I have a UPS at home - for the whole house. However, every time there is a power outage, my computer restarts. It does not restart when the power returns! I had an old computer UPS that I had that I connected to the computer. Now when the power goes, the computer does not restart - but the computer UPS does not 'recognize' the power coming from the main House UPS. So instead of a 5 hr back up - that the house UPS gives me, I only have a 15 min back up that the computer UPS can give me. I have talked to UPS manufacturers who say they need to fit a 'filter' which will solve the problem. They said something about a pure sine wave output- not sure if I understood. They also said the later versions of computer UPS - like APC will recognize the power coming from an existing UPS. I am skeptical
Does anyone know of a cost effective solution to my problem?
