What he said. We live in the middle of nowhere, too, on the end of many
kilometers of overhead distribution. I bought a big UPS.


Which make (and maybe model if arsed you can be ?

Because it's a very good alternative to a generator - particularly as it
can be "always online".


I was considering a dedicated "generator radial circuit" with an
external input socket (male socket) and a few sockets in key places.

However, as our power failures are typically for no longer than a few
hours (1-2 normally and 6 max) I do wonder if a UPS might be a betetr idea.

Could have the CH, modem/network and fridge/freezer permanently on it.

Cheers!
