SUA1000I too hot - Add a fan?

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-29

Hi everybody,

One my friend gave to me an APC SUA1000I for free, so I bought a couple of new batteries and installed by myself. All was fine until this days that are very very hot.
In the room I have about 32°C so is probably that the ups internally arrive to 40°C so he shuttdown by himself.

I want to install a fan that in this model is not present but I can't find a plave where connect them. I'm thinking to connect at the same place of the SUA1500I but I can't find any photo that show the motherboard of this UPS.

Is possible do that?
If Yes, how?

Best regards
Fabio

yes u can installed a fan on same place as 1500va.but that fan have no proper fitting,just u paste or hang it through double side type.(that is used in auto spare parts) .also u paste it through glue gun sticks. and fan power connected at main capacitor which is mention at the main board.
respectively +ve and -Ve.
keep in mind fan have 2'' inch in size and 24v and throw Air in side. (fan rotation)

APC cannot recommend anything of course but does anyone else have any suggestions?
