About the UPS, I had a problem once when I plugged one into a Furman power strip, rather than directly into the wall outlet. Apparently, the UPS was fine, but would only switch on quickly when it was plugged directly into an AC outlet. Maybe there is an engineering reason for the Furman causing the problem because of its own protective circuitry, or maybe it was coincidence, but in case it helps you, I'm reporting the experience.



No maybe to it, the MOVs in the Furman would kick in first, clamping the AC line so fast that the UPS wouldn't be able to detect a fault in time.

No need for the Furman there, any good UPS has its own transient suppression system of MOVs in it anyway, plus the same or equal harmonic suppression and EMI/RFI filtering.

In short, placing the Furman before the UPS effectively put "blinders" on the UPS...
