Re: Lightning - funny how we're not seeing him any more

Had Leythos understood what was posted, then weeks ago he
knew there are many different types of UPSes. Serious UPSes
do provide effective transient protection. They specifically
state such protection in their numerical specs. But a $100
UPS is nothing more than stripped down UPS to only protect
data from blackouts and brownouts; only for a very limited
time.

Does a plug-in UPS do same as the UPS inside telephone
switching stations? Apparently so from what Leythos has
posted. But then he never needed any specification to know
better.
