Re: OT : Rather large APC UPS, what should i do with it ?

Hi Geraint

You need to establish a few things first!

Is it single phase or 3 phase input and output?
Note you can get 3 phase in and single phase out so you will need to
check both input and output!

The symmetra consists of a number of plug-in modules.
How many electronic modules are there?  and what Kva are the modules?
How many battery modules are there?
Also there 'should be 2 control modules?

The serial numbers will confirm the age of the units.  The first 4
digits will give the year and week of manufacture.
Can you check a few of the serial numbers to confirm the age of the
unit?

I might be interested in buying the UPS for stock - I run a UPS
business, but need to know more about it first.
Also where abouts in the country is it?

Regards
Andy
