Hi Everyone,
I have a weird issue with my Schenider Electric UPS. My APC BE600M1 sits on my desk with my desktop computer, 3 monitors, speakers, and a USB hub plugged into it. On two separate occasions, I have plugged my vacuum cleaner into a receptacle across the room, not into the UPS, but to a receptacle on the same circuit as the UPS, and the UPS has been fried. Nothing else on the circuit is affected, the vacuum runs, my 3d printers continue running, just the UPS Fails and my computer turns off immediately.
Schneider replaced the UPS without question the first go around, and I am in contact with them trying to get it replaced again
Could this be caused by a drop in voltage from the load on the circuit being too much? if so, why wouldn't I be tripping my circuit breaker, and why wouldn't the UPS be designed to handle whatever is happening here?
I'd love to hear any ideas/theories. Thanks in advance!
