Hello,
I have been asked by a customer to provide a backup power supply for his roller shutter doors that protect his property. The motors that supply the shutter doors are a maximum 600W 230V AC (2.6A or 600VA)
I have never been asked to provide a UPS for anything motor related.
The need of UPS is in case of a power cut to the property so the client can still gain access without mains power. There are a total of 14 roller shutters and I would specify a single UPS per roller shutter motor.
Would a 1300VA UPS be suitable to run a single 600W single phase AC motor for about 30-45 seconds just enough to gain access to the property?
I ran the shutters several times and my meter recorded 2.56A maximum.
I have used many UPS systems on PC's but I'm just not sure if there is any difference when using them on single phase motors.
You help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Midge
