That's good. You should also review... how do you call it? Cable joints, perhaps, from the socket to the main entry to the house of the cables.
but I changed it to a new white one anyway. Printer is still squawking about half the time, the rest of the times just its relays clacking. Maybe the printer needs some break-in time to draw less initially. :-p
Is the printer that complains, or is it the UPS in the other line? Mind, I said my UPS complains occasionally here, too. I don't pay much attention to it. One of my TV sets, a small one in the kitchen, LG brand, complains when I switch the fluorescent tube in there. Volume mutes for half a second. The thing is too sensitive to spikes. Other TV sets do not notice. Your UPS spike protection circuitry might be oversensitive.
100 amps... my whole house is 10 amps max, old contract. A typical modern house is about 20A here.
I misremembered. I had upgraded from 120 amp to 200 amp (paired 100A main breakers).
LOL.
Also FWIW, I live on waterfront.
Does that mean near the sea, lake or river? Sorry, language barrier
Yes. At least part of property boundary touches (usually navigable) water. In this case it's a river close enough to gulf to have occasional salty tide backflow, depending on wind, tidal strength and springs volume.
here. If the humidity is high, or worse, salty, the oxidation worsens.
Humidity is higher than average, but kept reasonable indoors by geothermal heat pump system.
Still... that's bad for cable junctions.
The printer the new Brother replaced was a MF Canon laser. It never made the UPS squawk.
Means that the power surge is higher.
Which could be defect and cause to return it, hence the sub-thread question. I have a new UPS on the way. If the printer does cause the new and/or others to do the same, I may pursue the subject with Brother instead of ignoring it. I don't do a lot of printing, the relays don't bother me, and the beeps don't always happen.
Well, you can ask them, sure. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
