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:

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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.
