...A 600VA UPS should do just fine and give you lots of time to do a controlled shutdown..

Yes, agree Dave, this is my ideal solution for here in Cornwall in the UK where we get quite a few outages over the winter, many for a few seconds to minutes, presumably as everything resets after a short in the high winds?Quote

Instead of going to the expense of a UPS, you could buy a 12V lead-acid utility battery and a battery charger suitable for leaving on constant float charge, then do away with the mains PSU altogether and run the Ormerod directly from the 12V lead-acid battery. In most places in the UK there is more risk of the invertor part of a small UPS failing than the grid mains failing, so using a UPS actually *increases* the risk of a power outage.
