Desktop power protection

The Eaton 5SC1500 is a line-interactive tower UPS rated at 1500 VA and 1080 W for 120 V environments. It provides battery backup and surge protection for workstations, networking gear and peripherals through eight NEMA 5-15R outlets fed by a NEMA 5-15P input plug.

Home offices and small IT loads

This unit suits users who need USB and RS-232 connectivity for Eaton Intelligent Power Manager software and want a compact tower that fits on a desk or shelf. It is not for loads that exceed 1080 W, for sites without a NEMA 5-15P supply, or for installations that require rack mounting.

Runtime at full load

At full load the battery delivers five minutes of runtime, while half load provides thirteen minutes. This single figure determines whether the UPS gives enough time for an orderly shutdown of the connected equipment.

Questions about this item

Does the Eaton 5SC1500 need a NEMA 5-15P wall outlet to operate?

Yes, the unit ships with a NEMA 5-15P input plug and requires a standard 120 V NEMA 5-15R wall receptacle rated for at least 15 A.

Will the 5SC1500’s USB and RS-232 ports work with a legacy server that only has a serial console?

The UPS provides both USB and RS-232 interfaces; connect the RS-232 cable to the server’s serial port and use Eaton Intelligent Power Manager for monitoring.

How can I confirm the 5SC1500 is delivering battery backup after installation?

Pull the input plug while a load is attached; the UPS should continue powering the outlets and the management software will report on-battery status with the expected run time.
