I have a 3KV ups with extra battery pack (about 2hr of run time) running all my machines at home, when we 1st moved in we were getting really high voltage > 253, now that most of the houses are build it is not as high.
My UPS has setting for high transfer and low transfer, I have these set to 253 for high and 208 for low (that is the highest setting for low), when the power gets below 208 it switches to the UPS batteries. Most of the power supplier even the desktop computers are now taking a range of input power anyway, check your machines and see what they say. Bill Chesnut Microsoft Integration MVP (BizTalk) Melbourne, Australia Stuart Kinnear , 7/25/2013 11:50 AM: I am suffering major degradation of power supply over these winter months. The voltage drops to 204V during peak load periods and sits any where between 215 to 230 during the day. Contacted United Energy several times - they are playing tricks like not turning up when the problems are manifested and measuring the power at midnight & saying it's OK. Talk to the technicians & they say that because I live at the end of the street & there are several new units >>> tough luck charlie. What I am thinking is to get a decent UPS that would regulate the supply, but I am not sure that they would work over a number of hours. It would need to support 6 PCs. Does anyone have any recommendations ? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuart Kinnear Mobile: 040 704 5686. Office: 03 9589 6502 SK Pro-Active!
