Voltage

richc46 · 06-30-2009, 12:22 PM

I tried to find the right forum for my unique question, and I think I have found the best one. I just purchased an APC UPS. One feature is the voltage regulator, if voltage fluctuates, I have the option to tell the UPS when to go to battery. What voltage will be safe. I am in the US and have it set to go to battery if voltages goes above 100 or below 96. Should I increase or decrease. I do not want it to go to battery frequently and I do not want to damage my computer. Thanks

Line voltage in the US is between 110v -115v check yours and add 5v for the high subtract 5v for the low.
