I see, it's good to hear that off-the-shelf generators have that functionality nowadays. Is there a point where your primary and secondary power sources are connected to an auto-transfer switch? Or do the UPSes just stall enough time for you so that you can shut down everything, then manually switch from primary power source input to generator input, before you reboot everything?
This relates back to @rleplae's initial question: I think that capacity and redundancy is overrated. I would rather the worst backup uptime for a single hardware component be only 3 minutes and have a <5 millisecond failover time, than have 24 hours of backup power but the failover time is anywhere from 10 seconds to several minutes (network re-negotiation takes a while even in a home with a Comcast gateway).
Ecuador appears to be an IAEA member state as well, so perhaps you could install a homebrew nuclear reactor to supply a permanent, single-phase power source.
I recommend "eaton ellipse pro", u have to choose your power...
the "sell support" is very efficient, in France.
In usa, if it exists...

I am looking to buy UPS. I just would like to protect my Desktop Computers from any power surge. I have 2 desktop computers, 4 monitors, router and a modem.
How do I calculate the requirement? Appreciate any recommendations. I am leaning towards Cyber power based on the posts in the thread but not sure which one.
I am considering buying UPS as we started to have some blackouts (summer time - too many air cons on).
Blackouts time vary - so I think of having e.g. 2 units (one from PC and other devices are always connected and another one on the side, being charged "just in case").
Then if one shows that its time is running out, can I then plug it in to another, already charged unit?
Would this allow me to double the time of backing up?
