DC Expert PlusBuilt-in Battery Monitoring

Real-world business applications require a complete range of battery management and testing features, including battery runtime remaining, lifetime remaining, battery health, and notification, to help make critical decisions, from scheduling preventive maintenance to load shedding. Advances in firmware, digital technology and battery monitoring techniques enable the Powerware P93 to offer sophisticated battery management features, previously available only in expensive add-on systems. By ensuring optimal battery health and availability, DC Expert Plus raises the reliability of the Powerware P93 far beyond any other UPS in this kVA range.

DC Expert Plus advanced features include:

APowerware Battery Lifetime Monitor uses measures of chronological time, number of battery discharges, battery temperature, and system loading to determine battery lifetime remaining.

ABattery Runtime Remaining Monitor uses system loading plus internal sensing points for voltage and current data to calculate runtime remaining.

AAdvanced Battery Management (ABM®) uses patented three-stage charging technique that not only increases battery service life, but also optimizes recharge time.

ABattery Circuit Test (BCT) performs a periodic test of the battery string to ensure that there are no open circuits that would jeopardize battery performance and system availability.

ATemperature Compensated Charging (TCC) monitors the battery temperature and through sophisticated algorithms adjusts the rate of charge, compensating for the ambient temperature to prolong the life of the battery.

AIntelligent Battery Protection (IBP) automatically adjusts the shutdown voltage of the batteries based on the length of the AC outage. This prevents severe battery discharge if the system is lightly loaded.

Intelligent Communications

The intelligent communications capability of the Powerware P93 family of UPS means improved reliability, easier network power management and expanded network communications. With both hardware and software communications options, Powerware provides the right communications solution for your specific situation.

LanSafe

LanSafe version 5 delivers comprehensive support including graceful, remote shutdown of UPS systems and network monitoring tools via serial, USB, and network connectivity options. LanSafe's exclusive SafetyNet Technology provides Network Shutdown functionality and enables network administrators to shut down the most critical equipment last.

Powerware Extensions for IBM Director

Powerware Extensions for IBM Director provide seamless integration of Powerware UPSs into the Director management system. The Extensions for IBM Director simplify network management tasks for critical elements of server power protection. System administrators can easily monitor, diagnose, configure, set alarms, schedule self-tests, check battery, gather inventory information, and control Powerware UPSs network wide from a single console within IBM Director.

PowerVision®

PowerVision power management software can monitor up to 64 network devices, provide data archiving and analysis to pre- vent power problems, and offers sophisticated notification, plus Modbus® connectivity. Through its easy-to-use graphical user interface, PowerVision provides critical information about the power, network-wide, in real time.

FORESEER®

FORESEER environmental monitoring software puts an end to worries about risks to your critical foundation equipment and systems. From air conditioners to water cooling systems, generators to UPS, FORESEER gives you up-to-the-minute information about any system or device that is fundamental to your system availability. Plus, with its unique data archiving capabilities, FORESEER can identify potential problems before they occur,

and notify you so you can implement a solution before a crisis.

ConnectUPS Adapters

Powerware’s ConnectUPS-X and communications adapters provide a self-contained link between the UPS and the Ethernet LAN/WAN. Using HTTP, Telnet or SNMP, you can easily monitor, manage, and shut down or reboot remote UPS-protected servers, routers, hubs and other key network devices in a controlled manner. These adapters are also compatible with many third-party network management software packages.

P93 specifications

The Powerware P93 is a reliable and efficient uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to provide critical backup power and ensure the protection of sensitive electronic equipment. It is particularly suitable for medium to large-scale applications such as data centers, telecommunications systems, and industrial operations. Powerware, a part of Eaton Corporation, has built a solid reputation for producing high-quality power solutions, and the P93 series exemplifies this commitment to excellence.

One of the main features of the Powerware P93 is its modular design, which allows for easy scalability and customization based on the specific power requirements of the user. This modularity means that businesses can start with a smaller unit and expand their UPS capacity as their power needs grow, thereby optimizing their initial investment.

The P93 series employs advanced double-conversion technology, providing a clean and stable output power with minimal distortion. This is crucial for protecting sensitive electronic equipment from power anomalies such as surges, sags, and outages. The UPS features a high input power factor, which not only contributes to energy efficiency but also minimizes the need for oversizing the generator capacity in backup power scenarios.

Another standout characteristic of the Powerware P93 is its energy-saving capabilities. Equipped with intelligent battery management systems, the UPS optimizes battery usage and extends their life cycle through controlled charging and discharging. Additionally, the unit supports eco-mode operation, further enhancing energy efficiency while reducing operating costs.
