Just tonight I replaced a UPS on an extension cord, I have one of those refridgerator cords on it. Discovered one of the terminals was burnt. That's a potential fire hazard. I'm gonna have to pickup a new cord and check the power rating.

Also, not sure about others, but APC will void the connected equipment warranty if you use an extension cord.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16768187 Wed, 23 Aug 2006 23:31:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16764674 flywifiguy : Just make sure your extension cord is heavy gauge enough to handle the maximum current your UPS is rated for. I would recommend 12AWG or larger.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16764674 Wed, 23 Aug 2006 14:44:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16764645 USR56K : Yes, it should be ok. It's not recommended for the same reason you're not suppose to plug in high current drawing devices into an extension cord -- it heats up and has the possibility of melting / causing fire / etc.

However, there is no power outlet in this closet. Is it OK to plug a UPS into a three-pronged extension cord? I have seen warnings not to plug UPS into surge suppressors, and I was wondering if this warning applied to extension cords as well. Thanks in advance.
