Most UPS systems are entirely out of the line _unless_ the incoming power is lost. Sometimes they include filtering, often they include some transient protection. Rarely are they correcting frequency or voltage. Computers will not really care if the frequency varies - within reason. They use switching-mode power supplies that usually are rated for 100-120VAC 50/60Hz. It's not unusual to find one rated 100-240VAC. So in general, as long as the supply power is _clean_, computers aren't very picky. Monitors can be a whole different issue. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
