Re: Plug UPS into Extension Cord
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. |

| Like he said. 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. |
