wiztec,I think what you mean is 'inverter' - try Kenital

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

Yep am looking for inverters and buttery that can hold power for atleast 20 mins or more as i switch on my silly manual Generator... oops and these things seems un affordable doing business in kenya is just not working out,i guess i will need to go to somali soon. I need abt 2.5KVA inverter and 200H Buttery for my server room. I just hope i can afford this hi maneno ya economy ita tumaliza...

It`s batteries not butteries.
Si kwa ubaya but sometimes you look at the beginning of a word and your mind completes it. I`d started wondering what backup butcheries were all about.

....are you still attending those foreign language classes....? ...english tutors are available....a good a language for somalis no longer interested in piracy......kiswahili is good too for business...

...google types of batteries/ UPS .....know what you need then,visit Solatek

@ wiztech,

I think from your intentions what you need is not a battery but an Uninterruptable Power Supply unit (UPS)...this is a back up unit with integral battery arrays,charger,inverter and protection circuitry...when the mains supply goes dead the integral batteries supply the needed power...they come in different sizes in terms of load and back-up time. UPS's are mainly used to back up power to the connected appliances in your office which are sensitive to any power outages eg computers,servers,large scale data storage,cctv workstations etc.

the very first step to determine the size of the UPS is to know how much power in total you want connected to it...simply put determine which appliances which should be connected to the UPS. secondly convert the real power into its respective apparent power component. thirdly,with your KVA rating and the back-up time you have already dtermined the size of the UPS...you can now confidently go a dealer and request for a quotation.

one more thing you may wish to compare the price of a UPS and that of an AMF unit. AMF is the short form of AutoMains Failure. this unit integrates both generator and the mains (KPLC) supply in such a way that when the mains goes dead,the load is transfered directly to the generator. this means that the generator starts immediately and automatically (you dont have to go and switch on the generator yourself). AMFs are also manufactured in different sizes in terms of load (Ampereage). its determination follows the same sequence just like for the UPS,and the current drawn by the appliances is calculated which is the basic ordering information in addition to supply voltage.

BTW what appliances are you talking about here?

@Kaigangio he is talking about a server room.

The AMF will not work as it has a delay 5 seconds before the switch over therefore will shut down the equipment as opposed to 16-34 milliseconds for the inverter or UPS which is unnoticable.

@Wiztec for the inverter try Kenital for the UPS try Mecer (Westlands) or APC (Mombasa Rd),with Mecer being the cheaper of the two.

If possible go for the scalable rack mount option.

Yap its a good idea to think backup power. You need an inverter and some batteries(UPS pack). Try Powercontrols (Enterprise Rd)

@ djagame,

the microprocessor based AMFs that are constructed nowadays have a very short delay time of less than 5 seconds...you will only notice a flicker once the changeover takes place and i believe this instant will not cause the computers to shut down...at least for an efficient AMF.
