[QUOTE="s-band, post: 980266, member: 407744"] I've had a 3kVA UPS on computers, phone stuff and some lights for a long time. The server shuts down gracefully when the batteries are exhausted and it gives me time to shut everything else down manually. The power here is via overhead lines through trees and we have lost it for a few days in the past. Since the lines were replaced it has been much better but we can lose power for minutes to an hour or 2 a few times/year. We also often get momentary drops during lightning storms. The UPS also irons out the messy mains from a generator and spikes on the mains line. So, yes, the UPS has helped a lot. [/QUOTE]
