3 Introduction to Eaton UPS
The Eaton 93E 15-80 kVA uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a true
online, continuous-duty, transformer-free, double-conversion, solid-state,
3-phase system that provides conditioned and uninterruptible AC power
to protect the loads connected to it from power failures.
The Eaton 93E 15-80 kVA online power protection system is used to
prevent loss of valuable electronic information, minimise equipment
downtime, and minimise the adverse effect on production equipment
due to unexpected power problems.
The Eaton 93E 15-80 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 anomalies, batteries provide
emergency power to safeguard operation of the load equipment.
The UPS is housed in a single free-standing cabinet, with safety shields
behind the door for hazardous voltage protection.
This manual is for Eaton 93E series UPS, refer Section 10.1 for product
models.
Figure 1 shows the Eaton 93E 15-80 kVA UPS.
NOTE: Start-up and operational checks must be performed by a qualified
service personnel authorized by Eaton. If these instructions are not
followed, the warranty terms specified in Chapter 11 become void. This
service is offered as a part of the sales contract for the UPS. Contact
Eaton service representative in advance to reserve a preferred startup
date.

3.1 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.
3.1.1 Installation features
Power cabling can be routed to the bottom or rear of the cabinet with
connections made to easily accessible terminals. Some models (Eaton
93E-15I / 93E-20I / 93E-30I / 93E-40I) provide rear-only cable access. For
more details, see Section 5.3.
3.1.2 Control panel
The control panel is located on the front of the UPS. It contains a liquid
crystal display (LCD) and push button switches to control the operation
of the UPS and to display the status of the UPS system. For more
information, see Chapter 7.
Eaton 93E UPS 15-80 kVA (380/400/415 V) Installation and Operation Manual
3.1.3 Communication interface
• Signal input monitoring
Up to 3 inputs in the UPS are available to connect the facility's
alarm system contacts. Some system configurations may limit the
number of inputs available. The UPS uses these inputs to monitor
the signal inputs in addition to the UPS status. For more
information, see Chapter 8.
• MiniSlot communication bays
2 communication bays are standard equipment. One to 2 optional
MiniSlot connectivity cards can be installed in the UPS module at
any time. MiniSlot cards are quickly installed at the front of the UPS
(behind the door) and are hot-pluggable. For more information, see
Chapter 8.
3.1.4 High-efficiency mode
The Eaton 93E Series UPS offers a high-efficiency (HE) normal mode
with double-conversion on demand. This mode allows the Eaton 93E
UPS to achieve 98% efficiency while still protecting the load. For
information on how to set the UPS to work in the high efficiency mode,
see Chapter 7.
3.1.5 Advanced Battery Management
A 3-stage charging system increases the battery service life by
optimizing the recharge time. It also protects the batteries from damage
due to high current charging and inverter ripple currents.
3.1.6 Maintenance bypass
The internal maintenance bypass for the 15-80 kVA models consists of
input, output, neutral and bypass input (dual feeds) switches used to
control the AC input to the UPS. The inverter output and the
maintenance bypass switch are used to partially isolate the UPS so that
a limited number of components can be serviced without interrupting
power to the critical systems.
3.2 Options and accessories
Contact your Eaton sales representative for more information about the
available options and accessories.
Eaton 93E UPS 15-80 kVA (380/400/415 V) Installation and Operation Manual
3.2.1 External battery cabinet
Battery backup protection is provided by equipping the UPS system with
up to 4 external battery cabinets (EBCs) containing sealed lead-acid,
maintenance-free batteries. An EBC is a single, free-standing cabinet
designed to be installed as a part of a UPS system, but may be installed
separate from the UPS cabinet.
3.2.2 Parallel system
A parallel UPS system with up to 4 UPSs can be installed to provide a
parallel capacity and/or redundant system. This load sharing system
provides more capacity than a single UPS, and can provide redundancy,
depending on the load and configuration. In addition, when one UPS is
taken out of service for maintenance or is not operating properly, a
redundant UPS continues to supply uninterrupted power to the critical
load. A Controller Area Network (CAN) bridge provides connectivity for
system metering and operational mode control. The parallel system
consists of 2 to 4 UPSs each with a parallel CAN bridge, and a tie cabinet
or system parallel module to act as a tie point and to control the output.
Module output breakers (MOBs) allow the output of a UPS to be
disconnected from other UPSs and the system load for maintenance and
service. Design considerations assume that each UPS has a module
output breaker (MOB). The breaker should also disconnect the neutral
for improved safety during maintenance.
The MOB must have at least one normally open (N.O.) and one normally
closed (N.C.) contact. These contacts must not share a common
terminal. The N.C. contact is connected to the corresponding UPS’s
input used for signal input. The N.O. contact is used to disconnect the
bypass pull-chain when the MOB is open. Figure 24 and Figure 25 show
the principles of paralleled UPS systems including MOBs and outputs
from UPSs.
3.2.3 Monitoring and communication
Optional MiniSlot cards support several alternative communication
interfaces, such as WEB/SNMP, RELAY / RS-232 and Modbus. For more
information on the monitoring and communication features, see Chapter
Eaton 93E UPS 15-80 kVA (380/400/415 V) Installation and Operation Manual
3.2.4 Single feed
The Eaton 93E 15-80 kVA standard models come with dual feed,
requiring a separate feed for both rectifier and bypass input. Single feed
kits are provided with each unit for on-site installation.
3.3 Battery system
Depending on the UPS model, the battery system may be internal or
external. The battery system provides emergency short-term backup
power to safeguard the operation during brownouts, blackouts, and
other commercial power anomalies. The battery system is equipped
with lead-acid batteries.
3.4 Basic system configurations
The following basic UPS system configurations are possible (depending
on the model):
• UPS (internal battery).
• UPS with an external battery.
• UPS with external batteries and accessory cabinets
Up to 4 UPS's can be added in parallel for capacity or redundancy. The
UPS system configuration can be enhanced by adding optional
accessories, such as a remote Emergency Power-off (EPO) control or
MiniSlot communication cards.
