From what I recall they were saying that it wouldn't work at all. UPS gets kicked over to battery and the computer just shuts off. I was just wondering what the story was because I just bought a...

That's what I meant. Just curious if anyone knew what criteria triggered that. Is it because it's a cheap PSU or something else? I did see discussion that crappy PSUs might not be able to handle...

Most of the cheapo UPS devices are more than fast enough to switch over before your PSU runs out of power and triggers off a shut down. That being said, some PSU's have better caps that others, for...

While there may be a correlation between quality and need for a pure sine wave UPS, even some good PSUs require it. A few months ago I was shopping for a PSU and almost purchased an Antec when I...

In theory a well designed psu and ups should each shutdown in the event that they're operating outside of their designed specs. It's kind of a tricky thing. A modified sine wave inverter...

I have a dell computer at work that needs a pure sine wave UPS. With a cheaper non sine wave ups when the power goes out so does the computer. It does not work at all on battery.

It is not completely a sine wave issue. It is more of a compatibility issue. For instance, we use a cheapo brand called Omega 650 watt (costs approx 50 bux) and they work flawlessly, yet there are...

Yeah upon further research it would seem that non-sine wave UPSs have a potential for damage, but in reality almost never would. And this seems to apply to active PFC and non active PFC units. I...

Short of testing it out in the real world or seeing if someone else tested it out, is there anyway to tell if your PSU will work with a UPS that doesn't output a pure sine wave? Are higher efficiency...
