EATON 5P line-interactive UPS (650–1550 VA)

Where the 5P sits
The 5P is the smaller sibling of the 5PX: same line-interactive architecture and pure sine wave output, in a more compact body and without the expandable battery module. For a single workstation, a wall-mounted network cabinet or a POS counter, it is usually the right size — and the 1U rack models fit a shallow cabinet that a 2U unit will not.
Two details worth checking before ordering
- Outlet type. IEC C13 outlets on most models — confirm your equipment leads, or plan the adapters at order time.
- Rack depth. The 1U models are shallower than most; measure the cabinet before assuming any 1U unit fits.
Sizing is free before quotation — send us the load list and we will confirm the right capacity.
Key features
- Line-interactive high-frequency architecture with pure sine wave output (Booster + Fader)
- Up to 98% efficiency, Energy Star qualified
- Tower or 1U rack (selected models); the 1U chassis is notably shallow
- ABM three-stage charging with temperature compensation extends battery life by around 50%
- Automatic battery testing and deep-discharge protection
- USB + RS232 as standard; accepts a Network-M2 management card
- Selectable output 200/208/220/230/240 V, 50/60 Hz auto-sensing

Entry-level backup: it will carry a PC through a trip or a short outage at a sensible price. The trick is knowing what it does not do — that is how you avoid buying the wrong tier.
View detailsWhat size UPS do I need? Sizing capacity and runtime
My equipment adds up to 2000 W, so is a 2000 VA UPS enough? That calculation almost always ends in the wrong purchase. What is missing is not addition — it is three correction factors.
