IPS for Computer Lab and Coding Center Bangladesh — Multi-Computer Backup Solution 2026
Reliable Power Backup for Your Computer Lab
Computer labs and coding centers in Bangladesh face constant power interruptions. Every hour of downtime means lost productivity, interrupted classes, and frustrated students. A proper IPS for computer lab ensures your systems stay running during load shedding.
Why Computer Labs Need Reliable IPS Backup
Unlike residential homes, computer labs run 20-50+ systems simultaneously. Each computer draws 150-300W, meaning a typical lab needs 5-15kVA of continuous backup power. Without reliable IPS backup:
- Unsaved work gets lost during sudden power cuts
- Hard drives can suffer damage from improper shutdowns
- Internet routers and switches need constant power for online exams
- Coding instructors waste valuable class time on power management
Calculating IPS Capacity for Your Computer Lab
Before choosing an IPS system, calculate your total load:
| Equipment | Qty | Power Each (W) | Total (W) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop Computer + Monitor | 30 | 250W | 7,500W |
| Projector/Smart Board | 2 | 300W | 600W |
| Networking Equipment (Routers, Switches) | 5 | 50W | 250W |
| Air Conditioner (if applicable) | 2 | 1,200W | 2,400W |
| Lighting & Fans | – | – | 500W |
| Total Estimated Load | – | – | ~11,250W |
For a 11.25kW load, you need a 12-15kVA IPS system with sufficient battery capacity for at least 2-4 hours of backup during peak usage.

Installation Tips for Computer Lab IPS Systems
- Location: Install IPS in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Ventilation: Ensure 30cm clearance around the unit for proper heat dissipation.
- Professional wiring: Use qualified electricians for high-capacity IPS installations.
- Surge protection: Install surge protectors between grid input and IPS system.
- Regular maintenance: Check battery terminals quarterly and clean corrosion buildup.
- Grounding: Proper earth grounding is essential for computer lab safety.
Cost Considerations for Computer Lab IPS in Bangladesh
Investing in a proper IPS system for your computer lab pays off quickly:
- 8kWh system: Approximately BDT 2,50,000-3,50,000
- 16kWh system: Approximately BDT 5,00,000-6,50,000
- ROI: Reduced downtime = increased student throughput and satisfaction
Compared to diesel generators, IPS systems have lower operating costs (BDT 0/kWh vs BDT 25-30/liter for diesel) and require minimal maintenance.
FAQ — IPS for Computer Labs
How many computers can a 10kVA IPS power?
A 10kVA IPS with proper LiFePO4 batteries can power approximately 20-25 standard desktop computers (150-300W each) for 1-2 hours, depending on battery capacity and usage patterns.
Is LiFePO4 better than tubular battery for computer labs?
Yes. LiFePO4 batteries provide stable voltage output throughout discharge, charge 3x faster, last 6000+ cycles vs 1000-1500 for tubular, and require zero maintenance — critical for lab environments.
Can I connect solar panels to my computer lab IPS?
Absolutely. HiTHIUM systems support MPPT solar charging. A 2kW solar array can significantly reduce grid dependency and operating costs during daytime classes.
How long does a 8kWh IPS backup last in a computer lab?
With 20 computers drawing ~5kW total, an 8kWh system provides approximately 1-1.5 hours of full-load backup. Reducing to essential computers extends runtime to 2-3 hours.
What warranty comes with HiTHIUM computer lab IPS systems?
HiTHIUM offers 3-5 year warranties on their IPS systems and LiFePO4 batteries, with service support across Bangladesh including Dhaka, Chittagong, and Rajshahi.
