Description
The Eaton C-3000RN is a professional-grade power solution designed for high-availability environments. Utilizing online double-conversion topology, this unit constantly regenerates power to provide a stable 110V output, isolating connected equipment from all types of utility power disturbances. With a 3000VA / 2100W capacity and a compact 2U rackmount form factor, it balances high power density with space efficiency in standard 19-inch server cabinets. The inclusion of a pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with sensitive active PFC power supplies found in modern enterprise hardware.
This product is for:
- Data Center Administrators: Ideal for maintaining uptime for high-density rack servers and storage arrays.
- Network Engineers: Provides reliable backup for core switches, routers, and edge computing nodes.
- Laboratory Technicians: Protects precision analytical instruments that require stable voltage and zero-millisecond switching.
- Small Business Owners: Ensures critical local servers and NAS units perform safe automated shutdowns during extended outages.
- AV Professionals: Delivers clean, noise-filtered power to high-end rack-mounted audio and video processing equipment.

Integrating the C-3000RN into a server environment is straightforward thanks to its standard 482.6 mm (19-inch) construction. The front-facing LED interface provides immediate visual feedback on load levels and battery status, while the Winpower software suite enables sophisticated power management and automated system shutdowns. For facilities requiring longer backup windows, the unit features extended battery capability, allowing for the connection of external battery modules. The internal bypass ensures that even in the event of an internal fault, power continues to flow to the connected load, maintaining system continuity.
When compared to line-interactive UPS systems, the Eaton C-3000RN offers superior protection by eliminating the 4-10ms transfer time typical of lower-tier units. While line-interactive models rely on a transformer to regulate voltage, this double-conversion unit converts AC to DC and back to AC, providing a perfect buffer against surges, spikes, and brownouts. Furthermore, the 3000VA rating provides a significant headroom advantage over 1500VA or 2000VA models, specifically through the inclusion of the high-current L5-30R outlet, which is necessary for larger enterprise-grade power distribution units (PDUs).
What is the benefit of online double-conversion technology?
- Unlike standard UPS units, online double-conversion ensures there is zero transfer time when switching to battery power, providing the highest level of protection for sensitive electronics.
Can I increase the backup runtime of the C-3000RN?
- Yes, this model supports extended battery capability, allowing you to connect additional battery modules to meet specific runtime requirements.
What types of outlets are available on this unit?
- The C-3000RN features four standard NEMA 5-15R outlets for typical hardware and one L5-30R twist-lock outlet for high-capacity connections.
Is the Eaton C-3000RN compatible with remote monitoring?
- The unit includes an expansion slot for optional communication cards, such as SNMP cards, enabling remote monitoring and management over a network.
Q&A:
How loud is the UPS during operation?
- The unit operates at a noise level of less than 50 dB at one meter, which is standard for rackmount equipment intended for server rooms or dedicated IT closets.
