I'm curious how they've worked out for you. I bought a 700VA model to give it a whirl versus the traditional APC since the Eaton is an online type with static bypass and also does some high efficiency thing where it normally stays on bypass, but the first thing it did on the bench was have the inverter/rectifier or bypass section catch on fire and destroy itself.Was this the 2U rackmount form factor, or the tower? Either way, I hope that you will pursue this with APC tech support. That's a pricey piece of gear, and it shouldn't toast itself at any time.As a side note, how do you call a UPS "online" if it stays on bypass most of the time, and throws out of "bypass" to go to battery?
Reading the specs, it _is_ 'true online' normally, has a bypass mode if internal failure detected, or manually commanded. UPS totally disabled in bypass -- if utility power fails while on bypass, downstream devices lose power. In bypass, device provides 'passive' filtering of utility power ONLY.
