Re: UPS problems with electrical generators

thanks guys! (for some reason i wasn't emailed when more people replied to this topic)

@Maxxarcade:
"i ran my old UPS (APC Back-UPS 500) from my cheap Homelite LR4400 generator for a while with no problems."

how many hours do you think it was running from the gen?

Looking into my suspicions:
q"There are many people in the generator and UPS industries that have tried to operate engine driven alternating current (A.C.) generator sets (gen-sets) and uninterruptible power systems (UPS) together. Although some systems are successful, there are problems that can occur."/q

So i'm wondering about UPS compatibility issues.

I'm looking for a few people willing to test their generators with their UPS
to see if any problems arise.

for the ones...
