The Eaton®External Battery Cabinet (EBC) provides extended emergency short-term backup power for the
93E 20-30 kVA and 40-60 kVA UPS to enhance the usability and reliability of the systems. The EBC safeguards
operation during brownouts, blackouts, and other power interruptions providing cost-effective extended battery
run time. Two models are available, the 93E 30EBC and 93E 60EBC and are equipped with valve-regulated
lead-acid (VRLA) batteries.
The EBC is housed in a single free-standing cabinet with safety shields behind the doors for hazardous voltage
protection. Up to two EBCs per UPS may be used to meet application runtime needs. The cabinets match the
UPS cabinet in style and color.
Mechanical lugs located at the back of the cabinet reduce installation time, and removable battery trays with
quick disconnects between trays reduce battery maintenance time. A DC-rated circuit breaker within each
cabinet provides protection and servicing isolation.
Figure 1 shows the Eaton 93E 30EBC and Eaton 93E 60EBC.
NOTE Startup and operational checks must be performed by an authorized Eaton Customer
Service Engineer, or the warranty terms specified on the product s resources page
become void. See Chapter 8 Warranty for details. This service is offered as part of the
sales contract for the UPS. Contact an Eaton service representative in advance (a
minimum two-week notice is required) to reserve a preferred startup date.

The EBC is designed to be installed in a line-up-and-match or standalone configurations. In line-up-and-match
configurations power wiring may be routed either external to the cabinet using conduit or the power terminal
wiring channel assembly may be utilized to pass wiring between adjacent cabinets. In standalone
configurations power wiring is routed using external conduit. Connections are made to easily accessible
terminals at the back of the cabinet.
Line-up-and-match battery cabinets are installed adjacent to the UPS. The recommended installation location is
on the right side of the UPS cabinet. See Figure 2 and Figure 3 for line-up-and-match configuration views.

The following model configurations are available:
• 93E 30EBC
–Contains two or three battery strings to be used with the 93E 30 kVA UPS.
–Up to two EBCs with a total of four or six battery strings can be paralleled together to extend the run
time.
NOTE To configure a 30EBC battery system with four strings, two 30EBCs, each with two
strings, must be used.
• 93E 60EBC
–Contains four or six battery strings to be used with the 93E 60 kVA UPS.
–Up to two EBCs with a total of eight, ten, or twelve battery strings can be paralleled together to
extend the run time.
NOTE To configure a 60EBC battery system with eight strings, two 60EBCs, each with four
strings, must be used.
11..33 EEBBCC OOppttiioonnss
Battery string kits are available to upgrade each 93E 30 EBC from two strings to three strings and each 93E 60
EBC from four strings to six strings. Kits must be installed by an authorized Eaton Customer Service Engineer.
Contact an Eaton sales representative for information.
