Uninterruptable Power Supply recommendations

Sep 08, 2006 9 Replies

I live on the fringe of the metropolitan area and we seem to get quite a few interruptions to electricity supply. Mostly a few seconds to a few minutes.



Anybody recently bought a UPS which impresses them as value for money?



I just need to cover 2 desktop PCs, modem, cordless phone and a fax.



Any recoomendations?



Cheers.


What I was impressed about was it will (via USB) shut your computer down before the battery runs out. Also has phone/power surge protection as well.

Cheers TT

BTW isn't there table of sizes/times upside down?

I'm happy with my Eaton Powerware 5110. It is a bit more expensive than the 3105 but it includes mains voltage regulation as well as the UPS function.

Thanks Guys,

After looking at the specs of your recommended suggestions, I'm thinking the 5110 700va might the one to start with for me.

Appreciate your input.

Cheers.

Just a quick note, that direct URL complains that the session has expired. If you load

How utterly ridiculous that an online store/catalogue makes it more difficult to find information on a product you may be considering purchasing! I guess search engine traffic means nothing to them......

I haven't bought one, but this is pretty cheap: .

Thanks for the link. Just got one too, for an installation that suffers from short power failures.

Unit is well made by todays standards (as I had to open it to remove that annoying alarm beeper) and I think it represents good value.
