Hi all.
I'm looking for a SMALL UPS.
It must output 230v, but be as small as possible.
The connected load is only 15-20W.
I want to add UPS's to the TV distribution amplifiers at the local village, cos if a house is vacated or is being renovated, the main power is switched off - which kills the distribution amplifier, and dozens of houses loose their TV service.
Ironically, following the 2016 lightning strike that destroyed the old system, the new system uses Televes launch amps out in the field, and they are excellent, with slope adjust and equalizing etc - way better at maintaining a stable TV system then the old amps that got blown to bits, but the old Kingray amps did have the advantage that they used DC power supplies, whereas the Televes ones are mains powered, so I need a mains-power backup solution - but it has to be as small as possible.
Anyone got any ideas or links?
As I say, the load is tiny - 20W or so, so something as small as possible, should be viable, where it would not be if the UPS had to have more grunt.
