Using an DCAC Power Inverter Charger as a Home UPS

Hi, I am looking to setup a Home UPS for my sump pump, alarm system and emergency lights. Can you please
advise which DC to AC Power Inverter I should use with a 3/4 horse power sump pump, my 1.4 amp alarm system
and 8 100 watt lights? Thanks Terry

If you are looking to setup a Home UPS using a 12 Volt DC to 110 Volt AC Power Inverter you will probably
want to take a look at a Power Inverter with built in battery charger and automatic transfer switch. For the
devices described you will require a 3000 watt continuous Power Inverter. The Royal Power PIC-3000 3000 Watt
12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC Power Inverter with built in 20 amp charger and 20 amp automatic transfer switch
should complete your home UPS system perfectly. The next set in setting up the home UPS is calculate the
amount of time that home utility power is regularly lost per day or per week. After estimating the power
loss time you can then setup your battery bank to connect to your DC to AC Power Inverter. This particular
type of power inverter is made to used on a 24 hour 7 days a week type application. The Power Inverter
remains on the devices that the user wants to always have power are left plugged into the AC outlets. The AC
outlets will be powered by the houses utility 120 volt current when available and by the 12 Volt DC current
during outages. Remember the DC 12 Voltage current will be limited based on the amount of amp hours in your
battery bank and the charge level of the battery bank. The voltage levels can be monitored on the front
display of the Power Inverter, most 12 volt dc to ac power inverters will shutdown at 10.5 DC Volts.
Therefore when setting up your car truck batteries or marine deep cycle batteries it is very important to
proper calculate the amp per hour to know if the charger will also be able to keep up with the load demand.
A standard car or truck battery will usually be rated at 100 amp hours, you can check the these levels on
the power rating label found on your battery.
