Good morning Skunkworks Thanks to Kenya Power we may be completely unproductive today. The problem is not a lack of power, but crazy power fluctuations. This morning things seem especially bad with the power flickering on and 3 to 4 times a minute. And the fluctuations seem “stronger” than usual as normally our UPSes can handle the fluctuations pretty well but today they seem to be struggling. This means computers turn off every minute as the power fluctuates. Assuming each UPS is protecting one desktop: 1. What VA should we be looking for in a UPS to counter this? 2. Some people suggest VA 650 and above others VA 750 and above, does this make any difference? 3. Is VA what we should be looking at when buying a UPS or something else? Another strange thing. This problem seems to affect different sectors of the office randomly. For example last week Comp A connected to UPS A would turn off each time the power fluctuated, while Comp B connected to UPS B would be fine. Today Comp A connected to UPS A is fine however Comp B connected to UPS B is now going down every minute. The computers are in different rooms. Does this make any sense? Apart from gremlins/ghosts/ninja turtles what could cause this randomness? Thanks D -- Pamoja e:daudi.were@gmail.com <e%3Adaudi.were@gmail.com> skype: d.were
