[SOLVED] UPS recommendations for a 1300watt PSU and 2x3090 System

[noideahowtodothat]

Hi, I am a 3D artist living in Mexico. There is frequent powercuts here and I need a battery backup for 2 reason:

1. save my PC from being fried and corrupt files.
2. Run for a few minutes while the power comes back on and hopefully not interrupt renders.

Does a UPS exist that can support my system?

I want ideally something that can last an hour but I imagine this is industrial scale? maybe 30 mins will do then.

Any recommendations would be great. Bearing in mind Mexican market is limited.

thanks

You really need to measure your peak wattage. Mexico having 127 VAC the largest UPS you can probably get is a 2000VA unit. A large UPS is expensive.

thanks for your reply.

When rendering the PC is for sure using close to 1300 watts.
So would 2000VA be suitable? How much battery life time would that give me? 15 mins? thanks

It depends on how many supplemental battery packs you use.
Without measured usage, you are guessing.
Your best choice is to buy a used commercial UPS and buy new batteries.

could you possibly link me to a suitable UPS and compatible batteries?

I don't read Spanish so I can't easily access the Mexico page of APC.
