Although Eskom has sustained a stable power supply nationally through more than 100 consecutive days without loadshedding, the implementation of load reduction by the national and municipal utilities still raises an operational barrier to many businesses. Consequently, demand for backup power continues to grow, to keep critical IT appliances running in the event of an outage.
Eaton has launched the new 5P Gen 2 UPS to protect critical IT appliances against power outages.
Power management company Eaton has recently launched the Eaton 5P Gen 2 UPS, a compact and efficient power solution for edge and informational technology (IT) needs. Reportedly, delivering more output, security and control than any other devices in this class, the new product range also enables fleet management, remote UPS setting and remote firmware upgrades.
The 5P Gen 2 has enhanced power capability and provides up to 1 350 W, which is 22% more than its predecessor and 33% more than comparable models available on the market, making it suitable for protecting a wide range of applications. Intelligent design ensures its stable performance and energy savings, and advanced load segment control prioritises critical equipment and optimises battery runtime.
This UPS model features the Eaton ABM+ Advanced Battery Management technology, which extends battery life by up to 50% and allows for accurate battery life prediction and timely replacement alerts powered by machine learning. Additionally, it is supplied with hot-swappable batteries and an intuitive battery replacement wizard accessed via a built-in graphic LCD (liquid crystal display).
Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager (IPM2) and Distributed IT Performance Management (DITPM) software enable remote monitoring and management of IT infrastructure, even in hard-to-reach locations, including secure device configuration and firmware updates.
According to Jessica Masina, Field Product Marketing Manager at Eaton Africa, “The new Eaton 5P Gen 2 UPS offers superior output, security, and control compared to other devices in its category.” The Eaton 5P Gen 2 UPS, together with the cybersecure Gigabit Network Card (included in the Netpack versions), meets strict cybersecurity standards. Moreover, Eaton’s Brightlayer Software Suite is available for seamless integration with virtualisation environments, ensuring continuous service and data integrity.
Customers can opt for the compact 1U rack or the tower option, the Eaton 5P Gen 2 UPS fits all space requirements, so it is compatible with a variety of setups.
