    nice, clean power we have here at work



    This is from the UPS that my computer is on. It's like this all the time. Since it doesn't hit the high/low transfer voltages, none of it is filtered out, I'm assuming.

    why is it like a square wave?
    ours is usually all over the place.

    you wouldnt want it to be touching the high and low, what the ups would do would drive you nuts

      Actually it looks like it's clipping about a 10v p-p sine wave down to ~2v variance.

        I have no idea why it's a square wave. This is the only managed UPS that shows that characteristic. All the rest are just randomly spikey.

        I know I don't want it touching the transfer voltages... it'd be kicking over to battery more often than not.
