Re: System utility power failed

Older APC units had no "sag" protection. Only total loss
of power triggered the battery. It has only been recently
that small ups's had this capability.
When you mentioned the vaccuum cleaner-I thought you
were going to say they unplugged the ups to plug in the
vacuum.
