so lets suppose if your PC is on UPS and you're not home, and the UPS slowly starts dying due to a long outage, and when it does usually lights go dim and stuff, so wont the low voltage harm the PC too?

It depends how long you have been doing this. With the savers and fans only battery will have a longer life but with this much load your battery life will deteriorate quickly, coz we dont have better quality deep cycle batteries available which can bear a gaming pc load..

If you are on a good UPS (not those crummy local ones, and even some Chinese models), they have a serial port (RS-232) that you connect to your PC. This way the PC knows how the status/remaining power of the UPS battery, and does a graceful shut down when the battery is low.

Might even be UPS's out there that connect via USB, but I am not sure of this.

If the UPS is not connected to the PC, the UPS will keep the PC running till the battery is critically low and then it will just cut power. Before it cuts power, it starts beeping to let you know that the battery is low.

yesterday 6 loadshedding, each lasts for 20 - 40 minutes starting from 8pm till 2 am. it's getting too much
i don't think KESC will successfully empower this nation anymore

 

[JChang]

Simple answer, Install 2 things, Stabilizer for the whole house and UPs for your system. Every thing will be secured..

that ps3 is getting the ylod even after it was connected thru AVR+UPS

 

[Wolfy]

I have been thinking to get a UPS for my PC, I am running a middle range PC and PS3 and I am scared of this load shedding and low voltage issue it might brick one of them, so any one having an idea which UPS should I buy I only need 5 - 10 min back up time couz by that time my generator starts working.

hot summer+ loadshedding is just too much..Allah ka lakh lakh shuker hai i have ups, it keeps running my fan+whole pc+a energy saver for more than 3hrs.
but this loadshedding has to stop now..

 

[shah ho nam]

how do u protect ur PC and hardware against Loadshedding?
using UPS? or anything?
if yes than i would be interested to know about it
and one last thing. does frequent power failures affect ur PC really bad? how much damge can it cause?

Yes, all you need is a good UPS! due to this bloody loadshedding I once lost a PSU and a Mobo and that's not it, it feels like a shit on your face when you are doing a 7GB+ file downloading which is near to the 90% completed status and the electricity went out and later on you have to re-download the file from the start <_<

if you have expensive hardware than you should get a good quality UPS ASAP.

it reminds me that i will have to buy this APC during my vacation later in august. i find it hard to go to galaxy with security problem happens everyday here in karachi.
for now i have to rely to these 2 UPS to power up my ps3 setting

too bad gen set is too expensive for me

I am happy when its loadshedding. Atleast Generator chala ker arram say PC pe past papers to solve karpata hoon naa

 

[shah ho nam]

is it last for more than 5 hours of loadshedding? how many kva you are using?

 

[Shary Bhallu TC]

5.8 KW generator hai. Runs for 2 hours when its loadshedding, then stop for 2 hours when its light. Its like this.

 

[Aizentech]

Who cares in m.b.din loadshedding was like this light went out for 3-4 hours came back for 1 hour and then went out for 3-4 hours thank God ups kept working and i was able to survive

How long would a 1kv dry battery UPS be able run a 750Watt PSU PC and 1 LCD for?

Specifically, this one:

ALFA DIGITAL 1KV DRY BATTERY (7310-CH) WITH BATTERY CHARGER​

 

[Shary Bhallu TC]

Need to know its output Watts (like APC 1 KV battery outputs 650 Watts per hour).
