At one location I have some single-corded psu powered electronics connected to one APC 3000 UPS. During a recent thunderstorm I witnessed the UPS failed for a moment when utility power fluctuated on off on off etc several times very quickly. This caused the electronics to reboot.

The batteries are fresh and good and the 'Sensitivity' led is set to high.

Anyone use any of APC's Rack-mount Transfer Switches found here?:

I could connect such a switch to two separate UPSs connected to two separate wall outlets. Are these switches intelligent and responsive/reactive/fast when switching? Or are they 'slow' and I may have better chances preventing a reoccurance by simply connecting another UPS to the first larger UPS hoping for a better buffer and accepting an additional point of failure?
 
contact apc that is not the correct behavior and I have not had one do that ever.
