Quote seablade:

'offline' UPS means that it will switch to the battery and sometimes this doesn't happen fast enough to prevent problems in computer based equipment, thus why you may have had problems,



That said, an offline UPS (designed for computers) will hopefully be better than nothing (the current situation).

With an online UPS, would we expect a significantly greater chance off the UPS itself failing (for whatever reason) hence taking down the show, while the raw mains feed itself is perfectly fine ? With the offline UPS, at least the show is effectively running off raw mains until something goes horribly wrong. Or am I being paranoid ?




Ahh sorry I misunderstood, I thought you HAD a UPS and had the issue, my fault.

I haven't had one fail in such a way yet myself.
