Cabinet-Large High Rate (IBC-LHW) provide extended emergency short-time backup power for the Eaton
93PM Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to enhance the usability and reliability of the systems. The
IBC-LW and IBC-LHW safeguard operation during brownouts, blackouts, and other power interruptions
providing cost-effective extended battery run time. In addition, the IBC-LHW provides a single battery cabinet
solution for Eaton 93PM and 93PM-L UPS systems 200 kW and below. Eaton 93PM 400 kW UPS systems
above 200 kW require at least two battery cabinets.
The IBC-LW and IBC-LHW are housed in a single free-standing cabinet with a safety shield behind the front
door for hazardous voltage protection. UPS systems 200 kW and below can utilize up to four IBC-LWs per UPS
or two IBC-LHWs per UPS to meet application runtime needs. 400 kW UPS systems can utilize up to eight IBCLWs per UPS or four IBC-LHWs 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-LHW is available with battery voltage of 432 or 480 Vdc.
