What size UPS do I need?

Add up the wattage of all devices you want to connect. As a guideline, multiply the total wattage by 1.6 to get the minimum Volt-Amp (VA) rating your UPS should have. A qualified electrician on Kandua can do this calculation for you accurately.

What is the difference between a UPS and an inverter?

UPS units also have built-in, high-quality surge protection. A UPS provides instantaneous power with zero switch-over time, which is vital for sensitive electronics like PCs. Most inverters have a slight delay that can cause computers to reboot, and this is especially relevant for Centurion residents.

Can I install a hardwired UPS myself?

No. In South Africa, any work on your home's fixed electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician who can issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC). A DIY installation is illegal, unsafe, and voids insurance. It's always worth getting a professional assessment for your specific needs.

How often do UPS batteries need to be replaced in Centurion?

This depends on usage, ambient temperature, and the quality of the battery. Typically every 3 to 5 years.

Can I plug a multi-plug into my UPS?

It's not recommended. For best performance and safety, plug critical devices directly into the UPS. Overloading a multi-plug can cause the UPS to trip or fail.
