I need a UPS for our American Microwave Oven. It's 115V 60Hz and UK supply is 240V 50Hz. Although I have a step-down transformer, the clock runs from the supply so it always runs slow. We just leave the display off and for the short cook times, it doesn't make much difference.
The cheapest way is to use a UPS to convert frequency, but at $1500 for a 2KW UPS, it's a bit much just to run a poxy clock. :-) Regards, Alan. www.theatreorgans.co.uk www.virtualtheatreorgans.com www.paramountorganworks.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Gregg Eshelman To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 10:33 AM Subject: Re: [AP] UPS I have a small BackUPS 650 with the tower and monitor of my main PC plugged into it. The main reason for it is the electricity here quite often has "blip outs" that last just long enough to cause a computer to shut down and all the digital clocks* to blink 12:00. Can barely notice the drop in a slight flicker in lights. Of course a "blip out" is nearly always guaranteed to happen in the middle of a render or conversion of a long video. Ihave a larger BackUPS with monitoring port I should use on Megatower 2000 but I haven't gotten a round tuit yet. *Whatever happened to battery backups, or even a capacitor holding enough charge to power a clock for one or two seconds? I used to have a Betamax VCR made by NEC with a feature no other VCR ever had, except for other NEC Betas. A built in NiCd backup battery for the clock and timer. Imagine that, the most "duh, that's obvious" feature there could ever be but only NEC put it in. The V70 also had about 40 jacks, meters, knobs, dials and sliders encrusting the front and back - but not a single Sony manufactured component. (Possibly the only Betamax licensee to not take the bargain license option of buying major parts from Sony.)
