power interuption, what to do??


Hi everyone. i am a novice by every mean. i live in an area where power outtages happen frequently. how do i prevent this from affecting my system. are there any high grade UPS systems maybe, or do i need surge protector? is something at the breaker i should consider? I currently have two independent lines running to my audio centre, one for digital and one for analog, becuase they are dedicated lines, maybe there is a specific breaker that might be able to help? I would really like to consider a UPS to prevent my pre pro from resetting, but is there a UPS that is good enough quality to prevent any unwanted changes? Thanks for your time people.

You are basically going to need a 2400 VA single-branch circuit ups system with a battery bank, inverter/charger, wiring and control. The inverter should be a full sine wave type with a built-in transfer switch. This is for one 20-amp circuit only. Going with one more circuit would require a 4 or 5 kVa unit.

You may want to look at a company called Xantrex (www.xantrex.com) which sells quality inverters. Look under inverters/chargers. I have not dealt with them so I cannot offer any insight with respect to the cost. Try contacting them directly to set you up.
