It's pretty common in non-residential environments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power Given that this is a carpet manufacturing, it is quite likely that when the weaving machines kick in there could be a large current draw at initial startup. I am not an electrician, but have been acquiring a set of stationary power tools for woodworking and have become more familiar the effect machinery has on electicity tansmission... I've also seen similar issues at a small-town newspaper that was next to a dairy operation. Daily, when some operation at the dairy started running, the newspaper's UPS systems would trip. That definitely was a utility issue which we were able to get them to resolve.

We had one school where they would occasionally lose power in a strange way. I'm not an electrician, but it was something about the way the power came into the building--it had 3 of "something" and two were online while one would go offline. Some things in the building would have power, some had none, and others had partial power. Required the utility company to fix the problem. -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com<mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com>] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 5:51 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Strange PowerChute errors I had to reinstall PowerChute (Business Edition Basic) on one of our servers yesterday because it went brain dead and couldn't see the UPS. I also switched from USB to serial for the communications. I got a bunch of alternating messages from PowerChute overnight, one saying self-test failed, and the next one would say the self-test completed successfully. I also got errors about the site wiring, but when I look at the local console on the server, it says it's fine. I'm not sure what to make of it. Granted the UPS is over 3 years old, but the lights on the UPS itself show the battery is in good condition and has plenty of run-time. How would you guys interpret the results? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
