Intex 1KVA UPS for 2.5k or APC 600VA UPS for 2k.

Are Intex one's any good?? They create a lot of noise( not physical rather electrical.. )

BTW will 600VA one stand for 15min??

 

[ashis_lakra]

If you're gaming then 600VA will shut down in 2-3 min. I've APC 600VA ( 10 months old ) and with just 130W power consumption on load, it gives me 3-4 min backup only.

Go with 1.1KVA UPS from Intex, it'll be able to hold loads and aren't really bad as their PSU.

Any ideas about microtek UPS's ??

^^ not good IMO - either APC or Numeric.

What's the current price of Numeric 800VA & APC 650VA UPS ?
Does those have any surge protector(to protect from lightning) for RJ45 connector ?

Intex 1KVA UPS for 2.5k or APC 600VA UPS for 2k.

Avoid Intex for good.

 

[topgear]

APC 650VA is around ~3.2k but no Idea about 800VA Numeric UPS though a 600VA UPS costs Rs. ~1.65k

 

[Revolution]

Why so big price difference between 650VA and 600VA ?
800VA Numeric UPS should be way cheaper than APC though.

APC 650VA is around ~3.2k but no Idea about 800VA Numeric UPS though a 600VA UPS costs Rs. ~1.65k

Well would APC 600VA for about >10 min backup for my system

650VA one costs too much...

 

[d6bmg]

Backup time depends on battery rating, not on the UPS VA rating. See & compare Amp rating of different batteries inside the different UPS, buy that one which have max Amp rating.

Get APC 600VA, get peace of mind.

 

[Chaitanya]

Thnx for info..
Will go to market tomorrow for APC 600VA one..

 

[ssdivisiongermany1933]

APC is 650 VA is around 2.6 K and 600VA arnd 2K

 

[topgear]

^^ price has hiked a lot and about the huge price difference between 600VA and 650VA - 650VA ups lets you connect it with pc using a usb cable to monitor various values and some power management feature through software.

Today got the APC Back-UPS 600, 230V without auto shutdown software, India For 2.1k..
Thanx everyone.

 

[topgear]

^^ congrats but it will give you around ~15 mins backup time when there's no huge load on the pc ( read gaming or other cpu/gpu intensive apps are running ).
