What's the UPS that you are using?

[Anusha]

My PowerTree S600B is dieing (can't keep the PC running for more than 2 minutes) and I need a new one. I just want to know what you are using, what capacity, how long it can hold the PC on, price and more importantly, where to buy one. There aren't that many reviews on UPS' because people in developed countries hardly get a power failure unlike here. So this time, I can't rely upon the reviews. I need your feedback.

[pasanlaksiri]

PowerTree S1200P ( simply its mean 1.2KVA ) it has two 7.5Amps batterys and Two Inverter Transformers. It can hold up to 20 mins I think.

Machan mam full down yanakan idala naha. 20 minuts nam idala thiyenawa. yep 8000 bucks

[zCexVe]

Except for battery backup other features r in my PSU so I dont use one.

Pasan ur UPS can hold ur PC for about 35 mins max to the details I knw about ur PC.
eg:-
I P4 3.4 with HT 2MB
Intel mobo
2GB DDR 400
nVidia GF 5850 256 MB GPU[It is actually a large one costs two PCIs fancy drawings,coolers backside heatsinks}
120 EIDE 7200rpm+200 SATA 7200 rpm
17' philips

In 3DS MAX rendering pasans'UPS hold up for about slightly>15 mins.

[Anusha]

That's good to know. But I don't trust PowerTree. I need a much more reputed brand.

[tckrockz]

Power Tree dnt knw any more infos

[pasanlaksiri]

APC is a best brand. And Price is also SUPER.

[zCexVe]

Ee vunata Anusha Ayye Many trust power tree ne.
Heard mercury S*** is good at UPS,Its fancy-silver in colour-got RUPS 2000 soft too,.But I dont like u buying a Mercury,really.
APC has some rep.
If u can FENTON power pal will be a good one.
Leums r frm taiwan as Powertree & as good as it.
ExtreamePC has some UPS too.But only saw one.

[GNS]

I'm using PowerTree S650BX. It holds abt 20mins when power cut...
It was only Rs3500. I think it is a good choice...

[GNS]

My Vendor said Mercury & PowerTree are same in Quality & Back-up time.
He uses a PowerTree one. So I forced to buy a PowerTree one.
Because He doesn't use hardware carelessly...

I know Mercury brand is crap! I didn't say I was looking for a Mercury branded UPS.

Does anyone here use a Patriot Viper UPS. I'd like to hear some feedback on them.

APC ups wala SWITCHING time eka tikak wadi normal UPS walata wada.

Godakma companys wala use karanne APC. normal 600VA UPS ekak unath 7000bucks witharawenawa. Quality is superb.

Patriot ups ekak use karana friend kenek innawa. But I dont like it. Switching time is same.

[Anusha]

I don't care about the switching time if it doesn't reset the PC.
Anyway, I'll research more about APC ones.

[GNS]

What is that SWITCHING Time???

& 7000bucks also????

[Anusha]

What is that SWITCHING Time???

Switching time it the time which takes the UPS ti switch from offline to online mode and vise versa.
7000 bucks = Rs.7,000/= :lol: :lol:

Don't they have larger capacity ones. 300W is a bit too low (on efficiency).

Well, it didn't solve the problem, 'cos it was not a problem with the UPS. :D :D

Yeah, the MCB that's giving power through to my room also turn off sometimes when I turn on the PC. But this is just a 5A MCB, with several lights are powered as well. Lazy yto switch to a higher capacity MCB :D
