Hello folks!
So long story short , a couple weeks ago some wires crossed in my building , I guess the neutral and phase wire and caused a voltage of 440v and it caused my mobo and speakers and iPod to fry.the electrician checked the ground and earthing and all was OK .I also know that it wasn't a surge cause I have a bpe 600va UPS which protects from surges , although it's not that good , it should have done something.So I am pretty sure the double voltage was the cause , I read in a couple forums that it's common in India but couldn't find any solution.At the moment I am considering either buying an APC back ups pro because it's a good model with good surge protection , however I am scared it might not do anything if the same double voltage strikes again.I am also considering Luminous zelio or sukam shiny , none of their websites or catalogue say anything about surge protection but I have heard they usually have a circuit breaker to cut the supply if voltages cross .I am very confused and stressed as what should I do , I want protection if ever the phase and neutral wires cross again giving me a double voltage of 440v and I also want a good backup time.Pure sine wave is preferred as my PSU is a seasonic s12ii 620 . please help me out and thanks.
