UPS or Genset?

deepakvrao · 15th July 2008, 09:17

Hi Guys,

I really have no idea about this but I want to have approximately 12-15 Kv backup in my house. Was thinking of going with an auto start genset and have only just started the research.

Someone suggested a high capacity UPS.

Any ideas on how each works out in the long term WRT initial purchase cost, diesel cost, battery replacement cost etc?

Would be really great to get any help here.

In my nursing home I have a 25Kva Kirloskar gen which has [touch wood] been trouble free completely. There its not auto start as I have a guy 24/7 to start it but at home I will need auto start.Some feedback was that auto start panels for small sets were not that reliable. True?
