I want to put a small UPS inside of my wiring enclosure to provide power to a small LAN switch, the Elk ethernet module, a couple of Brultech ECM-1240's, and maybe a few future items. The only thing I've found that will work (i.e., fit) is the Tripplite AV550SC. Problem with that UPS is the battery is not user-replaceable. That means $150+ every time the battery goes out. I have a standby genset, so unless it fails during a POCO outage, unscheduled power outages only last about 30 seconds. That means the UPS doesn't need to be very "big" -- 350VA would probably be plenty. The enclosure will be recessed in a wall. My attic gets too hot to put a UPS in it.
Any other suggestions that accomplish the same goal? To be honest, I don't even need the surge suppression capability in the UPS. I'm having a whole house suppressor installed soon, and I was planning on using the Leviton suppressor/outlet to provide power at the bottom of the enclosure.
Thanks,
Ira
