Please log in for more thread options I have a Belkin 550VA that has only my computer plugged into it. It's rated for ~300W. I have a TWA-500W PSU that gives feedback about its power usage: it's at ~140W. Anyway, if I plug my iron (or other devices) into the UPS, the whole thing crashes. Is this normal? Shouldn't the UPS stop this sort of short-circuit (if that's what it is)? thx | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options You over-loaded it and it shut down... that's preferable to burning up I'd say! | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options An iron draws around 1000 Watts. Do you see the problem?

The larger problem might be a perceived need to have wrinkle-free clothes during a power outtage. | |||||||||||||||||||
