The Eaton® 93PM Integrated Battery Cabinet-Large (IBC-L) and Integrated Battery Cabinet-Large High Rate
(IBC-LH) provide extended emergency short-time backup power for 93PM UPS systems to enhance the
usability and reliability of the systems. The IBC-L and IBC-LH safeguard operation during brownouts, blackouts,
and other power interruptions providing cost-effective extended battery run time. In addition, the IBC-LH
provides a single battery cabinet solution for 93PM UPS systems 200 kW and below. 93PM 400 kW UPS
systems above 200 kW require at least two battery cabinets.
The IBC-L and IBC-LH are housed in a single free-standing cabinet with safety shields behind the doors for
hazardous voltage protection. UPS systems 200 kW and below can utilize up to four IBC-Ls per UPS or two
IBC-LHs per UPS to meet application runtime needs. 400 kW UPS systems can utilize up to eight IBC-Ls per
UPS or four IBC-LHs per UPS to meet application runtime needs. The cabinets match the UPS cabinet in style
and color.
The IBCs are equipped with valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. Removable battery trays with quick
disconnects between trays reduce battery maintenance time. A DC-rated circuit breaker within each cabinet
provides protection and servicing isolation. The IBC-LH is available with battery voltage of 432 or 480 Vdc.
Figure 1 shows the IBC-L or IBC-LH, and Figure 2 shows the IBC-L or IBC-LH with a left or right mounted
sidecar.
