Tripp Lite go no go

description: I am having clean power problems. Every year I move to some different 3rd World Country where the power coming out of the wall outlet is predictably bad. The Amp that I am currently using is doing a brilliant job but is hampered by the disastrous power here in central China. I am doing research in a conditioner/power source solution for my current Amp, which has the capability of drawing approx 2400 watts. I am wondering if anyone has heard of someone using a Tripp Lite Online UPS AC-DC-AC power plant like for example SUINT3000RTXL3U which seems to be a flexible conditioner and regulator. I intend to either replace the cooling fan with a run silent or move this product to another room for the noise I know it will make. It just seems that all the "audiophile solutions are laughably over priced and incapable. Home is where the Marines send me. a link to a tripp lite UPS on Provantage.com

description: Check the waveshape coming out when the batteries are running. The expensive converters make nice clean power but some inexpensive converters put out a pretty grungy signal. In fact, I ran one when I was overseas and connected a barrier strip with built-in surge protection. The converter in the UPS generated such high spikes, the protection MOVs in the barrier strip tried to clamp them and shorted out. I removed the shorted MOVs and converted the barrier strip into an unprotected unit. The UPS had been damaged but a second one worked fine, so I was able to run equipment with it even when power failed. The point of all this is that inexpensive UPS units make a signal that is so marginal it actually damages equipment with surge protectors built in. So be careful and check the signal before using it with anything delicate or expensive.

description: I guess I will do some investigation in their claims of "pure sine wave AC output" 1500 USD is not that cheap although the name Tripplite sure is. Thanks for the fast response
