That doesn't sound like it's working right - my APC 2200 unit handles everything the power company dishes out (or doesn't dish out) just fine. Two PCs, printer, all the network gear, amateur radio, sound system, all run without a hiccup while the lights are flickering off, going off for half an hour, etc. Wind induced power "events" are common here.
I'd been impressed with it up 'til that point. The load bar was only on 2 or 3 out of 6 at that time, though there were four computers on, with monitors, and the network gear. -- Jim
