Emergency Computer Power Supplies

Sudden power loss can not only be harmful to your computer but a waste of time and resources if you loose information. UPS units will keep your computer running during a power failure giving you a chance to save any documents before it gently shuts it down. To run a computer in a remote area or during a power failure an Inverter Generator will supply it with clean stable quiet power.

UPS back up

With an UPS (uninterruptible power supply) basically a battery, charger and surge protector all in one box your computer will be shut down through its proper sequences and you will have time to save your documents. With enough power outlets to protect your entire system, built-in phone/fax/modem line (DSL compatible) protection and easy-to-install safe system shutdown software all make this power protection solution the best value for home and home office computers. They are available in different sizes, the larger units have higher capacity batteries so will power your computer for a longer period of time. Through USB connectivity software programs you control how they operate, there are settings to retain either maximum battery life, the computer is shut down immediately or maximum up-time, the computer is shut down when the battery is almost drained.

Inverter Generators

Conventional Generators Produce a Single Sine Wave per Rotation. The engine rotates two large coils of wire inside a circumference of magnets. Each full engine rotation produces a single sine wave of AC (alternating current) power. The engine must maintain a constant speed of 3,600 rpm to produce standard 60 Hz (cycles per second). (60 cycles per second times 60 (seconds per minute) = 3,600 cycles per minute). No matter how much load (lights, TV, sump pump, etc.) is needed, the generator must run at its full speed of 3,600 rpm, producing noise and consuming fuel. Fluctuations in the power may cause your computer to suddenly shut down.

The inverter module "converts" 3-phase high frequency AC power into DC power which is then "Inverted" to a very clean & stable 120 volt, 60 Hz AC power signal. All functions of both generator and engine are controlled by this single, sophisticated electronic module. When there is a low current draw the engine runs at a lower speed which saves fuel and makes less noise yet produces the same stable power signal.

Never connect your generator to your household wiring unless you have the proper circuitry installed to isolate it from the main grid. Feed back from your generator could put repair workers on the line in jeporady.
