To make a long story short, the relays in one of the UPS units i have malfunctioned, i opened the unit so that i can take the board with the relays out for replacement, and surprise surprise, the unit’s output sockets that read Surge Protected Outlets are not surge protected, they are connected directly to the input power (AC power), So not only do i get a UPS that breaks down easily for no apparent reason, i also get fake surge protection !
Take a look at this photo here, and more photo’s here, this is the 550C enhanced Series
