A good advertisement for installing a UPS. It doesn't have to be big enough to run the mill although I did have one once that could. Basically, anything that can supply the box for 3 to 5 seconds during such a brownout should at least be a down payment on the insurance policy. However, I have not noted the lights dimming or flickering when my 2hp belt driven 120 volt compressor fires up. I ran a hunk of 6-3 UF to the shop, very little drop. But it took a slow, 20 amp breaker to have it stay up when it starts, so it is a pretty decent pull. >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- >--- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 > 30-Day trial.
