Buy a lottery ticket instead of making a support ticket!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! For a second there, I had to check to make sure the signature wasn't either of my two sons!Xenocrates wrote:Things have been slow recently though, as I've been dealing with school things (I have now officially graduated from college and highschool, in that order (the graduation ceremonies were 90 minutes apart)), as well as preparations for our major gaming convention in a few weeks (We ended up with a couple 32 player tournaments we didn't expect at the last minute, in addition to our other games, so it was a bit of a rush). If you're in the Columbus (Ohio) area, or are interested in Warhammer 40K, Malifaux, Age of Sigmar, X-wing, Dropzone or Dropfleet Commander (We will have models and rules for Dropfleet there, although they likely won't be the Kickstarter models, as we won't have them in time to paint them for it (By the way, Hawk Wargames is awesome about stuff like that, and have some really cool 3D printed prototype bases for their ships)), or pretty much any other miniatures wargame, or really any game at all, stop by Origins Game fair. It's run by GAMA, and we will be there with an assortment of terrain and miniatures.
I was a forward ET. Glad to know that a fellow submariner is on the forum!knabo wrote:Forward or Aft ET? For the record I was AFT. Hope to show the progress on my printer soon. Mostly stock, but there are a few probably useless additions I have made. This thread is my prime example of how I would like mine to look. Kudos.
Yes I know, but if also the mains does not provide True Sine (of which my understanding is limited, hence the question) which I deducted from your phrasemorgandc wrote:Because there are a lot of cheap UPS that use a square wave, or modified sine that can't power certain equipment while it IS in use.
Then why should a UPS do that? After all both mains and ups output are used to drive the same equipment? I guess a "block sine" is another deal compared to that what comes out of our wall outletsmorgandc wrote:That model is actually line interactive, you would only see "true sine" when the power was off.
Line interactive means that the UPS in some way modifies the current coming from the wall. In some cases, this is to avoid having to use a fast relay or MOSFET to switch from wall voltage to battery, as it will always run off the battery, which may occur in units which have charge and discharge circuitry suitable for continuous duty.DeltaCon wrote:Yes I know, but if also the mains does not provide True Sine (of which my understanding is limited, hence the question) which I deducted from your phrasemorgandc wrote:Because there are a lot of cheap UPS that use a square wave, or modified sine that can't power certain equipment while it IS in use.Then why should a UPS do that?
