What do they do? As long as there are no voltage surge, micro-processor can care less if it had power shut under it, it's a piece of metal really. Blackouts do more harm to vinyl table motor or CD spindle than they can to the solid state electronics.

Voltage sages and voltage spikes can play havoc with power supplies that provide regulated DC to microprocessors. It is not uncommon for a sage or peak in voltage to scramble an eprom's ability to read the embedded software code, and requires the component to be reset using a specific procedure that resets the microprocessor. By using a power conditioner with battery backup, or an AC regenerator with battery backup, the output voltages are controlled more accurately, and during power sages, brownouts, or complete loss of incoming AC these devices transfer to battery and inverters that create 120 volts AC from 12 or 24 volts DC batteries.

I agree with you that the original PPP's sounded no better than the APC S15 on my sources/pre and I would have lost battery back-up capability it I had swapped. Jim |

Jim's recommendation of a decent quality multimeter is good. I prefer Fluke meters, as I used them professionally for years without issue. I would suggest you purchase a meter that has the mini/maxi feature. This allows the meter to record the minimum voltage and maximum voltage over the period of time the meter is connected to the voltage source, and recall those measurements. A typical multimeter will not measure current to a high enough level to be useful, but Fluke make several excellent amp meters. The one I use is capable of measuring up to 2000 amps and would not truly be suit for home type applications, but a smaller Fluke clamp on amp meter like their new model 322 will allow you to measure up to 400 amp loads, plus it measures AC/DC voltages and resistance. It does not have a mini/maxi feature, but does feature a digital hold function.
