Preparing for a power cut

Every company has different requirements  for power protection. Here are some examples of the options available.

A UPS with 5-10 minutes backup time will simply provide enough time for a warning, and an automatic shut down

A UPS with a 30 minute backup time will provide enough time to give warnings, plus the shut down of more complex databases, and operating systems

A UPS with a 2 hour backup time may give some users time to complete work, or for multi site and international organisations, sufficient time to broadcast broadcast, and sever links.

If the requirements are above 2 hours, then consider having a standby generator in combination with a short run-time UPS

The exception to this is where the load is small, for example telephone systems. In which case, simply add more batteries.
