Week 3 - Eye theater finished

Hello!

Three weeks have passed and things are finally starting to happen here. The first UPS-system is soon to be fully installed in the eye theater which is very pleasing to observe. The UPS in the eye theater is the smallest of the three systems which will be installed in this project. Few companies in Tanzania have good references in installations similar to our request, hence seeing the contracted company performing above expectation is relieving.

The eye theater has the following critical loads (rated) connected to the UPS:

• Lighting tubes                     288 W
• Energy server bulbes         54 W
• Microscope machine         40 W
• Operation lights                 300 W
• Anesthesia machine          280 W 
• Total load:                           962 W

Installed equipments:

• 1x Opti SP2400 24VDC Hybrid Inverter
• 2x Dayliff 195W 24VDC Solar module
• 2x Champion NP200-12 L sealed battery 200Ah, 12VDC
• 1x Steca PRS 20A charge controller

The system is also installed with a switch which makes it possible to have all loads bypassing the inverter. We figured it is best to have the system installed that way in case the inverter breaks. Better to be safe than sorry!
