on the contrary.. if your device develope some issues in future their only solution will be change the motherboard.. in my experiance they are not so keen on providing support after warranty..
their products are best but keep this in mind too..
 
If you need smart capabilities then APC would be the goto. I'm using a 1kVA Numeric UPS for last 3.5years. Its VFM but no smart features.

I have used most UPS available in the market like power safe, pcom, intex all shite brands including APC in the last two decades. And I'd personally rate APC the lowest.

APC seem they are the best of german engineering products. But in my opinion you don't use german products. It's the german products that use you. I have had two of APC UPS and these are engineering disasters. These are like extremely high maintenance girlfriend one could have.

I honestly don't know which brand is good in the market. I liked pcom, it was nonsense underdog but I think the company is dead now.

Secondly, you say, you got 1000W power supply. Are there any computer UPS made to support that much load? I'd rather invest in a Home UPS inverter.

I generally avoid apc because foreign power solutions don't seem to be able to handle the low voltage/irregular supply issues in India.
At least this was the case 5+ years ago. not sure now.
 
How do you solve the UPS issue with multiple workstations 1) 1600W 2) 1000W 3) 750 W. 4) Rest of regular appliances. This set up is not operational currently but under consideration. Would inverter work in this case and does any body have experience with high power setup and corresponding upgrade of required electrical wiring and safety regulations

i guess a big capacity online ups would be required with external batteries....and they would be costing more as that high rating ups would require more high voltage like 48v or more from batteries.

just like german cars,extremly complicated and overengineered to repair and expensive to maintain. Japanese,korean products on the other hand both electronics and cars are way better in terms of maintenance and cost
 
I have a sine wave inverter and havent had much issues.. although i run a 970m laptop and a 24 inch monitor and a 2.1 speaker.. along with house fan (4) and tubelight(6+) + more..
