversion operation means the UPS is always converting incoming AC to DC and back to a clean sine wave AC output, so connected equipment never experiences a transfer time gap during a power event. That constant conditioning protects sensitive DSP-based AV processors, matrix switchers, and networking gear from voltage sags, surges, and harmonic distortion that would otherwise shorten equipment life. At 96% efficiency under full load, the unit runs cooler and reduces the ongoing operating cost of maintaining an always-on UPS in a data closet or AV rack room. The 6U rack/tower form factor and included Gigabit network management card (NETWORK-M3) allow facilities and AV teams to monitor UPS health, load, and battery status remotely, which matters for broadcast studios, government facilities, and other sites where unplanned downtime is not acceptable. For sites needing longer runtime than the internal battery provides, this UPS accepts external Eaton 9PX G2 extended battery modules for scalable, daisy-chained backup power.

Key Features

• 5000VA/5000W Output — Delivers full-rated wattage with no derating, supporting demanding IT and AV rack loads.
• Online Double-Conversion Topology — Continuously conditions incoming power so connected equipment sees zero transfer time during outages.
• 208V Input, 120/240V Output — Matches common commercial electrical service configurations found in data closets and AV equipment rooms.
• 6U Rack/Tower Form Factor — Fits standard 19-inch equipment racks alongside AV processing and network gear.
• 96% Efficiency at Full Load — Reduces heat output and operating cost for always-on commercial installations.
• Included Gigabit Network Card — The NETWORK-M3 card enables remote monitoring and SNMP/HTTP management of UPS status.
• Extended Battery Module Support — Accepts compatible Eaton 9PX G2 EBMs for extended runtime beyond the internal battery.
• 3-Year Limited Warranty — Parts, electronics, and batteries are covered, reducing long-term ownership risk on a critical power component.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio equipment racks requiring uninterrupted on-air power
• Government space data closets and control rooms needing redundant power protection
• Commercial meeting space installations with centralized AV/IT racks serving multiple rooms
• Auditorium AV equipment rooms with high sustained power draw

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Eaton 9PX5KP2G2 compatible with existing 9PX battery modules?

It is compatible with Eaton 9PX G2-series extended battery modules rated for this platform. Confirm the exact EBM model number against the current Eaton compatibility list before ordering, since G1 and G2 battery modules are not always interchangeable without an adapter cable.

Does this UPS require a licensed electrician for installation?

Yes. Because the 9PX5KP2G2 uses hardwired input and output connections rather than standard receptacles, installation should be performed by a licensed electrician as part of a dedicated circuit, consistent with commercial UPS battery backup installation best practices.

Can this UPS support a rack of AV processing and network switching equipment together?

Yes. At 5000VA/5000W it has sufficient headroom for a mixed rack of AV matrix switchers, DSPs, and network switches, provided the combined connected load stays within the rated capacity.

What runtime should we expect during a power outage?

Internal battery runtime is 3.5 minutes at full 5000W load and 9.4 minutes at half load. Facilities needing longer ride-through time should add compatible extended battery modules.

What warranty coverage comes with this UPS?

Eaton provides a 3-year limited warranty covering parts, electronics, and batteries on this model.

Does Creation Networks provide support for sizing and installing this UPS in an AV rack?

Yes. Contact Creation Networks for help sizing load capacity, planning battery runtime, and coordinating installation with your electrical contractor.
