This sounds pretty interesting. Did you ever do a write-up of it?

- LinuxBender 7y agoNo, I just complain to the power company a couple times per year. One of the neighbors also complains to them, as they smoked 2 of his UPS units. They burnt up a few of my cheaper UPS units prior to having the liebert double-conversion UPS. The 1200W APC caught fire. The other ones just smoked. The smaller APC units (power strip form factor) never smoked, they just tripped a lot.
- segfaultbuserr 7y agoI recommend installing surge suppression and overvoltage protection device at your home's main electrical panel. It won't improve your power quality or reduce interference, but it'll probably save your appliances from destruction...
- LinuxBender 7y agoI've done that too. I have a bank of 12 metal oxide varisitors. I forgot what each one is rated at, but they are big. They won't clamp until much higher voltage though. The double conversion UPS is between that sloppy power and the sensitive equipment. Prior to that, I lost 3 UPS units.
