RE: Backup power supplies

Ed,
I worked at a manufacturing company that had a backup generator.  We had a
UPS in place that would takeover for the time it took for the generator to
get up and going.  Of course only the things on that UPS had no problems
when the power switched.  Any terminal that was signed on would vary itself
off and then would have to be reset.  The company would switch to generator
backup at peak demand times when the weather was extremely hot or extremely
cold.  The comapny was able to negotiate better power rates by agreeing to
this arrangment.  The only problem we actually had was the one I mentioned
about things getting varies off.
