If Voltage fluctuation is the issue adding a servo stabilizer to the current setup will fix the issue. But go for Online UPS if price is not a problem (Numeric Online UPS 1KVA 36V ~ 12k w/o batteries). Online Ups will give continuous pure sinewave output at any instant.

Are you talking about these Numeric Online UPS? :::: Numeric Ups :::: these seems to be very expensive, these won't come in 12-14k. BTW i am thinking of getting one of these APC's UPS, won't these will fix my issue as asingh is already using 1KVA backup UPS of APC and he is not having any issue.

@TE guys please ensure me that these two model which i have chosen won't give any issue(means the load handling) in the future.

APC Smart-UPS 1500VA USB & Serial 230V

APC Back-UPS RS 1500VA, 230V, INDIA
 
1500VA is overkill. Any well built 1kv should suffice. My wife's C2Q system is running absolutely fine on a El Nova 1kv. An 800VA from APC should be enough for you. My present config of an i7@stock/UD7+6GB RAM/4 HDDs/2 ODDs/5870/Audio Engine A2/ 24" LCD/external 3.5 500GB HDD/2 UV CCFLs is drawing around 450va on idle right now (according to the info on the UPS).
 
i think 1000VA is more than sufficient if you only want to safely shut off the machine in case of power failure. If Smart UPS which are expensive is out of your budget, get the Back UPS RS series. The RS 1000VA (600Watt) or so model is for around 6K i think.

Just call up apc's toll free number and get the pricing for that model.

Thanks for replaying guys,

Ok i understand 1KVA RS series will be enough for my current rig but as i mentioned earlier within a year or two i will have a 1000W PSU(not more than that ever) and if in future i made a SLI setup with more HDD like 8 HDD then the 1KVA (600W) will be an issues so i was thinking of getting a future proof UPS as these things are not changed within quickly. there is around 4-5k difference in 1KVA and 1.5KVA.
 
Get the APC SUA1000UXI this one is one of the better smart series as a PF of .8 and can handle 800watts of load higher then SUA1000i & 1500i models which have a power factor of PF .67 670watts and PF of .65 980watts respectively.
THE 1000UXI also uses external batteries so you can get better backup time by putting bigger size batteries.
 
A "year or two" is a long time. Sell off whatever you're gonna buy now when the need for upgrade kicks in. Batteries degrade, y'know...

good, so what have you decided to buy?

btw, don't open multiple threads here and there just because people didn't find time to answer. You will get confused and it will be hard for people here to give a good reply. There won't be a flow in the answers.

The posts 85-89 if they were in this thread would have definitely changed my answer.

Will buy 1KVA RS series APC. or 1KVA Smart UPS APC.

And i didn't make multiple thread, the thread which you posted in above link is not created by me. ya i put my issue there but didn't get proper replay so created one new thread. (i have mentioned the reason on that Of PSU, UPS, PFC and Sine wave post).

Will this APC SUA1000UXI model be locally available? and any price guess? adding external batteries won't be expensive? and that SUA1500i only got PF of .65 or .9?
 
Happy Singh said:
Is this the price of SUA1000XI model in ~10k is with external battery?

and @TE this Smart UPS and Backup UPS are not online UPS right? (correct me if i am wrong)

10k without batteries you can add a pair of 9ah batteries for 2k or 18ah batteries for 3k .

None are On line UPS.

I have seen this model on Lynx-India site. Alternatively you can call APC sales support of your region/city. I believe the online UPS are normally used for large datacentres/ servers as they provide better protection as compared to standby/line interactive ups. They are very expensive as compared to stand by UPS. The UPS you selected is Line interactive.

well its easily available here in bangalore,its also available in lynx-india.This model is also called 1000XLI in some countries.
The online UPS are used for people who have very sensitve electronics where even a few Milli sec of power loss can cause some series data or failure of operation etc.All software companies that i know use On line UPS and microsoft bangalore division use APC brand.
They are about twice as expensive as normal ones,they deplete the batteries faster.
For home users people who have a modem based on a NON -Linear power supply will notice that their modem will restart (models like Dlink GLB 502t which has a non linear psu,the replacement model does come with linear PSU) during power cuts if one use a Line interactive UPS.

Obviously the SUA1000UXI the one which is priced a bit higher is of the newer batch is what i heard when i was trying to match the price of lynx to the local dealers and suppliers here in bangalore.
for the batteries buy it from a battery dealer since their prices are usually much cheaper then the price quoted by UPS dealers.you can put anything from a pair 7ah batteries to 200ah pair.

Ok will go for SUA1000UXI but about batteries i really don't have any knowledge and idea, so can you please post the link for batteries which can give at-least 15-20min backup (At full load).

Well you will need a pair 17ah or 18ah batteries to get 15 to 20min backup at full load.the batteries costs around 1.4k each so a total of 2.8k ,These are sealed batteries also called VRLA batteries from companies like Quanta( a division of Amaron batteries are the cheaper ones),while Exide Power safe is a bit more expensive.
