Active PFC & AVR

[Sphere]

Hello everyone,

Just wondering if there are going to be any issues running the psu through my AVR unit, such as lower efficency? (maybe that was just while using a ups) or other potential problems?

Any help appreciated,

Thank you...

No problems, unless you run on battery with a "stepped wave" output for a long time,
then the PSU would tend to overheat.

Good ol modified sine wave Table fans sure do sound funny using it.

Any help appreciated,

Thank you...

There's been a buzz about that AVR lately, that it puts out quite a bit of RFI, I havent used one so I cannot personally test it but its worth knowing that some people have quite a bit of trouble with RF interference when using it.

I've had it for almost a year now Wee, and no problems thus far with interference.

I have used APC's with AVR for years & have never even heard this rumor before.

Im referring to this specific AVR unit.

What brand? Why would AVR put out RF?

The one Sphere has, http://www.opti-ups.com/device_detail.phtml?product_id=96

I dont have an answer to why it would, I am stating ive heard that it did just for information to Sphere, but it sounds like his is fine

I'll post back if I do have any issues, psu won't be here until tomorrow.

Thanks guys.
