The Eaton 9390 UPS is a continuous-duty, solid–state, transformerless (at 208, 400, and 480 Vac), three-phase,
true online system that provides conditioned and uninterruptible AC power to the UPS system's output. The
UPS supports process control, data processing, telecommunications/PBX, research, and non-patient medical
equipment. The Eaton 9390 UPS maintains power to the critical loads during commercial electrical power
brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and out–of–tolerance frequency conditions.
The basic system consists of a rectifier, battery converter, inverter, monitoring/ operation control panel,
integrated communication server, and digital signal processor (DSP) logic.
In this manual, the power required by your equipment is called the critical load. The UPS supplies the critical
load with conditioned power that is synchronized with your utility power. Figure 9 shows the main elements of
the UPS system.

If utility power is interrupted or falls outside the parameters specified in Chapter 14 Product Specifications, the
UPS uses a backup battery supply to maintain power to the critical load for a specified period of time or until the
utility power returns. For extended power outages, the UPS allows you to either transfer to an alternative
power system (such as a generator) or shut down your critical load in an orderly manner.
