A UPS or uninterruptible power supply acts as a power-backup device for all the connected appliances in case the main supply fails. It employs a rectifier-battery-inverter setup which stores energy when the supply is available and feeds it during power cuts and blackouts. A UPS protects the connected gadgets from switching-off suddenly, thereby preventing data or functional loss of appliances. Costa power is renowned ups dealers for all global brands available in market.

What is a used UPS?

As the name suggests, used UPSs are generally devices that have been refurbished to serve a second life. In the case of certified ones, the battery and other electronic equipment included generally have a considerably long life. When users upgrade their installed capacity, they are required to switch their current UPS with a higher rating one and thus the existing UPS is sent out of commission well within their working lifetime. Such UPSs become used UPS. Costa power offers very cost effective solution in used ups in Mumbai, India.

How do UPSs work?

Their working is the same as any other standard UPS. It keeps its battery charged at all times by drawing power from the mains through a rectifier system. When the supply power fails, the battery sends its stored energy to the connected appliances to keep them running temporarily, giving users the buffer time to save data and properly shut down the apparatus or run the connected appliances until main supply resumes.

in Mumbai as well as across india.

What all to check before buying a UPS?

• Price: The price of the UPS will vary depending on the use that the device has seen. If it is still within its warranty period, the cost might be near to its original price..
• Power rating: The output required cannot exceed the power the UPS is designed to supply. So, check the installed appliances.

Features of a Costa UPS

• Economical and cost-effective as compared to other UPSs.
• When within its warranty period, works exactly the same as any new device..
• When purchased from certified dealers as Costa Power, they come with full customer support.

Applications of used UPSs

1. Perfect for home or office appliances which need backup power
2. Can be used at data centers when there is a revenue crunch initially.
3. To provide backup to digital display boards and televisions.

Can be utilized as an alternate source of power in industries for shorter durations.

when the power goes out the UPS will not try to save you if you are pulling a shit ton (va does not equal watts) of load.

Sorry for late reply but this is what I was worried about since I am pretty sure they are using way more than 1kw since it is 3d rendering and I was wondering of modern UPS systems can handle + watt workstations. I am aware VA does not equal watts (mine for instance is rated for VA / 900w) but if the watt rating is high enough I would assume it would work as intended.

Though it is better a UPS just shut down rather than try to burn down a house so I guess there is that. Oh and for those of you asking why I am specifically requesting NEMA 5-15P its because there are no practical 240v outlets for my friend to use in their house and they are not inclined to mess with electricity as their house is quite old (lots of 2 prongs no ground). Though their PC outlet does actually have a three prong 120v ground wire (properly grounded I did test just in case.) I have seen 240v to 120v adapters and there apparently was a UPS listing that has a 240v plug but the listing claiming it would come with a 120v adapter plug but I'm pretty sure there can be dangers in doing that. Listing if you are curious what I am talking about:

This is also excluding the other high power peripherals they are using but Ive basically told them to consider a UPS exclusively for their PC and every other peripheral on a different UPS since their monitor alone is around 50w. Its a bit inconvinent but it is what it is (and low watt UPS's can be relativly cheap). So far it seems the worst their PC can do is likely somewhere near to watts. Granted they don't do overclocking so its more "theoretically" around watts (two tis can to go 500w each not overclocked and x is around 120w but can get to 240w or more overclocked).

I haven't found a watt rated UPS but I did find a VA one that is somehow rated for watts here:

Oh and thank you everyone else for helping out despite this rather unexpected predicament. Granted my friend has clearly been fine without a UPS for god knows how long and they are good about saving their work so this is not exactly an emergency when compared to the fact their electrical wiring should probably be updated (granted that house does have some proper grounded three prong plugs probably from a past rennovation so its not that important and they could cheaply replace the two prongs with GFCI outlets in accordance to NEC rules to reduce electrical shock risk).

Would this be fine and are there better alternatives? The listed runtime on this one at watts says it lasts 4.7 minutes which is plenty to stop, save, and shutdown when doing 3d render work. Yes its pricy at $610 but its the best option Ive found at a high wattage rating and a somewhat tolerable price other than the strange VA one my friend found.Oh and thank you everyone else for helping out despite this rather unexpected predicament.
