ups

Hi, I am thinking of adding a UPS to my media server and another to my router and switch, with the intention of not suffering during short power outages. The main drivers being a desire to protect the hardware from damage due to power outages (pc is already on a surge protector) due to unsafe...

Heya, so I’ve got another question. I’ve estimated my future PCs maximum watt usage to be 909 (used PC part picker then multiplied it by 1.5) and with a monitor, mouse and keyboard to be around 940 at most. My question is that if I have a 1000W PSU and UPS will that be enough? Do I need to worry...

I know this topic has been probably talked to death. However, I don't think there's a definitive answer. So my question is, out of the three options below, which one is the best next step for me? 1. Replace the PSU with a different one 2. Buy a mains conditioner like this one assuming wiring in...

Hi all, with all the potential electric disturbances this coming winter I am going to buy a UPS to protect my PC. The PC and monitor uses about 230w alone plus I need to plug my speakers and scanner into the UPS, also the PSU in my PC is 550w but Im not sure that makes a difference anyway. So...

Uninterrupted Power Supply questions ! Afternoon all, having a fun research project and was wondering on this forum... Does anyone use UPS ? If so for what line of work ? Would you use it for gaming ( from Pro to content creator ) and What features would you like to see on UPS that aren't...

Hello, Knowing that the PS5 is still pretty sensitive to sudden power drops (whilst turned on or in rest mode) I decided that I should buy a UPS. I found a good bargain for a brand new 800VA / 480w UPS and I was wondering if it is enough so that I can safely turn off the PS5 until the power is...

A follow-on from this thread. TLDR: great little UPS. I had a bad experience with APC so decided to switch away from them. Cyberpower got recommended and so I purchased one to protect my PC (i7-8700 plus RTX 2080 Ti plus three monitors, plus bits). The front panel and the app said it would...

I have an APC Back-UPS 1400 which is dead as a doornail. No lights, no noises, no nothing. It failed when I replaced the batteries (purchased direct from APC). It's still dead with the old batteries. Is this something a non-electrician can investigate and fix?

Hi all, Just looking for a bit of advice regarding purchasing a UPS for my home server and network. At present I have a Dell R420 with dual 550 Watt PSUs which run a windows server 2016 VM and a Sophos UTM VM, a Cisco SG300 24 POE switch (which runs 3 POE APs and a CCTV IP camera), a Virgin...

So I've had this UPS around 5 years: Cyberpower PFC Sinewave Series 1500VA UPS (CP1500EPFCLCD) Recently something tripped the fuse in our house and my UPS started complaining. Went and looked at the display and it says "Fault F02" or something on the screen. Because it's been on for about 5...

My UPS has failed. I've tried replacing the battery without success. The failed one was 700VA. The UPS is for home use: a single PC and three screens (see sig). I want battery backup and surge protection. I would prefer the UPS to be inline. I don't expect extended use - just enough to finish...

So, following a power cut last night I thinking that it might be a good idea to get a UPS (well maybe actually 2 in reality) so that things can be kept running during a short outage and at least be shutdown cleanly during a longer one. But this is something which I know very little about (most...

Hi guys, I've been asked to spec up potential max power drawer for a server room in a new building for a customer. The electrician has requested to know what kinda circuit/breakers need to go in. It's only a small company and will be using the below (Wattage estimated based on W=VxA). ADVA...
