Tension is incessant - do we need it?

In the units of Powercom we have now visited, we have been able to get acquainted with products of completely average capacity, but rather low prices. This average ability, of course, is not a weakness, as what can we expect from an uninterruptible unit beyond doing its job, possibly with appropriate and easy-to-use management software? Nothing, right?

Nor can we complain about the measurements, at least in the case of the smaller unit. The operating time specified by the manufacturer was 10-20 minutes, we measured 9 and a half minutes, which is close to the lower limit. Unfortunately, this was not true for the larger unit, as we measured significantly less, 50 minutes, compared to the 31 minutes specified by the manufacturer.

Now, of course, we can pull our mouths out, but let’s not do it, we’d rather accept that manufacturers are beautifying a little bit of this data one by one. In addition, it is suspected that the measurement under factory conditions was not exactly the same as our home measurement, not least because the data provided is valid with a 15-inch display.

So what is the final conclusion? The fact that in their own way both units are suitable for what they were intended for, that is, with their use we will be able to shut down our machine in time so that our data will not be damaged or lost. With the BNT-1000APU, you can even finish editing your document, and even print it out, then turn off your machine or leave the power to the uninterruptible power supply.

The BNT-400A is clearly a recommended device for home use. As described in the article, it also has a stronger sibling, the BNT-500A and the BNT-600A, so in case you don’t want more services just for more performance, then choose from these!

BNT-1000APU is another dough. As the article shows, the range of services has expanded considerably. Based on this, in addition to home use, we can also recommend this unit for small office tasks, as we can keep our materials absolutely safe with a much longer operating time and USB management, but it can also be suitable for 15-20 minutes power outages. in which case we should not stop working, but work calmly, write and continue printing as if nothing had happened.

Powercom uninterruptible power supplies are available at Kelly-Tech Ltd.We got it for testing from, thank you!
