I need a voltage stabilizer/regulator and battery backup for our live portable sound setup.
Reason: I go to multiple venues, where the power and voltage situation can vary wildly.
My setup:
(Can you guys please advice me)?
Reason: I go to multiple venues, where the power and voltage situation can vary wildly.
My setup:
- QSC active speakers
- Digital mixer, DI boxes, wireless microphone receivers
- Headphone amplifier units, passive speaker amplifiers
- Musical instruments (keyboards, guitars, etc.)
- Furman PL-8C Power Conditioner
- Wifi routers, access points
- 4-5 Laptops, Dell Projector
- Voltage stabilizer (Static IGBT PWM based):
- To setup up/down the voltage during consistent under voltage and over voltage situations.
- To protect my precious equipment during wild voltage fluctuations.
- Servo/relay based is out of the question. I already have those. The voltage correction speed is very less, my equipment has already gotten damaged.
- UPS Battery Backup:
- To continue to deliver power supply when there is power outage.
- To continue to deliver power supply when the voltage stabilizer cuts-off outside 175-275V range.
- Capacity:
- Battery: 150 Ah approx
- UPS: 5 to 7.5 kva approx
(Can you guys please advice me)?
- Option 1) Line-interactive UPS allegedly provides both of the above. Can anyone suggest brands/models/products which provides voltage stabilizing capability?
- Option 2) Online UPS provides complete power and voltage protection due to double conversion. However, since the battery and inverter are always on. I want to know it's life, maintenance cost, servicing cost of owning Online UPS (5 kva, 150 Ah battery).
- Option 3) Offline/Standby UPS is cheaper. However, there is a lag to switch to battery. Can somebody advice me if the lag is acceptable for live digital audio equipment?
- Option 4) Anything else that I have not not considered? All kinds of suggestions are welcome.
