Hi all,
Looking of purchasing an APC UPS for my desk+networking setup.
Currently intending to purchase an APC UPS with at least 1100W to run a PSU of 850W (Corsair RMX 850).
This UPS ships with IEC 60320 C13 and C14 connections, which means that in order to plug into all my appliances (PC, monitor, audio, networking etc...) would need an adaptor plug from C13/C14 to Australian 3 pin.
I live in Australia, and where I am the mains is rated at 240V 50Hz and a current of 10A.
From what I see, the C13 and C14 connections would be compatible with the Australian 3 pin and mains supply.
Though not ideal, would it be safe to run an adaptor cord from the mains socket to the UPS, and run an adaptor cord from the output of the UPS to the cord of the appliance and then plug that cord into the appliance?
[Mains>>>Adaptor>>>UPS>>>Adaptor>>>Appliance Cord>>>Appliance]
I'm intending to purchase these cords; but not overly impressed by the need to run adaptors
