Since the advent of technology, voltage regulators have become a thing of the past for computer users. But ever wonder why when you charge your computers, the chargers often make a spark when inserted to a power outlet? That’s where a UPS or uninterruptible power supply comes in. And that’s what the Eaton 5A Advantage Series is all about.

A UPS or uninterruptible power supply essentially provides surge protection. It’s so your precious electronics do not sustain damage in the event of sudden voltage spikes. These can happen during power outages, lightning strikes, or even just turning on high-power electronics.

Surge protectors Eaton 5A Advantage Series deflects the excess voltage away from your precious gadgets to prevent damage.

The Eaton 5A UPS

Meant for homes and small office spaces, the Eaton 5A UPS comes in with an understated look. It’s something you tuck away and just basically forget about.

The Advantage Series is specifically designed for smaller-scale uses. The options are as follows:

Capacity Options:

700VA (360W) – PHP 2199
900VA (480W) – PHP 4199
1200VA (650W) – PHP 6199
1500VA (900W) – PHP 9599
2200VA (1200W) – PHP 11999

We had the privilege of trying the 900VA (480W) variant. For the most part, we plugged it with a Television, Sound Bar, and Gaming Console and it worked exactly as intended.

We tried to simulate surge spikes and the Eaton 5A UPS worked as intended. It kept the appliances turned on long enough that they would go to sleep mode on their own and prevent damage.

This was especially helpful for the gaming console which he liked leaving on Rest Mode. This allowed us to use its cloud gaming features even while we’re away on an event or even during an out-of-the-country coverage. With the Eaton 5A UPS, we had little worry that the console would sustain any damage from sudden power outages or other unforeseen situations.

That’s primarily what a UPS offers – peace of mind that the electronics you spent your hard-earned cash on won’t suffer any untoward damages from voltage spikes.

Other use-cases?

Depending on how your space is set up, the Eaton 5A UPS Advantage Series can easily be classified as a must-have.

Remote working rose during the pandemic. With that came people upgrading their workstations at home. If you opted for a desktop setup, you best believe a UPS will be incredibly useful.

For small businesses with POS equipment, self-service kiosks, and the like, the UPS are key so that everything stays powered. Ever been to convenience stores that oftentimes do not have cashless payments or tell you that their kiosks are offline? That is exactly what these Eaton devices are for: to keep machines working 24/7 and for these transactions to be carried out without any hurdle.

Other things to keep in mind

Selecting which one you need can be tough. There are plenty of things to keep in mind other than the capacity itself. You also need to check if you have the space required for it. That means taking into account both its size and weight.

For the best informed decisions, go to this guide on the Eaton website.

There you’ll find a list of their products available as well as how long they can keep your devices turned on.
