Uninterruptible Power Supply

I'm not familiar with what you're describing with the different kinds of PSU's in the Ion but I'm curious to know how that affects the choice of  a UPS.

That being said, I've used a lot of "off the shelf" UPS's with an Ion many from APC without issue.

Hope this helps

I've heard and researched that many companies are using active power factor correction power supplies in various newer technologies to help improve on efficiency with the use of power. I am interested in knowing if the power supply for the EOS family consoles is an active power factor correction or a passive power factor correction. I've heard that it can make a difference in the choice of uninterruptible power supplies that one may use as a backup. I know that some uninterruptible power supplies will cheat a little with how they supply backup power. They will send out a waveform that is more stepped. Other uninterruptible power supplies will give out a pure sine wave. For example, if the console was using an active power factor correction and I used a standard uninterruptible power supply that outputted a stepped waveform, then it could be potentially damaging in the event of a blackout / brownout.
