Surge Protector vs AVR vs UPS | What to practically buy?

[@joshygaminghub7428]

before using surge protector extensions, make sure that your house is properly grounded, Surge protectors need a good grounding system to disperse the surge outside quickly.

[@Asiaofegypt]

How do u make sure the house is grounded, and what happens if its not

[@Layarion]

​@@Asiaofegypt A ground provides a safe path for electricity to go when it shouldn't be there. Be it excess electricity or electricity that is going through something it shouldn't. So it'll have two paths available then; one through the device, and one through the ground wire. Without a ground - the path through the device is it's only option, and it won't pass up on that option.

[@danschmidt1]

@@Asiaofegypt if your house is not grounded and you plug in your surge protector, you will flip the main breaker and fry your surge protector.....I know because I tried lol

Hello I actually don't have an ups but I have a surge protector and avr, so does it mean that the way I will put it is : outlet -> surge protector -> avr -> computer?

[@jokok2333]

thts okey and outlet>>avr>>surge protector>>computer also okey. both are great but i will put avr first coz surge protector can only protect on specific voltage so if avr first then three of them can be safe . tht being said, surge protector are cheap so it doesnt matter which one is first

[@DeepThinker193]

Should have mentioned that surge protectors only lasts a number of times before it just becomes a normal plug. 100volt surge protectors protect surges amounting to 100 volts then it becomes useless. They are a waste of money. AVR's lasts pretty much for a lifetime and UPS lasts until the batteries in them goes bad, afterwards they pretty much act as an AVR...but you can always replace the batteries in a UPS.

[@AlexPCTech]

Thank you for that valuable information. I'll be sure to include that in my next video

[@vancanque2213]

How can i count the remaining numbers of protection in a surge protector? Or is there an indicator for it?

[@DeepThinker193]

@@vancanque2213 There's no way to count the remaining numbers of protection in a surge protector. The cheap ones are pretty much a one and done deal, completely useless. There are expensive ones That I consider equally useless. Some surge protectors come with an led light that's green when it's good and turns red when it no longer protects against surges.

[@CarltonsTravelAdventures]

Hello. Are you still available for a few questions? This video is 3 yrs old. Not sure if you are still up. This is the deal. I live in Colombia. I had 2 expensive Samsung TV go out before 3 years. One just made it to 2 years. Warranty is done then the TV won't work. My fiend said he had the same issue and believe its the fact that the power goes out too often and the surge damage the TV. However, I do use the cheaper white surge protectors. My fridge and washer are fine and working over 5 years. He told me to get an UPS. I got the Powerwest Micornet 750. Here is the question. First, did I even need the UPS? Second the power went out about 7 times last month. I noticed the TV went off suddenly when the power went off.

[@AlexPCTech]

To answer your question, I have never heard of the brand Powerwest, thats why I am not sure if it is a reliable UPS as you stated that the TV went off even though it's plugged in the UPS. My suspicion is the UPS is not doing it's job. UPS' has built in surge protectors. So, in case your UPS is not working, the Surge protector doesn't as well. The need for a UPS for me is really for computers when you don't want to loose data or on servers to properly mitigate damage due to sudden power loss. This can also be applied to household appliances, Yes. But in my opinion is it a necessity? No, a good surge protector from a reputable brand is what we use in the Philippines and here also in the UAE.

[@andrewkantanga1131]

Hi Alex my question too. In my case several servers connected to the UPS. Only 2 goes off whenever there is a voltage spike...According to your explanation it could be the UPS. Just a some clarity on that one.

Part 2: I thought the UPS was not working because the TV went off. I have to use the remote to turn it back on. Should the TV go out when you use the UPS? Is it working fine? I went back to the store today and told them what is happening and they told me I need an EVR not the UPS. I just purchase "EV 1000E" 75 - 140 VAC. I cannot return the UPS.

[@kkhalifah1019]

I hv two Prolink 1200va UPS that are line interactive, meaning they hv a built-in AVR. They're for my PC & broadband modem + router, which are critical since I now work from home. What I discovered is that whenever there's a surge or sag, both units would automatically switch to battery power to continue providing clean, stable power. Unfortunately that triggers a built-in alarm that can't be switched off. The beeping racket was unbearable esp when trying to hold Zoom meetings. After talking to Prolink technicians, I plugged each Prolink 1200va UPS to an APC Line-R 1500va AVR. So I ended up having both UPS and AVR units.

That is actually really good and helpful suggestion as i usually do the Avr right after the Ups. Thank you and ill research more on that

Okay I have a stream set up with gaming/streaming pc, ps5, lights, mic, mixer, monitors, webcams, etc. Lots of electronic equipment all being used at once for long periods of time. My area doesn't get power outages often, thunderstorms are more common but honestly still not often. What should I use that can handle that type of hardcore power usage that can handle it while protecting all my gear? I would really appreciate your input. I watched the whole video but I'm still unsure.

[@AlexPCTech]

Thanks for watching. First I would go with a surge protector then maybe two UPS for all of the equipments but that will depend on the capacity of the UPS against the power draw of each device. As for the avr, in the long run maybe go for one for the CPU

[@durangedd2611]

@@AlexPCTech so 1 surge protector, 2 ups, and 1 avr. How should I hook that up?

[@AlexPCTech]

@@durangedd2611 even multiple surge protectors per outlet is recommended, outlet - surge protector - UPS - avr - electronic component

[@rochellesanico8113]

Hi, I have a questions, is it okay to connect my PC to a NON inverter generator? or should I use a surge protector for my PC to be safe? please advise, thank you.

[@AlexPCTech]

Yes. Same concept. A surge protector will still handle current from any source.

Question i'm planning to buy UPS but no idea if 650va is compatible for my 750watts psu + 24inch monitor.

Hi. That's kinda low. You will need a higher one.

Yes :)

[@mavin_81]

Thanks for the video. Just wanted to know if it's really safe to use both the AVR and UPS together because I've been using them both for a long time. My UPS is connected to my AVR while my AVR is connected to the wall.

[@NahadgurYT]

I saw on another yt video that some PSU already have an AVR. I was also on a tight budget after building my pc. I was wondering if I could just buy a surge protector power strip for now and then buy an AVR later? I have a secure AVR ($5) which I am a bit skeptical about. I alsop have a mitsushi T04 power surge protector but am thinking of buying panther or royu brand.

[@arturyamasi6532]

pwede po bang i plug ko ung PC sa mismong extension na may surge protector? kahit wlaang avr or ups

[@garaheboxer6763]

Can I plug my surge protector to a power strip/extension cord?

[@AlexPCTech]

yes, however, if your extension cord does have some kind of a surge protector, better double check as it may be redundant.

[@garaheboxer6763]

@@AlexPCTech do you recommend using a surge protector instead of a cheap AVR worth 300 pesos? Or should I use both?

[@AlexPCTech]

@@garaheboxer6763 i firstly recommend an AVR as that was what i did back then before I invested in a surge protector. Yup, an avr worth 150 pesos did the job for me way back then.

Same question

[@reyjustine7116]

Hi! Do you absolutely need a servo avr or will a relay type avr from a reputable brand like APC do for a gaming pc?

[@AlexPCTech]

yes. In my opinion, as I do a lot of things with my pc and I cannot afford a downtime, a reputable brand is the way to go.

[@reyjustine7116]

@@AlexPCTech I see, so a relay type from APC won't be good enough?

[@AlexPCTech]

@@reyjustine7116 Thank you for your question, I could'nt really see the application of a relay as for my understanding, a relay relays the entire current to another switch, whereas an AVR will be controlling the current that is coming in. Im not an EE by the way so chances are there are variations of a relay that might be similar to how an avr handles current.

Hello Sir! Pwede ba akong mag plug ng extension cord sa ups? Bale nasa extension cord ko din nakasaksak yung pc ko.

[@chilltfdown7645]

hi im new to this and basically have no one to ask. if im using a 1000w psu hoe many watts should i get for a ups? and if i decided to buy surge protector before buying ups (bcs im saving money for it if it's expensive) what kind of surge protector should i buy? is there watts to be considered in surge protector? thank you in advance.

[@juanjo250]

According to chatGPT a 1500VA rated UPS, it says 20% to 30% buffer above the actual load
