Black64 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Problem - When streaming from my PC to my A/V setup, while my mini fridge turns on or off, causes the TV to flicker bad and I sometimes lose audio. Same thing happens when watching TV directly off my PC, except it causes the audio to crack. Putting the mini fridge on a different circuit is not an option. What I think I need to do - Install 1 or 2 UPSs System Setup - In the rack Anthem MRX-510 Emotiva UPA-500 SurgeX XR-115 (everything, including my PC, TV and Subs feed through this unit) 2x JL Audio E110 Subs TV - 65" Samsung LED Main PC is in Sig Solutions - I am thinking of getting this UPS I would set it up in front of my SurgeX, so that it would run everything off it. I don't ever need very much run time, 2-4 min at the most and to prevent video/audio flicker. Another setup idea would be to have one UPS run my PC and one UPS run the rack, with both lines going back to the SurgeX (for keeping the power clean). Anyone think one UPS would work? Or do I really need 2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I'd put a small UPS on the fridge as a first start. A UPS that can run all of your electronics would be pretty expensive (overloading them is baaaad). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Wouldn't that also need a massive UPS because when a fridge starts it causes a massive voltage drop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Ah, probably. The inrush current on a compressor is pretty high. You could look into a different fridge that plays more nicely perhaps? Or maybe a power conditioner for your equipment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Lol, that's why I am looking for a UPS solution. IE this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Perhaps something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-LC1200-Conditioner-Outlet/dp/B0000512LA or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000514G8/ref=psdc_761520_t1_B0000512LA ?

Black64 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Well I did a bunch of research and I ended up getting 2 of the UPSs. I will have one power my main PC setup and one power the rack setup. They have built in voltage regulation, so no need to get a standalone unit. I will post back when I get them up and working. I just don't think a voltage regulator will be enough to handle the voltage dip on it's own, so I think the 2x UPSs are a safe bet.
