M90C-6S scalable three-phase modular rack UPS
The M90C-6S is a scalable, rack-integrated three-phase modular UPS for environments where power needs exceed a rack UPS but don’t justify facility-level infrastructure. Built on a 6-slot architecture using hot-swappable 5 kW and 8 kW power modules, it scales from 5 kW to 24 kW in a single rack footprint — with N+1 redundancy, modular battery and runtime expansion, and a clear upgrade path. Unity output power factor (kVA = kW), up to 98% ECO efficiency, a full wrap-around maintenance bypass, configurable receptacle panels, and TAA compliance for federal and regulated environments.

Rack-integrated three-phase that scales
The M90C-6S defines the rack-integrated three-phase modular UPS category — bridging the gap between single-phase rack UPS (such as the J90 and P91) and facility-level platforms (such as the M90U and Li90). Capacity is added incrementally by installing 5 kW or 8 kW power modules, redundancy is configured as N+1 within the same system, and runtime is expanded by adding battery modules — reducing overprovisioning and aligning UPS capacity with actual load growth. Hot-swappable power and battery modules and an in-frame maintenance bypass keep service fast and front-accessible.
TAA compliant for federal & regulated environments
With TAA compliance, modular front-access serviceability, and a rack-integrated footprint, the M90C-6S suits federal and government IT, healthcare systems, secure network environments, and other regulated deployments — supporting phased modernization and standardized service workflows without floor-standing facility infrastructure.
What the M90C-6S delivers
Add 5 kW or 8 kW power modules to grow from 5 kW to 24 kW within a single rack footprint — matching capacity to load without oversizing or replacing the chassis.
Configure redundant power and battery modules for the highest availability inside one frame, instead of deploying and managing multiple distributed UPS units.
Unity PF (kVA = kW) delivers full usable watts — reducing oversizing — with best-in-class efficiency up to 98% ECO mode for the lowest energy consumption and heat output.
Power and battery modules are hot-swappable from the front for rapid service, and a full wrap-around maintenance bypass (behind the hinged LCD) transfers the load to utility power for safe on-site maintenance.
Output on terminal blocks and/or up to four configurable receptacle panels (5-20R, L6-20R/30R, L14-30R, L21-20R/30R, C19), letting you tailor distribution to the deployment.
A 5.7-inch graphic display shows system status and alarms, and each power module carries its own LCD for module-level detail and redundancy status.
The scalable rack three-phase tier
The M90C-6S is selected when three-phase power is required inside the rack, infrastructure is scaling beyond a 3 kVA rack UPS, redundancy is needed without multiple distributed units, or a clear upgrade path to larger modular systems is required.
Step down to the M90C-2S (5–8 kW) for smaller rack deployments, or up to the facility-scale M90U and lithium Li90 when capacity outgrows the rack.
Scale incrementally instead of oversizing
Traditional three-phase UPS are fixed-capacity, floor-standing, and difficult to scale. The M90C-6S enables incremental capacity growth, rack-based deployment, integrated N+1 redundancy, and simplified long-term expansion.
| Architecture | M90C-6S (modular) | Traditional three-phase |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity scaling | Add 5 / 8 kW modules as needed | Fixed capacity |
| Deployment | Rack-integrated | Floor-standing |
| Redundancy | Built-in (N+1) | Requires multiple systems |
| Runtime | Modular battery expansion | Less flexible |
| Long-term expansion | Simplified, in-chassis | Replace at capacity |

All models share a 6-slot enclosure (3 universal slots that take a power or battery module, plus 3 battery-only slots) and unity output power factor. Battery system is ±96 VDC (default) or ±120 VDC; each battery module (BMXRv2) holds 16 × 12V high-rate cells and an integral DC breaker. Runtime expands by adding battery modules — up to 8 per power module — with the optional BC7 cabinet adding 7 battery slots.
