After experiencing multiple power outages and voltage fluctuations, I decided it was time to invest in a reliable Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system. Eaton recently launched the Eaton 5A Line-Interactive UPS in the Philippines.
In this review, I will share my personal experience with Eaton 5A 700VA/360W UPS and its ability to safeguard my devices and systems, including PCs, workstations, internet routers, and more.
Design and Built
Design and Built
The Eaton 5A 700VA/360W has the typical UPS design, featuring a plastic casing and weighing 4 kilograms, with dimensions measuring 297 x 101 x 142. Positioned at the front are the LED indicator and the On/Off button, while the rear of the unit is equipped with universal outlets, an AC input breaker, and the AC plug.
The Eaton 5A UPS boasts 4 universal outlets, making it a versatile choice for protecting a range of devices, from personal computers and workstations to internet access points, POS equipment, business systems, and more. I found this feature particularly convenient, as it allows for seamless connectivity of various devices, whether in a home or office setting.
The Universal, NEMA Universal, and Schuko outlets allow for easy connection to various types of equipment, from PCs and HDTVs to many more.
Furthermore, its small size makes installation a breeze, allowing me to place it conveniently in my setup without any hassle. This becomes an advantage in situations where space is limited or when users seek unobtrusive integration within their existing setup.
Whether placed discreetly on a desktop, tucked away in a confined equipment cabinet, or mounted inconspicuously on a wall, the Eaton 5A UPS ensures adaptability and convenience in deployment.
Performance
The Eaton 5A UPS is designed with the ability to start directly from its internal batteries, a feature known as "Cold Start." This function is great in situations where mains power is unavailable, allowing the UPS to power up and promptly support connected devices. Whether faced with a power outage or during the initial setup of the UPS.

The indicated typical battery runtime for the Eaton 5A UPS offers a comprehensive breakdown of its performance across diverse load conditions, delivering valuable insights into its operational prowess.
Under a 100W IT load, the UPS can sustain a runtime of approximately 18 minutes, highlighting its capability to support connected devices seamlessly during prolonged power fluctuations or outages.
At a 50% load, the UPS maintains a runtime of approximately 5 minutes, a crucial metric for users with moderate power requirements. However, at a 75% load, the Eaton 5A UPS provides a runtime of merely 1.5 minutes, signaling the need for a prompt shutdown of all connected devices under such a load condition.
These runtime specifics equip users with essential information to make informed decisions about the UPS's suitability for their specific power protection needs. Also, The Eaton 5A UPS requires 4 to 6 hours to recover up to 90% capacity.
Warranty
Eaton demonstrates its confidence in the Eaton 5A UPS by offering a solid 2-year warranty. This warranty period not only provides an extended coverage window but also provides peace of mind.
Conclusion
In my experience, the Eaton 5A UPS has proven to be a reliable and affordable power protection solution. With line-interactive technology, AVR functionality, surge protection, and the ability to start up on battery power, it ensures your electronics remain safe and operational even during adverse conditions. The 2-year warranty and easy integration features provide an extra layer of confidence. If you are looking for a dependable and budget-friendly UPS, the Eaton 5A UPS is a solid choice that has consistently delivered when it mattered most.
