Eaton 9PX8KG2 – 8000VA Online Double-Conversion UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 9PX8KG2 is an 8kVA/8kW 8kVA online UPS for data closet and distributed edge network deployments requiring zero transfer time power protection at scale. As a 208V rack-mount UPS for AV rack applications, it defends critical IT and AV equipment against blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise. This commercial UPS battery backup installation is built for larger racks with hot-swappable battery service and remote monitoring built in.

Product Description

The 9PX8KG2 delivers 8kVA output with wattage scaling from 7200W to 8000W depending on input voltage (200V, 208V, or 220-240V), housed in a 4U rack/tower chassis with hardwired input and four L6-30R output outlets. As an 8kVA online UPS for data closet and larger network operations center installations, it uses true online double-conversion topology to continuously regenerate clean AC output, protecting broadcast production systems, video wall processors, and consolidated AV control racks from power anomalies without any switching delay. A hot-swappable battery design paired with Eaton's ABM+ battery management technology allows technicians to service or replace batteries without powering down connected loads, an important consideration for always-on commercial AV installations. The unit ships with a Gigabit network card (NETWORK-M3) for SNMP-based remote monitoring, letting facilities managers integrate UPS health and battery status into building management or AV monitoring dashboards. At 4U, this 208V rack-mount UPS for AV rack use fits into standard equipment racks alongside compatible 9PX G2 extended battery modules and step-down transformers, forming a complete power protection chain for larger commercial and broadcast facility deployments.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the 9PX8KG2 be extended with additional battery runtime?

Yes, it is compatible with Eaton's 9PX G2 extended battery modules, including the 9PXEBM180RTG2, which can be daisy-chained to add runtime beyond the standard 5.4-minute full-load rating.

Does this UPS require a hardwired electrical connection?

Yes, the 9PX8KG2 uses a hardwired input and four L6-30R outlets, so installation should be planned with a licensed electrician as part of a commercial power infrastructure project.

Can batteries be serviced without shutting down connected AV equipment?

Yes, the unit features hot-swappable batteries with ABM+ battery management technology, allowing service without an outage to the load.

Does it support remote monitoring integration?

Yes, it includes a Gigabit network card (NETWORK-M3) for SNMP-based remote monitoring that can integrate with facility or AV management platforms.

What is the rack footprint of the 9PX8KG2?

It occupies 4U of rack space in a rack/tower chassis.
