The APC goes offline for 4 seconds, and beeps, and then back online for 7
or 8 seconds and then goes offline for 4 seconds again. The generator
does not load down at all, our load is about 750-770 watts and the
generator is 3500 watts so it might be dirty AC or ? The UPS will run
like this for an extended time before discharge, but I think it isn't
doing the equiptment any good. I have seen line conditioners that will
take any dirty power and clean it up to true sine wave, and within 1%
of 125 volts. might be something to put between the generator and
the ups?
Wondering,
Jeff
