Electrical rules and plugs in Hong Kong

Hong Kong's Electrical Products (Safety) Regulation says adaptors shall generally be to BS 1363 or BS 546 to match the local socket system, so check the plug on any imported unit. Products bought outside Hong Kong or as parallel imports may not be compatible with the local supply. For network equipment in buildings, the Code of Practice for the Provision of Backup Power Supply expects at least one hour of endurance, which matters for routers and office servers.

Season and how long you need power

November falls between the hot summer from June to August, when air conditioning runs hard and the load on power equipment rises, and the cooler winter from December to February. Work out the load in watts for your equipment and the runtime you need. A UPS sized for a desktop will not keep an office server running for long, so choose the battery size from that calculation.

Delivery, units and what to write

Give the load in watts (W) or volt-amperes (VA), the runtime in minutes or hours, and the number of outlets you need. For portable power stations, state the battery capacity in watt-hours (Wh). CLP's supply rules say the capacity of a UPS should follow the customer's own requirements, so size it from your equipment. Ask for delivery to Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun, and say whether you need installation, since listings we found do not show it.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe what you need to keep running in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo of the equipment. BlaBlaPrice asks for missing details, checks sellers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong, and shows you the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. Start with a request, read how it works, or browse UPS units.
