Eaton Corporation (ETN) has introduced a new
line-interactive UPS, the Eaton 5PX. The newly manufactured 5PX
provides exceptional manageability, efficiency and energy metering
capabilities for IT managers.
Eaton said the 5PX has a unique feature of metering energy
consumption of every device protected by the UPS, a practice used
for the first time in the UPS industry. The UPS’ large, intuitive
LCD display also allows IT managers to easily monitor energy usage
of the various pieces of equipment protected. This helps in
maximizing server room functioning and efficiency, consequently
reducing energy costs. These features provide the Eaton 5PX an edge
over similar products from its competitors.
Additionally, the 5PX features an industry-leading power factor
of 0.9, which enables it to protect more devices than competing
products. A successor to the proven Eaton Evolution® S, the Eaton
5PX is a next-generation UPS with a power range of 1.5–3 kVA
(thousand volt amperes) and continues to offer high-density
protection to IT devices such as servers, switchers, routers and
storage devices.
Battery life is a major contributor to the performance of any
UPS. Compared to Evolution S, Eaton has improved on the
reliability of 5PX by applying its ABM technology. The ABM is a
battery-charging method that allows batteries to rest between
charging cycles. This extends battery life considerablyand saves
maintenance costs owing to prolonged service and replacement
cycle.
The 5PX promises up to 99% efficiency. Moreover, all 5PX
products employ an RT format, implying they can be installed in
both the rack and tower positions. The 5PX is now available in all
Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) countries.
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Eaton Corporation deals in electrical
components and systems for retaining power quality, distribution
and control; hydraulics components, systems and services for
industrial and mobile equipment; aerospace fuel, hydraulics and
pneumatic systems for commercial and military use; and truck and
automotive drivetrain and powertrain systems for performance, fuel
economy and safety.

Buy rating). The company fares better than its peers ITT
Corporation (ITT) and Johnson Controls
Inc. (JCI), both of which carry the short-term Zacks #3
Rank (Hold). We maintain our long-term Outperform rating on the
