Frank,

The reason I wrote that section is that there are a lot of UPS manufacturers that carefully word their marketing verbiage to make it seem that they are providing conditioned power, when in fact they are not.

Another question that can be asked is if the output of the UPS is a pure sine wave. Some of the cheaper units use what is called a 'stepped' sine wave, which creates harmonics in the power.

Having said all that, the fact is that electronics are getting better and better, and many new ways have been devised to deliver quality power through a UPS. Also, switching power supplies seem to be more tolerant of noisy power.

For APC, any of their SmartUPS line should do the job.

Other good companies are OneAC and PowerVar.

Hope that helps,

Jim

I don't see this wording on any UPS devices from APC; do they sell one? If not, who does?
