Re: What can make such a loud pop sound to come from the UPS " is this a common case, have you heard about such cases before or this is something rare and hardly happens"
It's not unheard of. In general, a good quality product shouldn't do that but it does sometimes happen. You have a different brand ups now so the fact that you had problems with the other one doesn't mean that you will have problems with this one.
Does anyone here know much about accura or iball products?

said by Sachin Naik:then suddenly my monitor went OFF (NOT the CPU box) and i started hearing some minute tak tak sounds coming from the port of my monitor where the main plug is connected You did not tell if the monitor worked again. I guess it did but is your monitor an old style CRT monitor as opposed to a plasma or LCD flat screen? CRT TVs and monitors can some times fail in the way you described. |

Sachin Naik maybe you blew the fuse up. You can replace it but you have to pull out the UPS the unscrew the cover then use a soldering iron to get the fuse out and then take the soldering iron and welled the new fuse in. The put the cover back on. Pop it back in the PC plug every back in. Then turn it on and see if that doesn't solve your problem. I've done this sort of thing before many times.
Okay if that doesn't work for you then I'll have to go with psafux and say the capacitor blew up and burn to a crisp.
You know you could just simply take the wimps way out and replace the UPS with a new one. |

I got to thinking and maybe your fuse got to hot and overloaded and blew. A fuse is basically glass and it could make that sort of noise if it blew. |

Lagrangeville, NY | A fuse is not glass a fuse is wire that will melt once the draw is too high... it is encased in glass so you can see if the wire has melted... the fuse does not *blow* as in up. |

What 'pops' in a UPS is the capacitors. In college we use to overload them on purpose to get them to 'pop'. If those went then your UPS is history. |

| reply to Sachin Naik
A word of warning as well. Caps can store power for a long time like days, weeks, or even months even with the device unplugged. Enough that can cause some serious damage to you in the case of a PSU or UPS. If you plan to play with them Google how to discharge them first to be safe. |

I've hooked up fuses to 50,000 amps before and watched the glass blow up. So if the energy output is to high the glass can blow up. |

I've done that as well. I just didn't think the power level would get that high in a UPS to mention it but I could be wrong. |

Okay, I am sure the OP is running 50,000 amps in the ups... I am sure that the circuit breaker in the panel will allow that, I am sure everything will allow that and the one little fuse will explode and nothing else in that house, taking that 50,000 amp surge (or anything in the ups) will show ANY sign of damage.
Hey and I seen electric arc 5 feet... mighta be a 500kv line but... hey we talking about 50,000 amps in a ups that is running 120 or 240 / something like that volts... |

but the technician found out it was only the coil which got burnt during the first ups issue (loud noise), in the second ups issue it was only a little smoke coming out (no sound)
you have not read my older posts properly
but anyways i have bought a new ups everything is working very fine  |
