Industry Profile
and Market Assessment
The UPS of large capacity for
Industrial uses are manufactured by large licensed
units. The smaller capacity Systems are manufactured
in Small scale sector. The licensed capacity of individual
unit varies from 500 to 1100 nos per annum. Due to
chronic power shortage in almost every State and the
growth of industry, this product has ample scope.
Both the larger capacity UPS and the smaller ones
needed mainly in computer sector has a good growth
potential. The computer industry is a high growth
industry and under the present operating systems every
PC requires an uninterrupted power supply for smooth
functioning of the computer. A small unit with a manufacturing
capacity of 100 units per annum can easily fit in
the system.
Manufacturing
Process & Know How
It consists
of Power supply circuit, highly stable regulated output
voltage short circuit protection facility, DC power
generator or battery backup, Inverter circuits, Ripple
and noise suppression circuits. DC power is inverted
and AC output is regulated well. Control circuits
are provided to switch over to this supply immediately
when there is a power failure.
This
is manufactured like any other Power Supply except
that the regulation and control circuits have to be
doubly checked before final assembly, testing and
packing. All kinds of tests like Temperature, Humidity
etc. have to be conducted along with the normal tests
for its different parameters.
A good
quality transformer and inductance winding facility
is required. Indigenous Technology is well updated.
There is no restriction on foreign know how. Normal
requirement is in the range of 10 to 50 KVA . However
there is also demand for the smaller versions mainly
from the computer users. For the purpose of calculation
10 KVA unit at a selling price of Rs. 1.5 lakhs is
taken. A sale of 100 units per annum is estimated
for a typical manufacturer.
Plant
and Machinery
The major plant and machinery
involved in the operation include Oscilloscopes, bridges,
Digital multimeters, power supplies, signal generators,
pulse generators, automatic testing systems, modular
design system, soldering iron, Presses, punches, drilling
machine, winding machine, Testing set up. The total
cost of machinery is estimated to be approximately
Rs 100 lakhs.
Raw material and Components
The major components involved
are coils, transformers, transistors, integrated circuits,
capacitors, microprocessors, cabinets, panels, DC
power generators etc. The total cost of raw material
and components is estimated to be approximately Rs.
60 lakhs.
Land and Building:
The project requires a built up
area of 300 sq.mts. and the open land area of 900
sq.mts. The total cost of building is estimated to
be approximately Rs. 10 lakhs. The cost of land will
vary from place to place.
Manpower
For smooth functioning of the
unit the requirement of man power is expected
to be as follows:
| Supervisors |
2 nos |
| Office staff |
3 nos |
| Skilled workers |
5 nos |
| Unskilled workers |
10 nos |
| Salesmen/Technicians |
3 nos. |
The total salary bill annually will be Rs. 7.20 lakhs.
