[RFI] RFI in CyberPower 1400VA / 840Watts UPS

[Randy Farmer]

I don't recall the model number, but I flat blew up a CyberPower UPS of 
similar rating a couple of years ago. I never heard any RFI from it but 
the first time I fired up the 500W amplifier on 12 meters it gave a 
"crack" sound and spewed a small shower of sparks from somewhere inside. 
It never worked again. I replaced it with an APC model that's worked 
fine ever since.
