Battery Backups?
Greetings,
I hope you are doing well.
So my issue is that when the AC in my garage kicks on, I assume it sags the line causing a power loss to my MK3. This is a 1 second event where you can see the lights blink.
I tried an APC Back-UPS 450 as a battery backup. I assumed because it is a standby UPS, it did not stop the issue fast enough.
I tried an CyberPower 1500VA AVR and the issue of the printer cycling power happened. I thought that an inline would keep the printer safe but it seems like it does not.
Any ideas out there?The garage is setup on Solar Power with AC backup. If the Batteries die, the AC kicks on. This though seems to happen fast enough that the Battery Backup protects the MK3.
It might be resolved by fitting a large capacitor across the power supply but it would be better to fix the AC switchover. Try contacting the solar power inverter manufacturer; it may just be a case of synchronising the AC cycles accurately.
Cheerio,
