EATON UPS 5E 900 USB IEC Gen2

The Eaton UPS 5E 900 is a reliable solution for protecting electronics in homes and small offices. This uninterruptible power supply operates with an apparent power of 900VA and a real power of 480W, with 95% efficiency at full load. Thanks to its automatic voltage regulation (AVR), it actively corrects fluctuations in the mains supply, thereby extending the battery life for a complete power outage. The 900VA UPS has a compact tower design, which makes it easy to place on the floor or a desk. For management and monitoring, it uses an integrated USB interface and included software, which provide an overview of the power status and unit operation.

Topology and performance

The Eaton UPS 5E 900 uses line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR). This technology corrects undervoltage and overvoltage within the 140–300V input range without needing to switch to battery power. This way, the automatic voltage regulation saves battery life for a complete power outage. The unit's apparent power is 900VA and its real power is 480W. An efficiency of 95% at full load contributes to lower running costs.

Battery and power supply protection

The cold start function starts the UPS even without mains power, for situations where short-term power is needed away from a socket. The battery charges continuously, even if the unit is switched off, so it is always ready for use. The power supply includes protection against deep battery discharge and also surge protection for all connected devices. The fanless design in models up to 1200VA ensures completely silent operation, making this USB UPS suitable for placing directly on a desk without any distracting noise.

Connectivity and sockets

A USB communication interface connects the UPS to a computer, functioning as a HID device for automatic integration with common operating systems. For advanced management, use the Eaton UPS Companion software. It displays the unit's status, load level, and estimated backup time. In the event of a prolonged outage, the software performs a safe system shutdown and saves any work in progress. This automation protects your data from loss and your operating system from damage. The tower UPS is equipped with four output sockets for connecting appliances. All four IEC C13 standard sockets provide both battery backup and surge protection, so there are no separate sockets with only surge protection. An IEC C14 connector provides the mains power input.
