Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone had a comment on the following: Most
uninterruptible power sources (UPS) have a unique characteristic. There exists
an "energy" (albeit small) on the outlet plug prongs even when the unit is not
connected to the mains supply. I have been told that it won't "Bite" you (~3ma
@ 30-60vac) and that this is "caused by the continuous neutral incorporated in
the unit which is required by UL". Although it may not be "dangerous" by the
letter of the law, my concern is that if someone should unknowingly receive this
"tingle" the natural reaction is to pull away which has potential for injury.
First, is this the "norm"? and How should a manufacturer of a piece of
equipment which incorporates a UPS warn their customers of this? Anyone have
experience with this?
Thank you in advance,
Lisa
