Buying a new inverter

[SwOrd_K]

Guys planning to buy a Inverter

Requirement:
1.Backup of at-least 6 hrs
2.4 fans,4 tubes,1 mixer(sometimes)
3.Computer(optional)

I have shortlisted some APC,SUKAM,MiCROTEK. plz let me know if their is any other company that provides better service n has good performance.

Budget:15-17 K

Both APC and Sukam are good. You'll need to buy a sine wave UPS with good batteries(tubular for a longer life).

I've no idea regarding APC Home UPS(Inverters)(it's very good) but since I've used a sukam one I can say that it's been one of the best UPS-Inverters I've used till date.

I've used SuKam 1400VA PureSine Home UPS. Couple it with 2X EXIDE Tubular Batteries(AH of your choice) you're good to go for the next 5 years.

That combo would cost double of what he wants..

I doubt its possible to fulfill the requirements within the budget if he takes a good Inverter+battery.

If he can leave out the mixer, go for

Sukam Smiley 800 = 6.5-7k

and the biggest battery he can find for the remaining amount

a 150 Ah battery should last about 4 Hours with 4 fans+ 4 lights

Alternate suggestion for Rs 24k which will fulfil all your requirements and more:

Sukam Smiley 1400VA + 2x Sukam Flat plate 150Ah battery : 8k*3 = 24k

reduce battery capacity and it should be cheaper

4 fans and 4 tubes can be run easily on 850 VA inverter. If you want mixer, switch off everything else and run the mixer +1light. This is how we use it at our home and it works!
What load you want to run decided the inverter rating.
How long you want to run this decided the battery capacity.
Type of plate (flat/semi tubular/fully tubular) and battery brand decide the life span of a battery.

Sine wave inverter will cost between 6.5k to 7.5k, depending upon the brand and inverter capacity.
A load of 600W will require 60Amp of current per hr (roughly). So a 120AH battery will last you for 2 hrs at full load. A 120AH semi-tubular Amaron battery costs about 8.5k
Rest all is arithmetic!
