Eaton 9PXM8S8K-PD UPS 8 kVA scalable to 16 kVA 208-240V 14U

Scalable 8 kVA UPS for growing loads

The Eaton 9PXM8S8K-PD is a battery backup unit rated at 8 kVA and scalable to 16 kVA for expanding power needs. It accepts a 208 V AC to 240 V AC hardwired input and delivers output through four NEMA 5-20R and two NEMA L6-30R outlets. The rack-tower chassis occupies 14U of rack space. Buyers who need a smaller fixed-capacity unit or a different outlet mix should look elsewhere.

Hardwired input and mixed NEMA outlets

A hardwired connection requires professional installation and a dedicated circuit, which suits permanent server-room deployments. The four 5-20R receptacles support standard 20 A equipment while the two L6-30R twist-lock outlets handle higher-draw 30 A loads. The 333 lb weight and 34.5 in depth demand a sturdy rack or floor area with adequate access. Installers without hardwiring experience or racks shorter than 14U cannot use this model as intended.

25 in height and compliance certifications

The unit stands 25 in tall, 17.5 in wide and weighs 333 lb, so airflow planning must account for its physical footprint. It carries TAA, ICES-003 and FCC compliance marks for regulated environments. First listed by the manufacturer in 2018, the design targets continuous operation in data-centre conditions. Sites lacking structured cooling or requiring a lighter, wall-mountable form factor will need a different solution.
