ako last rig died due to a power surge after a brown out. wa ko nag gamit ups den ako gigamit nA avr was a cheapo unknown brand.. after that i learned my lesson na gyud. because i was too lazy and cheap to get a good quality surge supressor, i lost my 1500 dollar rig. apil pa kamatay ako hi-end home theater system.

Okay, pero mao ni akong plano paliton pero it has no AVR builtin.

APC BACK-UPS ES 500VA 230V PHILIPPINES

or kani

Back-UPS ES 525 Universal for ASE

Daghan pang nindot sa APC na UPS pero wala ko kabalo asa paliton...

from the links you've given:

Battery-protected and surge-only outlets -

Reserves power capacity and run time for connected equipment that require battery back-up while providing surge only protection for less critical equipment




Power conditioning -

Protects connected loads from surges, spikes, lightning, and other power disturbances.




Data line surge protection -

Provides protection of connected equipment from power surges on the data lines.




Safety-agency approved-
Ensures the product has been tested and approved to work safely with the connected service provider equipment and within the specified environment. UL, FCC, CE, C-Tick approvals.






these UPSs have the capabalities of an AVR plus battery backup. so why do you say nga wala built-in nga AVR? nga klaro na man kaayo nga ang mabuhat sa AVR mabuhat sad ani niya.

sure ka bro? asa kaha ta kapalit ana?

[yugi]

@insect111: I know pero did it stated sa features niya nga naay AVR? saonz although naa cya protection pero it didnt stated sa ilang specification mao wala ko mo buy pa.

Anyway pwede ra mana cguro basta naa lang backup...

Mga bro, ako advice ninyo ayaw dobleha ang gasto sa kuryente. Kung mag gamit gani mo ug bisan unsa nga UPS ayaw na ninyo gamiti ug AVR. Ang AVR naa na cya power consumption.....

[moklo]

Mas mabugatan imohang UPS kung mag AVR pka... magamit pa nmo ang power nga ma consume sa imong AVR sa uban nga device sama sa printer, speaker ug uban nga devices for computer. mo ubos ang life span sa imong UPS kung kargahan nmo ug daghan basin hinoon ang UPS ang maguba.. mahal rba na.

Kanang ingon nila nga built n nga AVR sa UPS panindot lang na sa produkto pero parihas rna tanan. Why?

[moklo]

ang sulod sa ups usa na ka inverter from 12VDC to 220VAC or 110VAC. Compose na cya ug power transformer ug mga switching transistor.

some cases maka daut if mag brownout coz let say u transfering a file or data 2 disk. dn kalit ka off mau nai cause of bad sector.dn usa sd maka daut sa imu sytem.

muregulate ba na ug voltage ang ups bro?
