I wasn’t sure where to classify this…


So this isn’t specifically audio focused, but people here understand things like

power management, THD and so on.

 

I moved from So-Cal where all I had to worry about was having a UPS for a 30 second or less power outage.  Now I live in So-Alabama where hurricanes could potentially take power out for up to 2 weeks!

in said situation, whole house backup generators are extremely

pricey!  I have a regular construction generator I want to use as an emergency backup, as well as a battery backup UPS on my computer.

this is a non-inverter generator, so it’s dirty power.  lol my

UPS protect my computer etc, and regulate the large THD issues, or do I need something to help adapt?  Since this is for backup, and I don’t plan to run my high end theater equipment on it, it’s merely asking advise on equipment that would help me not fry my computer in a 5-10 day power outage with dirty power.  Is the UPC enough?  Do I need more?

Moved from SoCal?

Why leave  this expensive, traffic ridden, over crowed, polluted paradise?

Guess being a native, I'm a little over nostalgic and defensive of my constantly getting weirder state.

Congrats for making it to the "finish line."

Looks like you're locked and loaded for some reasonably comfy listening sessions in peace.

Enjoy!

I'm in Long Beach, and gonna check out  The Show today and listen to unobtanium setups I wish to own for my retirement setup.
