Need Advise on AVR/UPS

[dab_s_bad]

---

greetings to all,

would like to seek advise from our knowledgeable members for recommendations on AVR/UPS setup.

I currently have some "DUMB" UPS's [all with dead batteries] and am really not sure if these UPS that I have 'have' AVR functions as these units are just the el cheapo variants [1k+]

note: electricity seems to be good or stable in my place but its better if you have a sort of protection, right? as its not really 100% always stable, and also, power fluctuations seems seldom but can be so darn deadly , kung mataymingan..., yayay gyud

another note: not a gayming rig peace!, less than 500watts consumption ani niya.


if servo AVR, unsa ato dapat bantayan ani!?, unsa reliable nga brand!?

my idea/option is to either:
option 1:
-buy a new battery [less than 500php I guess] and put it to one of my UPS to bring it to its functionality as a UPS back.
-buy a servo type AVR [500watts] and combo it together with the DUMB UPS

option 2:
-buy APC/UPS combo that is around 3k~4k which provides both AVR and UPS functionalities
[added bonus of using the APC variants is that you can connect the UPS dataline to your PC and have the PC to be configured to auto shutdown just in case it have power failure]

option 3:
-just use the dumb UPS only without AVR

option 4:
-your option?

[werty]

-unless nalang if unreliable jud kaayo inyo power-line(sige brown-out, sige low-voltage, mag pid-ok2 ang suga), d jud kaayo need nang sophisticated line protections, a properly earth-grounded outlet is enough(ask your kurentisyan).

-get UPS if need jud nmo ang "backup" function, like being able to save important work during power-outage etc. but ayaw gamita nang el-cheapo avr if gagamit ka ug psu with "power factor correction" feature kai d na ganahan ug simulated sine-wave. get a SMART ups if kaya sa budget and if necessary.

-kung d ka mag Smart UPS, pag servo avr. if kaya budget, use both.

salamat sa pag comment! ^_^

na-a di-ay problem bro if ang PSU kay na-a active PFC then gamit kay dumb UPS?

and how can I determine a SMART UPS? ug if servo AVR, unsa ato dapat bantayan ani!?, unsa reliable nga brand!?

update nato gamay ato thread, thanks!

akong psu naay active PFC feature, ok ra ba na set up rako like i.e wall->surge protector->PC
