Will my old CVT work? This is lying idle since I started using UPS on my computers.
I think it is rated for 500VA.
My friend, who is into retail, wholesale, assembling and networking of IT products said that an offline UPS (the commonly used ones), will not work as well as a CVT or servo for rectification of current and voltage. Also they may not prevent surges or spikes. Is this correct? I had planned to install a 600VA APC UPS (About Rs. 2300/- or so) with my 46HX800 setup.
An online UPS will cost 4-5 times as much.
