just out of curiosity i've been looking to get a UPS but am kind of confused as to how many watts a UPS can run and for how long.

Considering a 300w heater and (2) 6100 tunzes at 45 watts each totaling 90watts .. How long does this UPS keep these running and is this too many watts for it?

$18 shipping to me :bigeyes: that sucka is heavy

a 2000 VA UPS can
operate it's own converter (with no extra load) for just
over 8 hours. A 1250 VA UPS could run its converter for
about 5. These are *very* rough guesses based on information
provided by one vendor for one vendor.

aaron I have a 1500VA and it will only run 1 6100 for 260 mins according to the digital display. That sucks. I am returning it and getting a generator.

 

[aaron23]

I've got to save up for a big generator, thanks for the info fry and rich

That give you 4 hours at the boat without hurrying home to hookup the generator:dog2:

I have a 500 that will run my stream for a little while. The $200 I spent for the 1500VA needs to go toward the price of the Honda

generators arent that expensive. btw why run heaters in the summer?? is it necessary?

 

[aaron23]

no its not necessary but its just incase, I live in a fair sized house and temp is not around 75 or so... it may drop below even during summer, weird weather you never know

Scarf, generators that sound like lawnmowers aren't that expensive

You can get a small one from Harbor Freight for less than $300, but you may not live too long if you have mean neighbors.

a generator is the best bet ..you can alway get gas out your car and run your whole tank and keep a couple beers cold..

 

[aaron23]

can you guys point to a fair priced generator to keep mostly 2 tunzes on and a heater? I'd like to know what im trying to save for and its cost :happysad:

[reef93]

where I can get Honda Generator for good price?

 

[FRY]

now you have to search for good price im still looking

Keeping the heater on during the summer is good because it maintains temp stability. But in an emergency situation during the summer I would not be concerned. Winter, yes.

Im looking to get a generator also. Havent researched them enough yet.

I have a family member that owned a warehouse that manufactured airplane parts for Nasa and the military. When he sold the business he kept one of the generators. During the blackout several years ago he was able to keep everything in his house running, including A/C, and also lights outside for the neighbors. The beast had to be assembled on the spot because it was so big. He can only use one side of his 2 car garage.
