After a short power outage (resetting breaker) the protected outlets no longer provide power. Is there a way to fix or do I need a new UPS?

  • Anonymous Feb 19, 2010

    turns out it was the battery. Once the battery expires, the UPS goes "dormant" the first time it switches to battery. Old battery had expanded, maybe from corrosion inside, and took considerable effort to pop out. Miraculously, replacing the battery has worked so far.

The unit may need to recycle itself. Remove the loads and turn the unit off. Plug it back in, wait a bit, then turn it on. Then try your loads on it again.

Testimonial: "thanks"

    Yes, there has to be a bit left in the battery to close the relay to start the unit. That is why I had you turn the unit off and try it. If it didn't come on we know the battery is gonzo.

    They don't make these easy to replace the battery. I have often thought about using a pair of small external batteries... most of these run on 24 volts... not sure about yours. The replacement batteries can cost a bundle too...

How to protect my fridge from short electrical supply failures

Sounds like you need an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). They will keep the fridge running for about an hour with no power at all and they also protect against brownouts, dirty power and surges.

My radio stopped working after a power surge tripped the breaker for the outlet it was plugged into.

I have had several different makes of clock radios and all said that it was battery back up for power failure
none worked and all settings had to be redone
power surges do not trip breakers as they are in effect a fuse to prevent damage to the wiring in a dead short situation or when a unit fails
even surge protectors will still pass power after a surge but will no longer protect against another surge

Is there anything that can be done to fix the front outlets? They don't work. Back ones do.

The outlets that are used for Battery Back Up need a power cell that is recharged and ready to take over when a power situation requires action. If the battery no longer charges it must be replaced as the outlets will not have any power connection.

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you
Plug the battery backup into a working electrical outlet. If the battery backup turns on when the power button is pressed, then the problem may be that the previous electrical outlet is faulty. Proceed to step three. If the battery backup doesn't turn on, proceed to step two.
  • 2 Reset the circuit breaker on the battery backup. APC battery backups have a labeled circuit breaker button located on the unit near the phone line, fax line, USB, network and coaxial cable inputs. Press the button to reset the circuit breaker. Power on the battery backup by pressing the power button. If the battery backup powers on, proceed to step three. If the battery backup doesn't turn on, proceed to step six.

  • 3 Determine if the battery backup is charged and providing battery power. With the battery backup on and plugged into a working electrical outlet, plug a computer monitor into one of the battery backup outlets labeled "battery backup plus surge protection" on the battery backup. (APC power supplies have some outlets that provide only surge protection while the other outlets provide surge protection plus battery backup.) Turn the monitor on. Unplug the battery backup power cord from the wall outlet. If the monitor remains on, the battery is holding a charge, supplying electrical power and the battery backup is working properly. If the monitor goes off, proceed to step four.
  • 4 Charge the battery. Plug the battery backup into an electrical outlet and allow the battery to charge for 16 hours. This will fully charge the battery.
  • 5 Test battery charge. Once the battery is fully charged, repeat step three. If the monitor stays on when power is interrupted to the battery backup, the issue is solved and the problem resulted from an incompletely charged battery. If the monitor turns off when power is interrupted, the battery within the battery backup is faulty and needs to be replaced.
  • 6 Replace the battery backup unit. The unit itself is faulty. If the battery backup is under warranty, contact APC to request a replacement.

    Our electricity went out for a few minutes, and since then the TV will not turn on. The green light is flashing. We tried resetting it by pushing a pen point into the reset hole, but it does nothing. ...

    Your power outage may have been caused by a nearby lightning strike, or any number of
    1000 different reasons that cause power surges, brown-outs, voltage spikes, inductive loading,
    and/or utility pole breaker trips and resets (this accounts for your power loss (a pole breaker trip),
    followed by restoration of power (the pole breaker automatically reset) - even plain old high electrical demand causing an overload due to air conditioning demands caused by hot weather.
    When the pole breaker reset, your TV caught a power surge.
    Whenever a power outage occurs, quickly power off (or better, unplug) any/all computers, TVs,
    etc. that are not protected by surge-protection.
    As an electrician, when someone loses an item of electronics concommitant to an electrical
    anomaly, its almost
    always traceable to a nearby lightning strike (or the power company provided equivalent), accompanied by inadequate surge protection for
    the VCR/TV/Computer/Stereo/uninsured valuable electronic item/XBOX 360/Nintendo Wii.
    Surge protection can
    be provided by the consumer at the power strip (a good one with builtin MOV protection and a
    warranty costs $20, whereas a zero-protection 4-outlet or 6-outlet power strip will cost $4-$5).
    Your electrician can provide whole-house surge protection where a whole-house MOV-based (metal oxide varistor) surge protector, or per-circuit protection can be installed with
    a GFCI breaker (or better, an AFCI breaker) can be installed.
    GFCI = ground fault circuit interruptor
    AFCI = Arc fault circuit interruptor
    Lightning protection is especially important in Florida, which is the "lightning capital of the world."
    I've never found a good solution to lightning-fried electronics (random power supply components are destroyed and/or fuse blown), other than renters insurance or homeowners insurance.

    Your only real hope for an economical fix is to look for a blown fuse, and replace it.

    If desperate to attempt a fix on your own, you could try replacing the entire TV power supply as a module, but even this provides
    no guarantee of a fix - lightning damage can extend beyond the power supply.
    When traveling, I will always unplug everything before I leave (except the security system),
    and also turn off the breakers to unneeded house circuits (which kills the wall switches that
    control interior lighting - forcing a burglar to use their flashlight instead of interior lighting)
    which is the least convenient lightning protection, but highly effective, and cheap (free).

    Need information

    The Back-UPS is fairly straight-forward. The 9-pin connector (at the top of the back) is a serial port (RS-232) for the UPS data (when connected to a computer it will shut down the computer safely during a power outage). The next plugs are RJ-11 telephone jacks; the cord from the jack (wall) goes in on the left (some models have RJ-45 for network protection). The battery protected outlets are the three surrounded by black paint. The other three provide surge-protection only. Do not plug items like printers and scanners into the outlets that provide battery protection.

    I hope this helps.

    Advanced power options settings UPS for blackout buster?software

    I have to answer this question with just plain old common sense. Get a new one! This is crazy. If you get a new one, you will have a better, more upto date and something you can handle with todays OS and obviously new batteries. That is too old to mess with. I fixed a powerware once and the plastic was falling apart and the PC board was held together with a rubber band. Not worth it.

    UPS issues with bad power

    First, most of the UPS sensitivity can be adjusted. Setting a higher sensitivity will make the UPS compensable much faster if the current goes to high to too low thus always providing a good power quality to the equipments. For example, on a BackUPS RS the low level can be configured from 94V to 104V and the high level from 126V to 136V. An entry-level UPS such as the APC BackUPS ES will switch to battery mode as soon as the power goes out of the sensitivity range. On the other hand, a high-end UPS for workstation like the APC BackUPS RS has a feature called Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) that compensate at some extent without requiring the battery; this makes the battery last longer before needing to be replaced.

    Second, most of the UPS have "Battery Protected" and "Surge only" outlets. Make sure that the computers are connected to the "Battery Protected". The "Surge only" outlets will only protect from parasites or surges like a thunder storm. They should be used for less important stuff like a desk lamp or devices with high demand peek such as a laser printer.

    Third, the use of a power bar connected to the "Battery Protected" side should not have any impact as long as it is not overloading the UPS. Personnaly, I have a power bar connected to both my UPS.
