    UPS for Laser Recommendation

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a UPS for a 60 watt laser running on 220?

    APC makes a 220 volt 60hz UPS 1200 VA around $400.

    Thanks James! I'll check it out.

    For a 60W laser you probably need 2000 VA or more.
    2000 VA corresponds to 1400W : My 60W Epilog draws 1500W when vectoring on full power and overheats my UPS after about 10 minutes of cutting acrylic.

    Did you want it as a UPS, or for line conditioning?
    If for UPS, then you will need HUGE batteries to keep the laser going for more than a couple of minutes.

    My UPS is a Chinese job (no safety markings at all !!!!) which cost £200. The nearest equivalent with a recognisable brand name was around £850 at the time.

    For line conditioning you will need an always-on or dual conversion UPS - which is, of course, the more expensive sort.
