As for the voltage level there is also the possibility that if you are in an industrial/commercial setting you are getting power from a 3 phase panel and thus are on a 208 volt circuit. With three phase power each leg will measure 120V to ground or neutral but phase to phase is 208V.

Maybe it's just lousy power.(I have no easy way to verify) those numbers come directly from the ups itself. My cyberpower unit displays the correct voltage (I am in the US, we have 120V line power); however, there are probably different versions of the firmware that might not have the correct voltage readings (or your power fluctuates a lot).. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
