Not enough pennies in the piggy bank for another 10k UPS. The UPS is only needed to bridge the time-gap until the generator kicks in (less than 30 seconds). The generator runs on natural gas so it should keep going short of a mechanical failure. As it is, the system should work and has worked. At this time it is more about figuring out what is different (if anything) about the power outages where the system fails vs. these tests we're performing where things are happening in a very controlled environment. Perhaps the system does not work well when power "sputters" it's way back on.
