UPS powered coil?
Hi All,
As part of my home web server project and at the strong recommendation of
several people, I got one of those 500VA APC uninterruptable power supply
boxes to run my server, DSL, and Eithernet hub boxes. They all said it
would stop a ton of odd problems with 24/7 systems... But I thought of an
additional problem for it ;-)))
Now, I really can't help being tempted to run a truly go anywhere coil with
the little UPS box (like my small LTR coil). I guess it has protection out
the wazzu, but if anyone knows of a reason it may blowup with a coil
connected to it I would like to know... ;-))) It has step simulated AC
output which should do OK with a variac and a "little line noise". I worry
about PFC correction (over correction) caps and such. At $130 buck a pop,
I would hate to fry it but the temptation is overwhelming to give it a try
and see what happens ;-)))
Cheers
