Skunks, Need a UPS that can support about 5 desktops for about an hour. Any leads?
1 hr is very long for a UPS. Buy an inverter with 3 batteries. It will go for atleast 4 hrs. On Nov 4, 2016 07:58, "George Muhoro via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Alvin, We have quite efficient generators which dont consume lots of fuel.Alternative one will be self-contained Solar power system in place.

Small generator has to involve stabiliser, power fluctuations, surge protector, fuel, maintanance, pollution, expertise. So many issues when an inverter is a switch. On. And off. On Nov 4, 2016 13:47, "Raphael Mutili via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

The general rule of thumb is you use inverters if your power outages are not too long i.e. less than 24 hours on average. However, if your inverter charging system supports it, you can add more batteries in parallel and even achieve a week of battery uptime - depending on the load you have. If you have outages frequently exceeding 24 hours then you can supplement the existing inverter system with an autostart generator or replace it with a generator entirely. Autostart gensets make sense (technical and financial) when you have a huge KVA load along with long outages. The other advantage with inverters is the immediate power switchover to and fro - (all?) generators don't have this function. That means your IT equipment never reboots unexpectedly. I'm speaking from experience having installed multiple inverter sites coupled with deep cycle batteries - they run flawlessly for years. Over time (years) you'll notice the backup time reduces gradually as the batteries age - but by this time they have paid back several times over.

Please take the advice. Professionals would rather sell you the correct thing then what you think you need. I am sure the person that asked the question is wiser and will adopt their setup and procurement based on the best practice shared. p/s I have been in a situation where the media organization I worked with remained on air despite power failing (main line feeding our section of Nairobi went down for several days), the generator ran until it got an engine knock, invertor batteries then ran dry and the ups was our last line of defense before power was restored.
