Kazekage Gaara Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hi guys, A friend of mine recently bought a Sony KLV-52W300A (thats a whooping 52" LCD TV ). He got the "Made in Japan" model imported from Dubai. Well, now the problem is he stays in Ulhasnagar, which gets hit by frequent UN*f**kING*EXPECTED power failures, and he's too afraid that it's gonna burn his TV or something So, now, he asked me to inquire about which UPS (@how much power, etc) would be sufficient for his LCD to keep running/working until he can get up from his seat to reach out for the power button and properly switch it off ? So guys...can you help me out with this ? Thanx a lot in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 1 kva should do it - although it might be overkill. I forget the exact price but I think APC is about 6.5-8k. My 26" LCD TV plus 4 other gadgets are hooked up to an APC 500VA and no issues. I essentially need it till the power backup of the building kicks in (anything from 2 secs to 30 - depends on the laziness of the guard). And I have a 650 va intek (less than Rs. 2k) on the 360 / 19" LCD monitor / speakers / modem. Again no issues till now. Suggest see the power rating of the TV and take a pick. And your friend could call up a company like Sukam to find out more about UPS and power backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmjow Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 A 52" LCD should take around 250-300W, and a 650VA UPS gives me 20 minutes on 110W ; so an APC 1000VA should be fine for 15 mins if my calculations are approx. right.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot-Drake-Pixel Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Rather than having a power back up, your friend should consider having a voltage stabilizer. Because power failure may not cause damage to the TV, but voltage spike will definitely do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmjow Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Dont the UPS also regulate the voltage?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
