I'm sure I have read in some UPS manual that it should be plugged directly |
| 7 |
into the mains socket and not via a surge protector. I assumed the manual |
| 8 |
stated this because when the varistors in the surge protector start conducting |
| 9 |
excess current during a surge, this could start competing against the AVR in |
| 10 |
the UPS, flipping the battery on/off and perhaps causing a race condition. I |
| 11 |
haven't looked into it, but that's how I perceived it at the time. |

Of course we're talking of normal transients here, not a direct hit by a |
| 14 |
lightning! LOL! |
