UPS

I've read some that says cheaper UPS will have trouble with APFC PSU, then some again that says modern UPS/PSU should have no trouble with the type of sine wave. I've also read from some that the only ones that care for pure sine waves are motors. There's also some that says there are just some...

Greetings! My new home and local neighborhood has been expericing brown outs every few weeks. The power for my whole home will flicker off /on for a few seconds. It's not a big deal but the fleetingly temporary brown out is enough to power cycle my Linux PC and interrupt my workflow So in the...

I just put together a new gaming PC with a Corsair HX1000i PSU that is hooked up to my APC Back-UPS BR1500G-IN UPS. As long as the UPS is simply transferring power from the wall (it's line-interactive), or when the PSU is plugged into the wall directly, it is fine. But whenever the mains power...

My number one priority is protecting my PC outages or surges, i dont really care about how much more time a UPS can give me when a power outage occurs. Will something like APC - Back-UPS 650VA, 230V or APC - Back-UPS 850VA, 230V do the job? im trying to budget here so the cheaper the better. I...

Hello, Im having a issue where only my PC is shutting down during a power outage even though it's connected to a UPS. I'm using the same UPS on multiple 3d printers that consume more power than my PC is idle. Ive lost a lot of work due to this issue. This is my UPS model...

I have an air conditioner that periodically makes a clicking noise that causes my monitor to lose its image for a second (this also causes the light in my room to flicker for a sec). I'm not concerned about my monitor as much as I am concerned about my PC. the PC seems to be utterly unaffected...

When the electricity gets turned off (for whatever reason) the UPS's battery activates, but besides making the 'normal' beeping noise that signals that the battery is in use the UPS also makes this static-y noise. Try connecting a power cable to your PC except don't plug it in fully, you get...

Every time I plug my ups and then try to boot up my pc, it just stops working and shows the VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. Now this happens only when I plug my pc into the ups but if I totally unplug the ups and then boot up it works totally fine. So, Im trying to figure out does this have anything to do...

I've had this issue previously except I didn't have a UPS, but now I do and this still happens, albeit not as often. The monitor and PC are both connected directly to the ups. The UPS is connected directly to the wall. When the air conditioner makes a clicking noise the monitor goes blank for a...

Power Supply: 850W Unbreakable Power Supply: 700W System Wattage Usage: 400W These numbers are just an example, but the takeaway is: UPS capacity is lower than the PSU capacity, and the System usage is lower than both. What would happen if the lights went out and the system had to run through...
