Powerware P93 (9330-20) UPS
Designed specifically to meet the high-availability
needs of critical 24x7 applications for small to
medium-size business, the Powerware P93 delivers
enhanced system reliability and the highest
efficiency ratings of any online UPS in the 20 kVA
range. The P93 also contains high-end features and
benefits that only existed in larger capacity UPS,
until now.
The advanced features of the Powerware P93
include:
Digital signal processing and pulse-width
modulation
True pulse-width modulation is achieved through
the use of digital signal processing, which enables
the IGBTs to works at their highest capacity,
increasing system reliability and ensuring perfect
power on the output.
Built-in control area network (CAN)
An integral internal and external Control Area
Network (CAN) is incorporated into the Powerware
P93 that assists in seamlessly integrating peripherals
and options, controllable from the control panel.
It also reduces the internal wiring connections
required therefore increasing overall system reliability.
Superior cooling design
The superior cooling design of the Powerware P93
draws from Powerware’s extensive, almost 40 years
of industry and product development experience.
This design, which features redundant fans, ensures
that more thermally sensitive areas are cooled first.
Comprehensive communications and user
interface
A large display, mimic and control panel is
ergonomically situated for operator interface with
the unit. The soft keypad helps guide the operator
through all menus and setups. A dedicated
micro-processor had been designed and engineered
to provide full-featured monitoring and extensive
alarm history. It allows for additional communica-
tion options like Internet accessibility, Ethernet,
network links, and modems.
Internal battery
The Powerware P93 comes with internal batteries
that provide up to 17 minutes of backup at full
load. The batteries are easily accessible and main-
tained through front access slide-out trays. DC
Expert Plus™ internal battery management system
significantly enhances battery life.
