Hey guys. So i'm from the Philippines and am planning to buy a CyberPower UPS (the PFCLCD version). They are really hard to find here so i will have to get it from the US. There are a few shops that sell the brand but not their PFCLCD models. I'm currently using an APC UPS. If the PC isn't loaded, meaning light usage like browsing, when the electricity goes out, my APC usually is able to keep the PC running so i can shut it down properly. The issue is when the load is heavy like when i'm gaming. If there is even the slightest interruption of electricity, my PC just shuts down. I've done some research and have come to the understanding that this might be due to the APC UPS using a simulated sine wave as opposed to a true sine wave. Just as a background, i'm using a Silverstone Strider Gold Evo 750W power supply and have a 6600k OCed to a mild 4.2ghz.
So to my actual question. I checked the specs of the CyberPower UPS i want to get: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16842102132. The voltage requirement is 120V (obviously since it's what the US uses). But here in the Philippines, we run at 220V. So i just wanna know: if i get this from the US, will i actually be able to use this here? Or is there any way to make it usable?
Side question: another option would be to just stick with the APCs available here in the country that use simulated sine waves but maybe get a higher voltage model? Mine is currently a 650VA model. I could possibly get a 1100-1200VA model from APC, albeit a simulated sine wave model still.
