UPS for NDIS High Physical Support Homes

Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) for NDIS High Physical Support Homes

UPS systems in high physical support homes are critical, designed to ensure that vital devices such as medical equipment, emergency doors, and communication systems continue to function during power outages.

NDIS Solutions

What are UPS Devices?

Uninterruptable power supplies are battery units, that are essential for safeguarding against power disruptions like failures, sags, brownouts, surges, spikes, and electrical noise. They play a crucial role in protecting equipment. Our NDIS UPS specifically supports life-saving equipment such as medical hoists, emergency doors, and lighting, ensuring that essential systems stay operational during power outages.

Why Choose PSS?

PSS Distributors has a range of UPS to suit NDIS home applications. UPS run times are all in line with NDIS specifications - 2 hours (120 minutes) at a specified load. All UPS can be customised to suit individual site-specific applications or run times. Below covers standard applications, if these are not suitable, please get in touch with our technical team.

How do I find the right UPS for my NDIS project?

To determine the type of UPS for your project, you will need to consider several factors, such as the equipment you need to support, the number of bedrooms, and any induction load. For peace of mind, our team can assist you with finding the right UPS for your needs. Contact our friendly team for more information.

Are you building a NDIS house?

A NDIS high physical support home is tailored for individuals with severe physical disabilities, equipped with essential assistive technologies and structural modifications for enhanced accessibility and safety.

The UPS systems in these homes are critical, designed to ensure that vital devices such as medical equipment, emergency doors, and communication systems continue to function during power outages.

Tailored for people with significant physical disabilities, these homes provide high levels of physical access, including wheelchair accessibility throughout, and modified fittings and appliances to enable independence.

The SDA Design Standards do not explicitly mandate the inclusion of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), integrating such systems can be crucial for enhancing safety and ensuring continuous operation of essential medical and assistive devices.

These homes offer enhanced durability and safety features to accommodate individuals with behaviours that might pose risks to themselves or others. Features include secure windows, soundproofing, and laminated glass to ensure both safety and minimal need for maintenance.

The SDA Design Standards do not explicitly mandate the inclusion of a UPS.

Designed for people with sensory, intellectual, or cognitive impairments, featuring elements like luminance contrasts and tactile components to aid navigation and interaction within the home.

The inclusion of a UPS is not mandated by the SDA in these homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which type of UPS should I use for my NDIS home?
The type of UPS you need depends on your load and the number of bedrooms. You can refer to the chart on the page for guidance. If you’re still unsure, get in touch with our team for assistance.
How do I find the right UPS without knowing the load?
Consider the equipment you need to support, the number of bedrooms, and any induction load. The chart provides quick guidance, or you can get in touch with our team if you need further help.
Can we use a generator instead of a UPS?
For high physical support homes, a UPS is essential to keep medical equipment, emergency doors, and communication systems running during outages. In other types of homes, a generator may be used if immediate backup power isn’t required and there are no noise restrictions.
Can we use battery banks for backup and charge them with solar panels?
In high physical support homes, a UPS is required to ensure vital devices remain operational during outages. In other home types, battery banks with solar charging may be suitable depending on requirements.
Where do I put the UPS in the NDIS home?
There are multiple storage and installation options. Placement simply needs to meet the ventilation and temperature requirements outlined in the datasheet to ensure optimal battery performance. If heat or space is an issue, we offer slimline UPS units, wall-mount options, and outdoor UPS solutions. For guidance on the best option, get in touch with our team.
Can I mount a UPS on a wall?
Yes—smaller UPS systems can be wall-mounted. Larger battery systems are not recommended for wall mounting. Some larger UPS units are freestanding only, while others can combine a wall-mount UPS with freestanding batteries.
Do the PSS NDIS System need to be a separate fire enclosure?
No. The building code requiring a separate fire enclosure applies to batteries “12 volts or more and with storage capacity of 200 kWh or more.” The PSS NDIS UPS range is well below this threshold, so no separate fire enclosure is required.
Is the PSS UPS NDIS approved?

No. NDIS does not approve specific UPS models—it only sets guidelines. For HPS homes, the NDIS requires a double GPO with two hours of backup power per participant.

UPS sizing depends on the participant’s equipment load, which can vary, so no single UPS can be pre-approved. As a guide, we recommend allowing 500W–2000W per participant. PSS provides several UPS options to meet the required two-hour runtime based on your chosen load allowance.
