If your business relies on computers, servers, point-of-sale systems, or any electronic equipment — and virtually every business does — then Uganda's unstable power supply is a direct threat to your operations, your data, and your bottom line.
The True Cost of Power Outages
Most business owners focus on the visible costs of a power outage: lost sales, idle staff, and spoiled stock. But the hidden costs can be even greater — corrupted databases, failed hardware, lost client data, and the hours spent recovering systems after an uncontrolled shutdown. For a medium-sized business, a single bad power event can cost UGX 5–50 million.
What is a UPS System?
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a device that provides immediate, clean power to connected equipment when the mains supply fails. Unlike a generator (which takes 10–30 seconds to start), an online UPS provides zero-transfer-time protection — your equipment never even knows the power went off.
What JSWAT Provides
JSWAT designs and installs complete IT power solutions including:
- Online Double-Conversion UPS — the highest level of protection for servers and sensitive equipment
- Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) — protect equipment from damaging voltage spikes and sags
- Generator Interface Panels — seamless changeover between UPS, solar, and generator
- Battery Management Systems — maximise battery lifespan and get early warning of battery issues
How Long Can a UPS Keep Your Systems Running?
Runtime depends on the UPS capacity and battery size. A well-designed system can keep a typical office network running for 2–4 hours, giving staff time to save work and shut down properly — or continue operating through a typical Ugandan load-shedding episode.
