#SurgeProtector #AVR #UPS
Many people debate what is the next update after building a pc, I would argue this is the next priority.
What are the differences between a surge protector, an avr and a ups? Practically speaking, it depends on which case scenario you have.

before using surge protector extensions, make sure that your house is properly grounded, Surge protectors need a good grounding system to disperse the surge outside quickly.

​@@Asiaofegypt A ground provides a safe path for electricity to go when it shouldn't be there. Be it excess electricity or electricity that is going through something it shouldn't. So it'll have two paths available then; one through the device, and one through the ground wire. Without a ground - the path through the device is it's only option, and it won't pass up on that option.

Part 2: I thought the UPS was not working because the TV went off. I have to use the remote to turn it back on. Should the TV go out when you use the UPS? Is it working fine? I went back to the store today and told them what is happening and they told me I need an EVR not the UPS. I just purchase "EV 1000E" 75 - 140 VAC. I cannot return the UPS. Do I really need any of these? Confused. Now I have both the EVR and the UPS.

Good Day Syed, 1. Yes, a Surge protector should be able to handle voltage fluctuations from the wall. 2. This should not have happened, as UPS's also have avr functionalities, if it is still under warranty, i strongly recommend you return it. Yes, you can plug your UPS to a surge protector. 3. It is advisable to use all of the three, and yes, you are correct, the UPS cannot handle voltage fluctuations alone, but it also has AVR capabilities for up to 170V to 280V, if you ask me, thats a pretty wide range.

I hv two Prolink 1200va UPS that are line interactive, meaning they hv a built-in AVR. They're for my PC & broadband modem + router, which are critical since I now work from home. What I discovered is that whenever there's a surge or sag, both units would automatically switch to battery power to continue providing clean, stable power. Unfortunately that triggers a built-in alarm that can't be switched off. The beeping racket was unbearable esp when trying to hold Zoom meetings. After talking to Prolink technicians, I plugged each Prolink 1200va UPS to an APC Line-R 1500va AVR. So I ended up having both UPS and AVR units.

Hello. Are you still available for a few questions? This video is 3 yrs old. Not sure if you are still up. This is the deal. I live in Colombia. I had 2 expensive Samsung TV go out before 3 years. One just made it to 2 years. Warranty is done then the TV won't work. My fiend said he had the same issue and believe its the fact that the power goes out too often and the surge damage the TV. However, I do use the cheaper white surge protectors. My fridge and washer are fine and working over 5 years. He told me to get an UPS. I got the Powerwest Micornet 750. Here is the question. First, did I even need the UPS? Second the power went out about 7 times last month. I noticed the TV went off suddenly when the power went off.
@AlexPCTech
@AlexPCTech 4 ай бұрын
To answer your question, I have never heard of the brand Powerwest, thats why I am not sure if it is a reliable UPS as you stated that the TV went off even though it's plugged in the UPS. My suspicion is the UPS is not doing it's job. UPS' has built in surge protectors. So, in case your UPS is not working, the Surge protector doesn't as well. The need for a UPS for me is really for computers when you don't want to loose data or on servers to properly mitigate damage due to sudden power loss. This can also be applied to household appliances, Yes. But in my opinion is it a necessity? No, a good surge protector from a reputable brand is what we use in the Philippines and here also in the UAE.

Should have mentioned that surge protectors only lasts a number of times before it just becomes a normal plug. 100volt surge protectors protect surges amounting to 100 volts then it becomes useless. They are a waste of money. AVR's lasts pretty much for a lifetime and UPS lasts until the batteries in them goes bad, afterwards they pretty much act as an AVR...but you can always replace the batteries in a UPS.
