Hi All,
Thank you for this discussion as we are also looking for new UPS(s) for our
NMR and a new LC-MS. We had two UPS's for our two Bruker 500 MHz systems.
The newer one was a Staco UPS and never worked even after replacing the
batteries. It failed every single time there was a power outage. It also
failed any time we tried to do temperature experiments when the BCU kicked
on. The older one (approximately 30-40 years old) has never failed and
lasts for at least 30 minutes. That one was from Best Power, which sadly,
doesn't appear to be in business any longer.
As for the newer UPS that failed, my feeling is that it did not meet the
kVA requirements of the spectrometer (AVANCE II) but I really don't know
and it was purchased before I started working here. If someone could
comment on the kVA requirements for a Bruker 500 MHz w/ NEO console, I
would appreciate it.
The other variable is how long the UPS stays on after an outage. I live
close to work, so if the UPS stays on for >20-30 minutes I can rush in and
do a proper shutdown if there is an outage. So that's another
consideration.
Thanks for your feedback.
Mark
