Re: [AFMUG] 3,000 Watt 120 volt UPS for external batteries only...

I've had things reboot when on the AIMS inverter/charger.  I suspect 
it's related to detecting when to switch between charging & inverting.  
If I just flip the breaker off, everything goes onto battery and there's 
no issue.  When power flickers during a storm, then we have things reboot.


It's very cost effective.  Just have to be ok with that caveat.  I think 
in the future I'll do a separate inverter & charger.

Many of the solar vendors which do charge controllers also do 
inverter/chargers which include both the charging and inverter 
function in one box.  They're designed to run from shore/generator 
power in RV and off-grid applications, so the inverter is going to be 
pretty much designed for continous duty.   Some are way expensive, 
some are less so.


If you want a real ups instead of an inverter, then I'm not sure where 
you send you.

I have the Aims 48v 2000watt are backup power for my house. It has all of
LED lighting, home network gear, desktop, tv, server and refrigerator
connected. When it switches from bypass(grid) to inverter it is fast enough
that the desktop and server stay online. One of the reasons I picked the
Aims was it's high surge rating so it has no problem when a motor starts
up(like a  refrigerator). I did test a 20amp(120v) table saw and it manage
to power it up and rip a board.
