UPS for Epson TW 3600 Projector

[orthopod]

Hi
My Ht set up is all ready & running, but haven't bought a UPS , which i believe is a must.
Which one should i buy, this is only for the projector

I'm using APC Back-UPS 1100 model (1.1 KVA) as stand alone UPS for my Optoma HD20LV projector. Cost me Rs.5300. So far no issues encountered. UPS takes over the load when there is sudden power cut while the projector is in operation.

I have used a smaller APC in the past which has worked for me.

George, can you share which model are you using?

I will be looking out for an ups for optoma hd20 just for backing it up for proper shutdown.

In my case, my inverter takes over the load without any issue. Don't really need a separate UPS.

I used a BackUPS 650 for my Panny AE 100 and it worked very well no problem at all. I now use a HUGE SmartUPS 3000VA online for my entire HT rig- prepro, amp, sub, media player, pj. It has enough back up time that allows me to continue watching for 15-20 mins or more even when power goes off!

Hi Orthopod,

You need to consider couple of things, before deciding on UPS.

1. Are you using or do you plan to use inverter?
2. Are you planning to use only the projector on the UPS?

If answer to Question 1 is yes, then make sure your inverter load is higher than UPS. This is because if you face power cut and your UPS load is greater than inverter, then your inverter wont be able to take the UPS load and will shutoff.

If you cannot avoid this, then one option, just make sure your UPS is on a separate phase line and not on the inverter line. So that in case of power cut, only your UPS will be active and the projector will last till UPS backup.

If you plan to use projector only on UPS, then make sure your UPS can take near about twice that load. I'd presume atleast 1 KV should be fine, most projectors output is near about 250-300W max.

Try to go for online UPS, they have better charging and offer better backup mechanism than offline ones. It will also give you a display about load information etc.

I've taken a 1 KV Champion UPS.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I will be going for option 2 (separate line for projector) for optoma HD20(308 Watts (Bright), 254 Watts (STD)

I am thinking about APC projector normally used for desktops.

APC BACK-UPS ES 700VA 230V INDIA

Will not this be sufficient?

 

[GeorgeO]

I think it should suffice. Remember it is not starting load that is needed when switching to UPS.
