UPS Recommendations for use with Aurora

Hi All,

I've presently got a 6600M connected to a West Mountain Radio Epic PWRgate which, with my pair of paralleled 23 amp Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 batteries, makes for a good UPS.

This obviously won't work with the Aurora I have on order. What is everyone planning for a UPS? i.e. What is a good UPS that won't introduce interference?

    I have my 6600 on a rack mount Astron power supply, which is powered through an APC 1500 VA sine wave UPS. I use that just to keep the 6600 from suffering damage that might be caused by a power outage, I would not actually operate the radio on the UPS during a power failure. As well, the UPS has a fair amount of surge protection built in to it.

    The specific APC unit I use is the BR1500MS2

    It causes no interference.

    I will try using this with the Aurora since it says it only draws about 700 watts and Flex says it will work well on a 120 volt circuit. Hopefully it will have a decent power factor so it will not overload the 1500 VA rating of the UPS

    However, I may also want to power the Aurora on my 240 volt circuit I now use for my amp.

    Time will tell how this works out.

    ,I plan on operating my 510 on a 240v that I used for my amp. I intend to ha ve both a 120v and a 240v power cord. That will facilitate portable operation.
