[BC] Cyberpower brand UPS

[tpt at literock93r.com]

With a back-up geni, all I really need is about a minute of back-up  
(as well as a quick switch-over so computers and other micro-processor  
controlled devices don't dump).

When we built the station, the studios, office, and single-phase  
Harris 2.5K were all in one building, fed off of a single phase 200  
amp panel. Didn't get a computer  (single IBM PC) until three years  
after we signed on; we had an Autogram console, 8100 Optimod, and used  
music from reel-to-reel.

25 years later we have a Harris 10K three phase transmitter and a  
three-phase electrical plant.  Ten computers, two Auditronics  
consoles, four satellite receivers, two Omnia's, and an Armstrong  
exciter all need some kind "float" capability--and they are all in  
different locations.  Hence the collection of battery-powered canaries.

As long as the UPS switches back once the generator is up and on-line  
I'm happy.
As I mentioned, my motley collection of APC devices seem to do the  
trick.  Would be a bit too expensive--and complicated, to wire  
everything into one big UPS. Had enough of an electrician's nightmare  
separating out and moving the circuits we needed to back-up into a  
separate sub-panel fed off the transfer switch.
