Constant short power failures with UPS

Featured Replies

Hi All,

 

*Sorry just noticed probably should be in hardware.*

 

I've started noticing a lot of these in the syslog and I can hear my UPS running on batteries every now and again. It only is for a few seconds, nothing else in the house goes, just the UPS.

 

This is the log from /var/log/apcupsd.events
