I also have been very happy with the Alpha equipment. It may look pricey compared to a consumer grade UPS, but for the features and specs, it’s not as expensive as I thought it would be. Even without a huge discount.
After trying several other UPS solutions for AC sites always with some issues, the Alpha stuff just goes in and runs. Worst complaint I have is the 4 digit password. Oh, and the ability to adjust the max battery charging current through the web GUI saved my butt one time, very cool. Don’t always assume you can get the model you want off the shelf from a distributor, it may take a few weeks from the factory.

Having all the connectors on the front panel is a huge plus, they can be installed and wired up in wall mount racks or small outdoor cabinets that have no rear access.

Would be nice for some of our bigger sites with auto start generators.
