Each Powertank model is microprocessor-controlled, maintenance-free,
and comes in beautiful and sturdy extruded aluminium casings. Unlike conventional
UPS (Uninterrupted Power System) units, Powertanks are designed to provide
hours of backup power for homes and offices, ensuring a blackout-proof environment!
Backed up by years of research and development work. The Powertank has hundreds
of satisfied users, including banks, the navy, clinics and households that
want to be blackout-proof.
How It works
The Powertank switches over automatically in the event of a power failure
or power restoration. Unlike standby generators, the Powertank produces a
clean, noise and emission-free output, providing comfort to end users. And,
unlike a computer UPS, the Powertank is designed to give you hours of supply,
allowing you to continue working, rather than just saving your work and twiddling
your thumbs in heat and darkness after that. Also, the output of the S-Series
pure sine wave Powertanks make it suitable for usage with more sensitive electrical
equipment

The Powertank: Not a Fuel Generator
Standby generators have always been used during blackouts. However, in the
case of continuous usage, the following problems arise:
- Standby generators need an auto kick-start as nobody may be tending to
it. This means a tertiary power supply is needed to feed the starting mechanism
of the generator. This is too expensive, and not practical.
- Generators need fuel storage and being highly inflammable, are extremely
dangerous.
- Generators are high maintenance devices. Being motors, they have high
wear and tear factor.
- The exhaust fumes from generators are potentially deadly, and have been
known to be lethal to occupants in an enclosed space.
Some Other Disadvantages of a Fuel Generator When Compared
to a Powertank:
-
The running cost of a generator is much higher than that
of a Powertank. It takes approximately 1 liter of fuel per hour to run a
1000 VA-rated generator. In comparison, the equivalent Powertank's running
cost is substancially less per hour of usage.
-
The generator emits carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and
sulfur dioxide. The Powertank is emission-free.
-
The Powertank is quiet compared to the noisy generator.
-
The Powertank switches automatically in the event of a
blackout, and recharges itself when supply is resumed. The generator needs
an external starting mechanism (sometimes, a person) and fuel needs to be
topped up all the time.
Output of the Powertank
Output of a typical computer UPS
The Powertank: Not a Computer UPS
- The computer UPS, usually rated between 180 VA - 600VA, is not designed
as a long-duration backup system. Instead, it is specifically made to give
you just enough time to save your files. The Powertank on the other hand not
only allows work to carry on for hours, but will also back up the lights and
fans at your workplace to ensure a comfortable working environment during
blackouts.
- The output of the computer UPS is usually not a sine wave. This means, should
you use it to back up sensitive equipment, it would damage the equipment that
was connected to it. For example, if a table fan was connected to the output
of a computer UPS, you will hear a whirring sound by the motor. This is due
to the high harmonics content of the computer UPS's output.
- The output of a pure sine wave Powertank contains very low harmonics, at
times lower than that of the incoming supply. Hence, you can be assured that
your equipment will not suffer any damage due to incoming supply.
