The Eaton®93PM-L 60 kW, Four-Wire uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a true online, continuous-duty,
transformerless, double-conversion, solid-state, three-phase system, providing conditioned and uninterruptible
AC power to protect the customer's load from power failures.
The Eaton 93PM-L UPS online power protection system is used to prevent loss of valuable electronic
information, minimize equipment downtime, and minimize the adverse effect on production equipment due to
unexpected power problems.
The Eaton 93PM-L 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 interruptions, batteries provide emergency
power to safeguard operation.
The Eaton 93PM-L UPS is available with up to three Uninterruptible Power Modules (UPMs) integrated in one
cabinet. Each UPM is rated for a maximum of 20 kW. The system maximum rating is 60 kW. To deliver greater
reliability, a UPS with two or more UPMs can provide N+1 redundancy up to a maximum of 40 kW. Should one
UPM become unavailable or require servicing, the remaining UPMs supply the load instead of transferring to
bypass.
The UPS is housed in a single free-standing cabinet, with safety shields behind the door for hazardous voltage
protection. Power wiring is installed through the bottom of the cabinet with an optional sidecar available for top
entry wiring. Figure 1 shows the Eaton 93PM-L UPS, Figure 2 shows the Eaton 93PM-L UPS with a left or rightmounted Top Entry Wiring Sidecar, and Figure 3 shows the Eaton 93PM-L UPS with a left or right-mounted
Bypass Sidecar (SIAC-B).

•Building Alarm Monitoring – Up to five 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 building alarms in addition to the UPS status.
•Alarm Contact – One alarm contact is provided for connection to equipment at the facility, such as a light,
an audible alarm, or a computer terminal. The equipment connected to this contact alerts you to a UPS
alarm.
•Minislot Communication Bays – Four communication bays are standard equipment. One to four optional
Minislot
®
connectivity cards can be installed in the UPS at any time. Minislot cards are quickly installed at
the front of the UPS and are hot-pluggable.
For additional information on these topics, see Chapter 7 Communication.
The 93PM-L Series UPS offers an Energy Saver System (ESS) mode that maximizes efficiency by eliminating
unnecessary power conversion when the commercial power source is within acceptable voltage and frequency
limits. In this mode, the UPS is actively monitoring the critical bus and instantly and seamlessly transitions to
double-conversion mode (inverter online) if a commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage,
undervoltage, or out-of-tolerance frequency condition occurs. See Chapter 6 UPS Operating Instructions, for
additional information.
To deliver greater reliability, the Eaton 93PM-L UPS can be configured for internal redundancy. When
configured, the UPS automatically becomes redundant if the load is at or below the capacity of the UPMs
minus the capacity of one UPM. Under normal conditions the UPMs in the UPS share the load equally. If one or
more UPMs becomes unavailable and the load is at or below the capacity of remaining UPMs, the remaining
UPMs supply the load instead of transferring to bypass.
Advanced Battery Management (ABM) technology uses sophisticated sensing circuitry and a three-stage
charger. The charger is a high-frequency, IGBT-based power conversion stage that extends the useful service
life of UPS batteries by isolating the battery from the electrical environment, except for periodic charging or
reserve mode operation. ABM also protects batteries from damage due to high current charging and inverter
ripple currents. Charging at high currents can overheat and damage batteries.
ABM extends battery life by keeping the batteries charged and performing periodic battery testing. The battery
test checks the batteries by transferring to battery mode. During the test the battery voltage is constantly
monitored to determine Battery Health. ABM is intended for VRLA style batteries.
An ABM charging cycle starts with the charger driving the battery voltage at maximum current limit, to a
battery charge level of 2.30volts/cell. The time it takes for the voltage to reach the battery charge level is saved
as the battery charge time. If the battery charge time exceeds 24 hours, an alarm sounds.
When the battery reaches the float level, the battery is charged at the float level for 48 hours. Due to charger
capability, some battery cabinet configurations extend float level to 72 hours. Twenty-four hours into the float
period, a series of battery tests are performed to check the battery health. The float level charge continues
after a successful test.
After initial startup, the battery run time on the front panel display indicates two minutes. After the 24-hour float
charging period and automated battery testing, the actual battery run time is determined and the actual battery
run time is displayed.
After the float period is completed, the charger is disconnected and the batteries are allowed to rest for up to
672 hours (28 days) maximum rest time. If the battery voltage falls below the opportunity charge level of 2.1V/
cell during the first 240 hours (10 days) of the rest period, an alarm sounds.
An ABM charge cycle is initiated whenever one of these four conditions occurs since the last charge cycle:
•The batteries have rested over the maximum rest time of 672 hours.
•Accumulated discharge time is over a maximum battery discharge time of 20 seconds.
•Battery voltage is under the opportunity charge level of 2.1 volts/cell and the cabinet has been in rest mode
for longer than 240 hours.
Battery backup protection with additional runtime can be provided by equipping the UPS system with up to four
Integrated Battery Cabinets (IBCs) containing sealed lead-acid, maintenance-free batteries. The IBCs are
housed in single, free-standing cabinets designed for line-up-and-match installation, but may be installed
separate from the UPS cabinet. An external battery disconnect switch or tie point must be used when three or
four IBCs are located separate from the UPS cabinet. The IBCs may be installed on either the right or left side
of the UPS cabinet. The recommended installation location for adjacent battery cabinets is on the right side of
the UPS cabinet.
A Sidecar Integrated Accessory Cabinet-Bypass (SIAC-B) provides maintenance bypass functions. The SIAC-B
is available in two, three, or four breaker configurations enabling power to completely bypass the UPS. The
UPS can then be safely serviced or replaced without interrupting power to critical systems. Our manufacturing
facility installs the SIAC-B on either the right or left side of the UPS cabinet based on the order requirements.
The SIAC-B can also be used for top entry wiring access.
If required, a sidecar is available for top entry power wiring. The sidecar performs the function of a wireway
routing the wires to the terminals mounted at the bottom of the UPS cabinet. The sidecar can be installed on
the left or right side of the UPS cabinet.
The Integrated Accessory Cabinet-Power Distribution (IAC-PD) provides power distribution options for servers,
racks, and other equipment via distribution panelboards, or distributes power to larger loads via distribution
subfeed circuit breakers. The distribution options are customer configurable, enabling adaptation and expansion
without costly electrical rework. The IAC-PD may be installed in a line-and-match or standalone configuration.
The IAC-PD may be installed on either the right or left side of the UPS cabinet.
11..22..55 PPaarraalllleell SSyysstteemm
NOTEAll UPSs in a parallel system must have the same battery configuration. Each UPS
requires a separate battery cabinet.
A parallel UPS system with multiple UPSs with a maximum combined wattage of 400 kW 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 built-in Controller Area Network (CAN) provides connectivity for
system metering and operational mode control. The parallel system consists of two to four UPSs, and a Wall
Mounted Panelboard acting as a tie point and to control the output.
Minislot Cards – Optional Minislot cards support several protocols, such as SNMP, SMTP, HTTP, Modbus®,
and TCP/IP. See Chapter 7 Communication, for additional information on monitoring and communication
features.
Remote Monitoring Device (RMD) – An optional RMD contains a touch screen status display and a local
audible alarm, allowing monitoring of the operational status and alarm condition of the UPS from virtually any
location within the facility, up to 300 feet from the UPS.
Refer to the Eaton Remote Monitoring Device (RMD) Installation and Operation Manual, listed in
paragraph 1.8 For More Information, for additional information.
PredictPulse™ Remote Monitoring and Management Service – PredictPulse is a subscription monitoring
and management service from Eaton that collects and analyzes data from connected power infrastructure
devices, providing us with the insight needed to make recommendations and take action on your behalf. It’s
also powered by CA Technologies, bringing together the best in hardware and software. Like a second set of
eyes on your power infrastructure, PredictPulse provides 24/7 remote monitoring of alarms and system

risk and expedite repairs. PredictPulse also shares real-time status and trend information via an online
dashboard and smartphone mobile app (Apple and Android), giving subscribers insights about past and current
performance, a list of all active alarms, and asset management data (i.e., battery date codes, last and next
scheduled service dates, firmware versions). The service notifies customers of critical alarms, supports remote
diagnostics, and facilitates smart dispatch of technicians. PredictPulse requires a Power Xpert
Minislot (PXGMS) connectivity card in an Minislot communication bay and an Environmental Monitoring Probe
(EMP) for battery temperature/humidity monitoring. See Chapter 7 Communication, for additional information.
The Eaton 93PM-L UPS complies with ANSI 62.41 for line surges. However, if added security is required an
additional Surge Protection Device (SPD) can be installed. For this application, a 208V Delta Style SPD Type 1 or
Type 2 installed on the load side is recommended. The SPD must meet the Maximum Continuous Operating
Voltage (MCOV) for a 208V Delta Style SPD. Eaton offers a variety of SPD solutions including the Eaton SPD
Series with various kA ratings options.

The battery system provides emergency short-term backup power to safeguard operation during brownouts,
blackouts, and other power interruptions.
The 93PM-L (60 kW) UPS battery system can be internal to the UPS cabinet, an external Integrated Battery
Cabinet/s (IBC), or a combination of both. The external IBCs are connected in parallel with the internal batteries
to provide extended run time. The battery system is equipped with sealed lead-acid, maintenance-free
batteries.
An external battery disconnect switch or tie point must be used when battery systems are located separate
from the UPS cabinet and wiring exceeds the number of battery terminals available.
A supplemental 48 Vdc shunt trip signal for the battery disconnect device is provided by the UPS, but is not
required for normal operation.
Thermal runaway protection for VRLA batteries can be provided by adding an optional thermal sensor to the
internal battery section or external battery cabinet.
The sensor is wired to the thermal sensor terminal and programmed to turn the charger off when a trip signal is
received.
The thermal sensor will maintain the trip state until it is reset by service. Service should be called to inspect the
batteries and reset the sensor in case of such an event.
The following basic UPS system configurations are possible:
•Single UPS (20–60 kW) with one to four external battery cabinets
•Single UPS (20–60 kW) with one to four external battery cabinets and accessory cabinets
•Multiple UPSs (20–60 kW to a maximum combined rating of 400 kW) with one to four standard external
battery cabinets for each UPS
•Multiple UPSs (20–60 kW to a maximum combined rating of 400 kW) with one to four standard external

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the
UPS and batteries. Read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future
reference.
The UPS is designed for industrial or computer room applications, and contains safety shields behind the door
and front panels. However, the UPS is a sophisticated power system and should be handled with appropriate
care.
This UPS contains LETHAL VOLTAGES. All repairs and service should be performed by AUTHORIZED SERVICE
PERSONNEL ONLY. There are NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the UPS.
•The UPS is powered by its own energy source (batteries). The output terminals may carry live voltage even
when the UPS is disconnected from an AC source.
•To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and humidity controlled, indoor
environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Do
not operate near water or excessive humidity (95% maximum). The system is not intended for outdoor
use.
•As a result of the connected loads high leakage current is possible. Connection to earth ground is required
for safety and proper product operation. Do not check UPS operation by any action that includes removal of
the earth (ground) connection with loads attached.
•Emergency Power Off (EPO) and Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) functionality is disabled for UPS
systems configured for UL 924 auxiliary lighting. To remove power from the system a LOAD OFF
command must be given using the front panel controls and all breakers opened. Review Chapter 6 UPSOperating Instructions, for details.
•Ensure all power is disconnected before performing installation or service.
•Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit current. The following
precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects; 2) Use tools with
insulated handles; 3) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries; 4) Wear voltage rated gloves and
electrical hazard footwear.
•ELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. Do not attempt to alter any UPS or battery wiring or connectors. Attempting
to alter wiring can cause injury.

equipment.
AVERTISSEMENT!
•Les batteries peuvent présenter un risque de décharge électrique ou de brûlure par des courts–circuits de
haute intensité. Prendre les précautions nécessaires.
•Pour le replacement, utiliser le même nombre et modéle des batteries.
ATTENTION!
•Une mise au rebut réglementaire des batteries est obligatoire. Consulter les règlements en vigueur dans
votre localité.
•Ne jamais jeter les batteries au feu. L'exposition aux flammes risque de les faire exploser.
•Les accumulateurs au plomb-acide peuvent représenter un risque d’incendie, car ils génèrent de
l’hydrogène gazeux. Ne pas fumer près des accumulateurs. Ne pas produire de flamme ou d’étincelle dans
la zone de l’accumulateur. Dissiper l'électricité statique de votre corps en touchant une surface reliée à la
terre avant de toucher les accumulateurs.
Use the following basic sequence of steps to install the UPS:
1. Create an installation plan for the UPS system.
2. Prepare your site for the UPS system.
3. Inspect and unpack the UPS cabinet.
4. Unload and install the UPS cabinet, and wire the system.
5. Complete the Installation Checklist.
6. Have authorized service personnel perform preliminary operational checks and start up the system.
NOTEStartup and operational checks must be performed by an authorized Eaton Customer
Service Engineer, or the warranty terms specified on the product's resources page
become void. See Chapter 10 Warranty for details. This service is offered as part of the
sales contract for the UPS. Contact an Eaton service representative in advance (a
minimum two-week notice is required) to reserve a preferred startup date.

For the UPS system to operate at peak efficiency, the installation site should meet the environmental
parameters outlined in this manual. The operating environment must meet the weight, clearance, and
environmental requirements specified.
The UPS system installation must meet the following guidelines:
•The system must be installed on a level floor suitable for computer or electronic equipment.
•The system must be operated at an altitude no higher than 1500m (5000 ft) without derating. For additional
assistance with high altitude operation, contact an Eaton service representative (see paragraph
1.9 Getting Help).
•The system must be installed in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants.
CAUTION
Do not expose the UPS to overly aggressive environments, like salt mist or corrosive gases. High relative
humidity accelerates the effects of contaminants. The UPS should be installed in a G1 environment (based on
ANSI/ISA S-71.04 classifications). If the UPS is used in a more aggressive environment, it can cause reduced
product life and possibly early failure. If the installation location does not meet the recommended environment,
contact Eaton service representative for further information (see paragraph 1.9 Getting Help).
•The environmental requirements specified below are for the air at the intake ports of the 93PM UPS, and
are the maximum, not to exceed, ratings.
–There shall be at least a 1.8°F (1.0°C) difference between the dry bulb temperature and the wet bulb
temperature, at all times, to maintain a non-condensing environment.
–The maximum rate of temperature change shall be limited to 3°F over 5 minutes (36°F/hour), based on
the ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2013.
•The newer, more energy efficient data center cooling methods (such as air side economization) can create
much wider ranges of temperature and Relative Humidity (RH) in the UPS room and/or data center. There
are two aspects of this increased operating environment that can, if ignored, create issues.
–One is the creation of microclimates, which are persistent variations of temperature and/or RH within
a single room. For example one side of the room is always cooler than the other side, no matter the
actual temperature.
–The other aspect is the rate of change of temperature and/or RH, which can occur during transitions
within the cooling system. Examples: changing the mixture ratio of inside versus outside air, or
external changes in the outside air when going from night to day, and back to night.
–When ignored, either one of these aspects can create an undesirable microclimate at the UPS
location. If the environment created by this microclimate exceeds the UPS operating specification, the
UPS reliability, over time, will be reduced. These same environmental extremes will also create
reliability concerns for any servers that are exposed to them.
Failure to follow guidelines may void your warranty.
The basic environmental requirements for operation of the UPS are:
•Ambient Temperature Range: 5–40°C (41–104°F)
•Recommended Operating Range: 5–40°C (41–104°F)
•Maximum Relative Humidity: 5–95%, noncondensing
CAUTION
If battery systems are located in the same room as the UPS, the battery manufacturer's environmental
requirements should be followed if they are more stringent than the UPS requirements. Operating
temperatures above the recommended range will result in decreased battery life and performance, and may
reduce or void the battery warranty.
The UPS ventilation requirements are shown in Table 1. To allow for future power upgrades, Eaton
recommends using air conditioning or ventilation sized for the fully rated UPS kW frame size installed instead of
the derated kW ordered. Sizing the site cooling infrastructure to be capable of cooling the maximum kW frame
size will allow a full power rating upgrade without having to modify the infrastructure.
The UPS cabinet uses forced air cooling to regulate internal component temperature. Air inlets are in the front
of the cabinet and outlets are on top or in the back of the cabinet. Allow clearance in front of and on top or in
back of the cabinet for proper air circulation. The clearances required around the UPS cabinet are shown in the
following table.
