uninteruped power for the home.?
Where i live i have a lot of power cuts, this would not be a problem but i have a collection of snakes. Snakes need heat and if the power is off for a while say when on holiday, then my snakes would die. I need a ups system, a small petrol or diesel generator with the ups system. The problem is the only ups generators i can find are all industral like 3000kw! i have seen battery systems but only good for computers.
thanks
i use a few lorry batterys and a good solar panel, cheap as chips

Building fire pump selection?
I’m overseeing a building refit and we’ll need to install a fire pump. Most are recommending an electric pump, but that implies a much larger electric generator (100 kVA more). Also, we hadn’t planned a generator in this first phase of the project.
Can anyone tell me what my other options are?? What about a diesel pump? Or a small temporary generator for phase I until the other phases are complete?
A 500 GPM, 100 psi pump will pull 55 horsepower and can be electric or Diesel. That flow will operate two standard 2 1/2" fire hoses. If you need the pump for a sprinkler system, that is another matter.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Underwriters Labs. (UL) have fire protection criteria and standards for certification of special purpose fire pumps. Also check with your insurance carrier.
I suppose that you do have a source of water adequate to pump 500 GPM for an hour.

How to safely connect a power backup generator to your home
The safest way to connect a generator to your home involves a transfer switch with an interlock mechanism to prevent backfeeding into your main panel. Backfeeding could potentially cause a line worker series injury or even death. So don’t do it! When it comes to wiring up a generator don’t cut corners….do it the right way by hiring a professional to wire up a transfer switch that’s compatible with your generator. I use a Briggs and Stratton standby generator that uses a GFCI outlet which requires a transfer switch that isolates the neutral between the generator and the main supply panel.
