Niky 1000 UPS making strange sparking noises (video)

[GraphicMan]

the problem is fixed by replacing a capacitor that was reading less than what it should, thanks for everyone tried to help

most invertors wont charge a bettery with no charge, so using a load wont work,
they also dont stop charging - they switch to tricklecharging al low current.

back to the problems,
transformers hum because they can move - tightening any bolts and maybe putting wax or epoxy on the windings can reduce it.
ticking or clicking could be a loosly wound inductor.

it does a float charging and lithium cant take more voltage by giving more current, nothing goes to it, so it never go beyond 27.3
we dont want to go into that coz it is totally another topic
i dont have anything that is loose, notice how the sound stops immediately after turning off the pc and lcd while still on bulb

If there is arcing, you would think it should show on the PFC.

fizzing sound sounds like something that is damp or wet arcing . . not saying that's what it is but sounds just same

I have a question for you dose do the same thing when you use the batteries that are suppose to be used are they 2 @ 12 volts each which is 28 volts and 2 12 volt batteries are 24 volts unless I am mistaken you might be putting too much voltage on the battery backup circuit which might be causing the issue

When did this too a battery backup that was 24 volts I could only use 6s 2P because of the voltage when the batteries are fully charged

i dont have SLA anymore, i dont think this has to do with the battery wutsoever, the battery is charged with the ups, so it stops charging everytime exactly at 27.3v, and at any voltage the ups will make so IF the same type of load is used, on bulbs it never do that at any voltage and any load, so apparently it is related to the type of load and not the battery, on top of that, regardless where is the sound coming from? the transformer or something else, it seems like the transformer humming is continuous and the sound is extra (not replaced)

Logged in or not, i have never seen the mp4 attachment also until now after i have posted it, nor got any notification for removal, also the reply mail notifications comes so late, so these are 2 issue for the admins to check
here is a link for the video, plz guys help

this sound is not normal and it does not appear unless there is an inductive load, resistive loads like heaters or tungustin bulbs never do that, it is not by chance, many times if the battery is full and the inductive load is low it can stay up to 30min without this sound

oh now i see the original video link attachment for the first time after posting!
if u still dont see the attachment plz use the google drive link instead , plz read the post details to understand what is going on on the video, thanks

Maybe you see a your stored memory, browser cache...
Can you post the link for dl... maybe is only not published but still there bug?

[CapLeaker]

sam_sam_sam, harp
funny… for me it is still there, just like the pic I posted earlier. That’s strange… not sure why I can see this file and you guys are not.

[sam_sam_sam]

weird. I can see it on my Ipad using Edge. I think your problem might be that you are not logged in. Not logged in = no attachments. Just tried it with Safari. Not logged in and my screen looks like yours. Log in and then you see the link.

I downloaded edg and it still not there and I am logged into it this is how I doing this post reply

[harp]

To confirm for clarification attachment issue
Attachment are see either logged or no logged status, but to download you must be logeed in.

When op posted I see for sure mp4 file listed on bottom, while logged/no logged, but next day mp4 is disapeer, not listed anymore while loged/nologed... and there is no notice left of there is any "last edited"...
I check from two different browser.

So...
I suggest to use external service till no resolving attachment issue
http://fileconvoy.com/
I have tested this and using it for few years, it is wery good, work with old browser also.
Just set expiration date to two-three weeks, and post link here...

i am logged in and cant see it

if it's not sparking then it may be an inductor / coil vibrating

[CapLeaker]

where ?

There!

[GraphicMan]

this is so strange i am sure the video was there when i posted, now me also dont see it, what to do?
guys it is NOT sparking, it is making a similar noise like sparking, i have already checked it in the dark, no sparking
btw a local technical that i dont know told me to replace the resistor of the frequency! as well as the orange ceramic cap, does that help? we need the video though!

[sam_sam_sam]

The same question I have unless Safari is blocking it
