Re: Split Power on an 825

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jay,

 Good thinking on the split power. Just make sure that EACH UPS is 
capable of the full load! While testing this in the past we watched UPS 
two shut down when UPS one was disabled... Not the intended result!   
Once properly sized and devices needing power protection connected to 
the UPS that you TEST it. Once your TEST is successful, make sure that 
NOTHING else gets plugged into those UPSs.  If you do, you can no longer 
be sure that you are redundant.

 As to the voltage difference. It shouldn't matter. The 825 needs at 
least 208v power the 5095's will run on either 110 or 208/240.  I would 
use both 208v units if I had the choice rather than the 240v, though I 
don't have an engineers answer as to why.
