, sold under the MGE Office Protection Systems brand name, accommodates Eaton’s Pulsar MX 5000 RT hot-swappable power and battery modules.The UPS, available in 10U configuration, gives users a low-cost solution to scalable power protection, Eaton says.Accommodating Eaton’s Pulsar MX 5000 RT hot-swappable power and battery modules, the new Pulsar MX Frame gives users a low-entry cost to scalable power in one easy-to-populate modular system.As with Eaton’s larger 20 kVA 16U (28-inch) frame, the same power and battery sub-modules can be used for the stand-alone Pulsar MX RT 5 kVA uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and the modular chassis, which significantly reduces the entry cost to scalability.
