A few days back, we had a problem with two of our line of UPS at the office. It turns out that the ones we used for the networking equipment and the PC didn’t have any automatic voltage regulators built in. And when we measured the voltage, guess what? It’s only 170 volts. It was simply nothing and far below what our nation’s electric company promised their customers: A full load of 220 volts. I don’t think that will happen anytime soon. The problem is, the voltage downsize happens during broad daylight. We would probably understand better if it happened while we’re not working late at nights.

Enough is enough, we decided to purchase an APC Line-R 600I AVR and had it delivered to the office. So far so good, it steps up or steps down (which is unlikely) the unstable voltage as needed. We installed it for the networking equipment for the time being, as that is far more crucial than the PC in the corner of the office.

We’re going to see how this goes, and if it succeeds curing our electrical voltage problem, we’ll get another one for the PC.
