Oooooooh! You got SIX of them! Can I insert the plug into the receptacle?

*mind blown*

Six modules, looks like 2 UPS, 4 Battery expansion, 2 PDUs and the rack.

 

[bigboxes]

lol no, my brother's pick up plus my minivan. I figure the ups go in minivan, racks in pickup.

Makes sense.

 

[bigboxes]

What UPS are these replacing?

What UPS are these replacing?

Two 120v 1KVA ups with dead batteries. Would cost me C$120 to replace the batteries.

 

[sdifox]

I think I just need the main unit, rest are spare.

How much kVA does this main unit provide? What is your runtime for all your equipment?

Just got back from a long walk. I'm out of shape. I started it off with a run around the track and had to stop half way. Too much poutine. Need to quit that stuff man. A few years ago I could run the track in a bit under a minute. Challenged two of my nephews for a race and won .

After that run I went to walk around 10 or so km. Hard to tell as I did not measure but I think with the markings on the trail and such it came up to around 10km if I add it up.

Pooped right out now. Today was my workout day... think I'll count that as my workout. I need to do more cardio though.

 

[Red Squirrel]

To be fair the only thing I had to eat today was a piece of tortiere. Time to make something for supper now.

The new one is 240v 6kva, assuming the battery packs are the same, that would make 30kva for each set.

 

[sdifox]

Fuck these things are heavy. I am totally exhusted. My brother help me load to truck/minivan, then when I got home I took out battery packs one at a time then move chasis to garage, then assemble again.

 

[sdifox]

The racks weren't too bad with two people.

 

[sdifox]

Need to do stepdown to feed smaller things

 

[sdifox]

Server should be able to take 240 direct.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Don't forget to flip the switch on the back of the PSU lol.

Oddly enough main unit doesn't have one. The battery module has a breaker.

Oh you mean the server? Should be autosensing.

 

[sdifox]

Yeap, just checked online. nothing to flip.

This might work too: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Powertrain-...064138?hash=item4d46e7960a:g:-uIAAMXQs6FRTxvM

Set in 480 to 240 config and it will basically do 240 to 120.

That $800+ shipping though.

There might be other options though just found that one real quick.

I can get an eaton matching one (open box) for us300

 

[sdifox]

but I may not need a big one since it just cable modem and external hdds

 

[sdifox]

so maybe just get a boxed 2kva stepdown and call it a day

 

[sdifox]

yeah my baystack 5520 takes 240 as well, so it is just the cable modem, voip box and external hdds

 

[sdifox]

time to check the wallwarts, maybe I'll just get a 240v input 12vdc output transformer, easier to just wire each external hdd to one central power anyway.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Kinda a hack, but you could try to get a 120v pure sine inverter and have it run straight off the battery bank of the UPS. Assuming it's true dual conversion that should work. Probably uses 48v. Actually since these take external battery packs it might just be the thing of getting the proper connector for it and then wiring the inverter straight in the end of the daisy chain.

err, no I am not messing with something that dangerous lol. this thing checks battery status daily
