There is a 2 hour power cut everyday in my place and I need at least 1 hour of backup so that my work does not have a down time. I want to invest in a good UPS.

Quality and long life is a must. 1 hour backup for a PC with 520W PSU.

Can go for a 2 hour one if I can afford it.

Thanks.
 
APC 1.1KVA -- 4600

I dont think it can power your rig for even 1hr.
I think you'll get 30 min or less backup.

Which is good for saving your work and take nap for 1.5 hour :p

Mention your complete system specs.
 
For 1 hr or more back up time you need a UPS which can handle a high capacity battery.The cheapest one from APC is the SUA 1000UXI will cost around 11k or so just for the UPS and you need to buy a pair of batteries of around 40ah capacity each to get that kind of back up.

I am in Salem Tamil Nadu and asked a couple of local dealers. No one deals APC because there is no APC service centre in salem.

How about Numeric UPS. Is that good enough?
