Eaton 93E UPS Discontinued: Transitioning to the Eaton 93PM

In January 2025, Eaton officially announced the end of life (EOL) for the Eaton 93E UPS, a system that has been widely trusted in data centers, healthcare facilities, and critical infrastructure for reliable three-phase power protection. While the 93E has served customers well for over a decade, it is now being phased out and replaced with Eaton’s more advanced 93PM UPS.

This transition reflects Eaton’s commitment to higher efficiency, modular scalability, and improved total cost of ownership.

Why the Eaton 93E Is Being Retired

The 93E UPS was designed as a straightforward, cost-effective solution for organizations that needed dependable protection for IT and facility loads. Its strengths included:

• Simplified deployment and operation

• Strong reliability track record

• Compatibility across a wide range of applications

  
  

However, technology and energy efficiency standards have advanced rapidly. With sustainability and uptime demands growing, Eaton determined that the 93E no longer aligned with the future of high-efficiency power systems. Support and service contracts for the 93E will continue for a limited period, but new sales have been discontinued.

Introducing the Eaton 93PM UPS

The Eaton 93PM UPS is the direct replacement for the 93E, offering a significant upgrade in performance, flexibility, and efficiency. Designed for modern data centers and mission-critical facilities, the 93PM brings several key advantages:

1. Higher Energy Efficiency

• Double-conversion efficiency up to 97%

• ECOnversion™ mode for efficiency up to 99% without compromising protection

• Lower total cost of ownership through reduced energy and cooling costs

  
  

2. Modular & Scalable Design

• Pay-as-you-grow architecture supports expansion without over-provisioning

• Hot-swappable power modules minimize downtime during maintenance

• Capacity upgrades without complete system replacement

  
  

3. Smaller Footprint, Greater Density

• Vertical scalability makes better use of space

• Higher power density than the 93E, ideal for facilities with growing IT demands

  
  

4. Enhanced Monitoring & Connectivity

• Advanced monitoring tools for proactive management

• Seamless integration with building management and DCIM systems

• Remote management options for distributed facilities

  
  

What This Means for Current 93E Users

If your facility is currently running an Eaton 93E, here’s what you need to know:

• No new units will be manufactured after January 2025.

• Service and spare parts will remain available for a limited period under Eaton’s end-of-life policy.

• Migration planning should begin now, especially for facilities approaching capacity or experiencing rising maintenance costs.

  
  

Transitioning to the Eaton 93PM UPS not only ensures ongoing manufacturer support but also provides long-term operational savings through efficiency gains.

Final Thoughts

The Eaton 93E served as a trusted backbone of power protection for years, but as demands on energy efficiency and uptime grow, the move to the Eaton 93PM UPS is a natural step forward. Facilities upgrading to the 93PM will benefit from:

• Better scalability

• Lower total cost of ownership

• Modern monitoring and management capabilities

• Improved energy performance

  
  

By planning ahead for this transition, businesses can ensure continuous, reliable protection while future-proofing their critical power infrastructure.
