Eaton's Powerware power management solutions are based on protecting the nine most common
power problems present in any environment. This unique approach makes your product selection
decisions about power protection much simpler. The nine power problems listed below are potentially
harmful to both your data and your hardware. Powerware products offer three levels of power protec-
tion: Series 3, Series 5, and Series 9. Based on the parameters defined by your application, you can
select an uninterruptible power system (UPS) from the series that best matches your power protection
needs. To provide maximum power protection, Eaton offers a full line of Powerware Series 9 UPSs
with both single-phase and three-phase models in the Series 9 family.

The Powerware Series 3 UPS primarily protects against three of the nine power problems including
power failures, power sags and power surges. This essential, cost-effective protection is necessary
in order to prevent damage such as data loss, file corruption, flickering lights, hardware damage,
and equipment shutoff. For example, if your utility fails you could lose all of your work-in-progress.
The Series 3 UPS offers a degree of protection against the remaining power problems and is most
commonly used to protect single workstations and point-of-sale (POS) equipment.
Powerware Series 5 UPSs are most effective against five power problems (power failures, power
sags, power surges, under-voltage and over-voltage) and offer a degree of protection against other
power problems. Some of the damages you risk by not using a Series 5 UPS include premature
hardware failure, data loss and corruption, data error, keyboard lockup, storage loss, and system
lockup. Series 5 UPSs are recommended for small network systems—all the way up to enterprise
networking environments.
Powerware Series 9 UPSs protect against all nine power problems: power failures, power sags,
power surges, under-voltage, electrical line noise, over-voltage, frequency variation, switching
transients, and harmonic distortion. Powerware Series 9 comprehensive protection minimizes the
opportunity for component stress, burned circuit boards, data crashes and program failures. Series
9 UPSs offer the highest level of power protection available and are always recommended for mis-
sion-critical applications like server farms, hospitals, and VOIP applications.
