I would like to congratulate my students for passing my subject. A total of 41 students successfully finished the Basic Electronics Course 1 held in Kagman High School. During the whole semester they learned how to use a UPS (uninterrupted power source) as their final project for the first semester. Together with my students and the support of other companies, the project was a success. My students are now capable of creating their own UPS that will last for about 4 to 5 hours, depending on the load. It can give power to a light bulb, electric fan, and television.
My students—Dion Diaz, Ken Palec, Derick Dela Cruz, and Nizelynn Masayos—would like to share with the public how they did it:
“The materials you need in order to have your own extended UPS are a UPS for backup power for a computer, a car battery, and wire connectors.
“A normal UPS will work for 15 to 25 minutes on one computer that has 3A. Replacing the UPS battery with a car battery that has 60A will last you 10 hours. This means you can also plug in a light and a fan. Let’s say the light has 1A and the fan has 2A. This means you will have 5 hours of power if you plug in a fan, a light and a computer. This basic electronic idea can help you have power when there’s a power outage.”
My class and I would like to thank Mr. Rey Camacho for his help and most especially Mr. Ada, our school principal, for his support.
Again, I would like to congratulate my students for passing the subject, Basic Electronics. May you continue to upgrade the knowledge I imparted to you. This is the first step toward your dreams. May you study hard on other subjects so that you would have a better future.
