How to organize uninterrupted operation of network equipment in a private house?

Question

Electronics

Good afternoon.
There are:
1) private house
2) MikroTik hAP AC router + switch
3) frequent power outages, especially in summer
How to organize uninterrupted operation of this equipment (for ~ 5 hours) in conditions of frequent power outages? It would be nice to choose a solution with a margin for the future.
The first thing that comes to mind is a car battery + car inverter for 220. But I'm not sure this will work (+ in this option, the power must be switched manually), because I am completely incompetent in these matters.

Answer 1

What kind of switch do you have.
Mikrotik itself allows you to connect 12 volt power directly without a 12-220 inverter, switches can often do this too. Or it will be easier to assemble a simple voltage stabilizer to the power you need. Thus, you will not spend anything on conversions. but here the question is about switching the whole thing from the outlet to the uninterruptible power supply and vice versa. Or you need to buy a separate inverter.
So the option with an uninterruptible power supply is probably the most adequate.

Answer 2

5-10 hours = it is better to immediately think about autonomous power supply (solar panels, wind turbines, etc.)

Answer 3

Power consumption of hAP AC 17W. This is the maximum according to the documentation, the real one needs to be measured. but I think it will be within 10W. Which switch is not clear, look for consumption for it. Count how many Ah you need to work "5-10 hours" and select the battery according to the results.
Homemade should come out much cheaper. But it may be easier to take a ready-made UPS with a large battery. You don't have to fence the system for charging these batteries and switching to a reserve.
There is a choice. You can take simple models and connect a battery (links are just an example) of the appropriate capacity, or take ready-made models.
Here is an example link from APC with the estimated duration of workwww.apc.com/products/runtime_for_extendedruntime.c...
The first option seems to me the most optimal.

Answer 4

Look towards BIRP and its analogues. (UPS for security and fire systems and video surveillance).
Unlike classic UPSs, the 12-220-12 conversion disappears, which significantly reduces losses and increases the service life. Well, you select the number and capacity of the battery according to the reserve time.

Answer 5

And you can, in addition to V.S., build a DC12V network at home, so as not to drive excess energy to convert DC 12 V from AC 220 V. Ultimately, almost all of your home appliances are connected to a secondary power supply from 12V, which can then go to 5V, 3V, etc.
