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?

That’s why it behooves you to get a dual fuel generator.

Get a big propane tank and you’re in a much better position to ’weather’ the storm!

Hurricane Michael did it in for a lot of folks. That was a real nasty one. And they’re only going to get worse.

Jerry and/or Allen,

If you’re a wine sipper, I suggest a trip up north to Shelton Vineyards in Dobson.

Just beautiful! And you’ll be only ten miles from Mount Airy, for all things Mayberry.

They actually have a Mayberry store in Dobson. It’s where I load up on my Barney Fife coffee mugs.
