Re: UPS powered coil?

["Yurtle Turtle" <yurtle_t-at-xxxxxxxxx> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-xxxxxxxxxx>)]

I currently have a blown diode on my TrippLite 600 VA
UPS, which was no doubt caused by my coil. Also, I fed
it the nasty voltage from the side it expects to see
nasty voltage on: the line side. I too have been
tempted to use either my UPS or my automotive 12 VDC
to 120 VAC inverter. Keep us posted.
