Many people debate what is the next update after building a pc, I would argue this is the next priority.
What are the differences between a surge protector, an avr and a ups? Practically speaking, it depends on which case scenario you have.

before using surge protector extensions, make sure that your house is properly grounded, Surge protectors need a good grounding system to disperse the surge outside quickly.
How do u make sure the house is grounded, and what happens if its not
@@Asiaofegypt A ground provides a safe path for electricity to go when it shouldn't be there. Be it excess electricity or electricity that is going through something it shouldn't. So it'll have two paths available then; one through the device, and one through the ground wire. Without a ground - the path through the device is it's only option, and it won't pass up on that option.
@@Asiaofegypt if your house is not grounded and you plug in your surge protector, you will flip the main breaker and fry your surge protector.....I know because I tried lol
@@danschmidt1 It means Surge protector fried himself to Protect PC?
I dont have ground but still using a surge protector
i think a good option to use, power in delay device then connected to a surge protector to lessen the high voltage, while the power in delay device delays the incoming of electricity in certain min
The real life examples really helped.
Thank you so much! Very informative video.
Hello, Can i plug a Surge protector in my UPS?
Yes, but it should be the other way around, the Surge protector should be before the UPS coming from the outlet.
@@AlexPCTechso, you mean UPS is to be plugged in surge protector?
@@sunetrasaike5928 outlet -> surge protector -> ups -> avr > computer
@@AlexPCTech hello, is surge protector enough for a gaming laptop? I currently using it while plug in.
@@markkennethlacap27 yes sir it's enough po
Hello I actually don't have an ups but I have a surge protector and avr, so does it mean that the way I will put it is : outlet -> surge protector -> avr -> computer?
thanks for the insights par Lex. keep grinding.
Thank YOu So much!
Great report - solid info, well researched, to the point and understandable for novice. Mahaol
Agreed 👍👍
Should have mentioned that surge protectors only lasts a number of times before it just becomes a normal plug. 100volt surge protectors protect surges amounting to 100 volts then it becomes useless. They are a waste of money. AVR's lasts pretty much for a lifetime and UPS lasts until the batteries in them goes bad, afterwards they pretty much act as an AVR...but you can always replace the batteries in a UPS.
Thank you for that valuable information. I'll be sure to include that in my next video
How can i count the remaining numbers of protection in a surge protector? Or is there an indicator for it?
@@vancanque2213 There's no way to count the remaining numbers of protection in a surge protector. The cheap ones are pretty much a one and done deal, completely useless. There are expensive ones That I consider equally useless. Some surge protectors come with an led light that's green when it's good and turns red when it no longer protects against surges.
@@DeepThinker193What should I use for my laptops as voltage fluctuations are frequent in my area?
THANKS FOR THIS INFORMATION!. My area gets a random power outage and i really need either a AVR UPS. My PC gets grounded, whenever i touch the edges, i get shocked.
What I do with that is I put electrical tapes in between the standoff and the case, there might be some contact happening at the standoff or at very rare cases, the back IO.
@@AlexPCTech NOTED!. Salamat!
@@AlexPCTech what is standoff please explain
@@loippimp6053 the thing you screw yout motherboard into
I didn't even know about AVR and UPS, pretty cool!
Glad it helped
Thank you, Brother for your information..... Really Appreciate it.
Good video man, just what i was looking for
Great video!! Inwas wondering, what would you recommend for a gaming laptop? I usually have blackouts in my area
A ups would be an effective powersource to save critical work during an outage
Quick question. Is it allowed to plug in the xbox series x to UPS? Will it damage the console? Thank you
Bro I have bought 43inch LED TV which will be best for this TV ,surge protector or Stablizers or UPS, please guide 🙏🙏👍👍
surge
Hi alex, lately i cannot open my tv & aircond in my living hall at the same time, will cause short trip of electricity . I suspect some overloading power (im not sure). Is surge protector or AVR help in this case?
Part 2: I thought the UPS was not working because the TV went off. I have to use the remote to turn it back on. Should the TV go out when you use the UPS? Is it working fine? I went back to the store today and told them what is happening and they told me I need an EVR not the UPS. I just purchase "EV 1000E" 75 - 140 VAC. I cannot return the UPS. Do I really need any of these? Confused. Now I have both the EVR and the UPS.
Hey man great video, would you recommend having a gaming pc plugged into a surge protector instead of a wall outlet? Thanks
Yes definitely, especially if you live in an area with a lot of thunderstorms.
@@AlexPCTech what would be a good number of joules on the surge protector for my gaming pc? I have a 500watt power supply in my pc
I had an UPS in the early 2000s and I know that they can be usefull. But I never experienced system or hardware failure cuz of the loss of power, bad weather, etc. and I am living in the village of 2nd world country...
Can i plug my pc to avr then plug my avr to a surge protector ?
Yes
@@AlexPCTech bro my new pc was working fine for few days. Now it just turns on for few seconds all the lights turn on and then off. I was using an old extension cord . Now the cpu won't turn on even if i plug it to a wall outlet. What do you think is wrong.
I have a 5600g pc but with a msi 750 gold psu. With no gpu
I hv two Prolink 1200va UPS that are line interactive, meaning they hv a built-in AVR. They're for my PC & broadband modem + router, which are critical since I now work from home.
What I discovered is that whenever there's a surge or sag, both units would automatically switch to battery power to continue providing clean, stable power. Unfortunately that triggers a built-in alarm that can't be switched off. The beeping racket was unbearable esp when trying to hold Zoom meetings.
After talking to Prolink technicians, I plugged each Prolink 1200va UPS to an APC Line-R 1500va AVR. So I ended up having both UPS and AVR units.
That is actually really good and helpful suggestion as i usually do the Avr right after the Ups. Thank you and ill research more on that
@@AlexPCTechAVR can't work properly for square wave output from UPS when on backup mode, so having AVR provide stabilized power to UPS is good like OP said
so yung UPS po ba maaddress dn yung issue about sa surge? tsaka unstable na electricity?
Q: na try mo naba mag direct? no avr no ups?
kasi ako mag t-try ako para ako mismo maka alam if nakaka sira ba talaga ng pc if naka direct.
para kasi propaganda lang yun mga avr ups for pc eh! at alam ko sa ibang-bansa wala sila avr at ups/ maybe ups para back-up if may blackout etc.
Yes sir. Sa ibang bansa pwedeng wala. Given na they have stable current and less electromagnetic interference. Yes I tried na wala. Sira po ang power supply. Pwede nyo po I risk walang problem. If clean current po ang area nyo wala pong problema. For me kasi importante po ang stability kasi this is my line of work.
hi i have a lifepo4 battery and a snadi inverter, should i use a avr thru my pc? main ---> battery (inverter) ---> avr---> pc.
the battery serves as a ups.we bought the battery to keep the cctv running 24 hours. but we also use it as a ups for the pc. can u help me?
You have my sub sir keep it up 💯
Thanks sir
can this be possible ? wall outlet ---> extension cord with built in circuit breaker and lightning protector--- > avr --->desktop computer?
Hello Sir Alex, so as a best sweet spot talaga, AVR is the best since it can smoothen out the flow of electricity (to preserve the longevity of devices), tas in the tradeoff nalang na mas mababa yung capacity nya in case of surge no? I'm torn kasi if (APC PM53-VN SURGE PROTECTOR) or (Akari AVR 1000W Servo Motor 75% Copper Wire (AVR-SVC 1000)) yung bibilhin ko e, pero parang mas okay nga pag AVR.
Prioritize AVR muna Sir if I were you, but if madalas ang black out or surges, it will be either of the other two po.
Newbie sa very informative channel mo boss! Ask ko po if ano applicable gmitin ko sa Yamaha Electone Organ ko, UPS o AVR po ba? Lagi may brownouts at fluctuations sa area po nmin. Eto po power specs ng organ namin- amplifier unit output power 120w at power consumption 60w SALAMAT PO SIR.! Gudluck sa channel mo.
Most avr comes with max of 4 outlet specially yong mura around 300php, are these types of avr will do the job for flat screen tvs, computers etc.? It is ok to add extension wires for these types of avr?
Yes it will do but that depends on the power draw of the appliance. To be honest I do not add extension wires to any avr po as the power draw might exceed the rated wattage.
I have a question regarding a UPS. Can I attached the UPS to my power extension strip ? Will I have any problems ? Thanks!
Its fine. That'll do.
Hey bro. Amazing informative video. Keep up. I have a couple of important questions. Kindly please answer.
1. Can we connect our pc and 2 monitors to an extension cord and then connect that extension cord to UPS?
2. My ups has 230V + or - 10% capacity. However on my PC cable, it is written 250V 16 amp. I didn’t observed this and has connected it to my UPS and it is working fine for the last 1 week. However I am worried whether I am doing the wrong thing.
Kindly please advise. Appreciate the answers.
1. Supposed to be pc only, but you need a more capable UPS if you want the monitors and 2. It's fine.
@@AlexPCTech my ups has inbuilt AVR it seems sir. Can I still connect an extension cord to extend the length of the wires?
Hello bro, I can't explain this but I recently noticed this after buying my second monitor. Everytime I turn on my electric fan which is connected to the same outlet where my power surge protector, my usb peripherals from that pc shuts off for a split second then comes back immediately (everything, mouse keyboard, webcam, bluetooth dongle, microphone, etc.) even my monitor blinks into black state for split seconds but my computer doesn't shut down it just literally blinks for a while. What can be the main culprit of this event? Thank you very much in advance for responding :))
Hi, this will be a problem with the power distribution eitherway, it gets underloading, have you plugged all the computer components in a ups?
@@AlexPCTechActually my power surge protector strip is connected to another extension to which that extension is connected to the main outlet, while my electric fan is connected directly to the same main outlet but whenever I turn off/on the electric fan it randomly causes the issue I stated. But so far it's been months but no major issues on my core components it's just annoying and at the same time alarming because it may cause further complications if I just let it be.
Same problem tayo boss, bigla humihina yung fan ko tapos namamatay pc then babalik agad pero di namamatay yung cpu pati mga cooler
@@vincetan8700 Regarding sa breaker mo sir, naka breaker ka ba or fuse? FEeling ko overloaded
Same experience im using avr connected to extension cord (no idea if it has surge protect) im using it for a while waiting my surge protector. whenever i switch on and off my fan, my monitor blinks/flcker.
so if i mistake please correct me,
power surge ~ to protect our applience from high voltage
AVR ~ to stablelize current
UPS ~ working like power bank
please do correct me if im mistake 😁😀😀
Can you plug a surge protector in to a ups ? Not for anything crazy bedroom devices ps5, ac, phone charges, controller charges, light lamps
Thank u bro!
thanks it helpme a lot but just wondering cause i have a surge protector extension it is possible to use surge protector and AVR in 1 use and what is the first to plug in it could be the surge protector then AVr or AVR and surge protector
thank u ....
Socket -> surge protector -> avr
@@AlexPCTech thank you so much new subs :)
hello, im using this combo too. Are you using a generic AVR @S3LeNY or you using a servo type AVR?
@@Vanqu1shBDM its ok now thank u
Good day. Can you give example appliances to best use the following?
AVR - ex: Laptop
Surge Protector - ex: TV
UPS -
Sure, in general, a surge protector is the way to go for appliances. Avr is for pc's or tvs and ups is for pcs or even an entire server rack.
@@AlexPCTech a friend of mine said that in the Philippines there is a problem with both excess and insufficient ppwer, that both will fry (different) circuits on the tv.
Therefore, he argues the AVR is only good for excessive power surges e.g. after a brownout. But a UPS is better because it protects against both conditions.
Is he right?
@@timothysmcnamara5925 depends on the AVR though. Theres a threshold for the regulations both of those provide, of course the AVR specifically can regulate voltages more than an AVR. But yes, they do both have.
what brands surge protector do you recommend?

Hi Sir Alex, is it safe to use a normal extension wire on my computer? I don’t have much knowledge about whether it’s safe or not ‘cuz I’ve been using the extension wire that I bought on my pc for years without knowing if it’s safe or not.
OK Lang naman po basta wag Lang overloaded pc, an electric fan and a speaker OK Lang po sa isang outlet in my experience. However, Mas OK po pag galing sa reputable brand ang extension
@@AlexPCTech thank you po sir
Went to so many local electrical stores to buy a surge protector but they had no idea and all of them didn't even know what surge protector is instead they suggested me to buy an extension cord
Well some extension cords do have some sort of a fuse to cut the current in case of a short.
Sir, is surge protector enough to protect my pc for black outs?
follow up question:
Can i do outlet > power surge > ups > pc?
have you found a solution?
I was also thinking of just using a surge protector for now.
But there's always fluctuations as well here in my area.
I'm from the black out capital of PH.
Is it safe to use combined surge protector and AVR? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the video. Just wanted to know if it's really safe to use both the AVR and UPS together because I've been using them both for a long time. My UPS is connected to my AVR while my AVR is connected to the wall.
I saw on another yt video that some PSU already have an AVR.
I was also on a tight budget after building my pc.
I was wondering if I could just buy a surge protector power strip for now and then buy an AVR later?
I have a secure AVR ($5) which I am a bit skeptical about.
I alsop have a mitsushi T04 power surge protector but am thinking of buying panther or royu brand.
Panther Surge Protector>UPS> PC. Okay lang ba?
Is it safe to use? Power outlet > Panther extension cord with surge protector > AVR? Thanks in advance.
Yes

Nako pang computer lang po ung mga alam kong UPS, may mga industrial grade pero same computation po ng joules/wattage, APC ang alam ko na mejo reliable po ang battery and durable.
Hey man, i am having a serious problem with my current surge protector. I recently built a new PC and for some reason every once in a while i get sudden power loss from it. (Surge protector keeps tripping) Do you know what would cause this and a solution would be? I thought that maybe it has to do with not enough amps to support my build? or maybe the surge protector is faulty? (bought an APC one not too long ago) i am currently looking for a new surge protector or even a UPS.
Hi venom, Is Eddie around? Hehe anyway did you try a different socket? Have you tried without the surge protector? It might be a loose connection inside the surge protector as well. If you have tried to isolate it and the outlet is fine, better get a new surge protector from mrs. Chen.
Hi Venom, i have no clue what Surge protector you have but maybe make sure it is over 20 Kamp?
@@AlexPCTech hahaha thanks for the suggestion. I ended up buying a UPS unit from Mrs. Chen and so far so good. Have not had any problems since.
hi im new to this and basically have no one to ask. if im using a 1000w psu hoe many watts should i get for a ups? and if i decided to buy surge protector before buying ups (bcs im saving money for it if it's expensive) what kind of surge protector should i buy? is there watts to be considered in surge protector? thank you in advance.
According to chatGPT a 1500VA rated UPS, it says 20% to 30% buffer above the actual load
Hello. Are you still available for a few questions? This video is 3 yrs old. Not sure if you are still up. This is the deal. I live in Colombia. I had 2 expensive Samsung TV go out before 3 years. One just made it to 2 years. Warranty is done then the TV won't work. My fiend said he had the same issue and believe its the fact that the power goes out too often and the surge damage the TV. However, I do use the cheaper white surge protectors. My fridge and washer are fine and working over 5 years. He told me to get an UPS. I got the Powerwest Micornet 750. Here is the question. First, did I even need the UPS? Second the power went out about 7 times last month. I noticed the TV went off suddenly when the power went off.
To answer your question, I have never heard of the brand Powerwest, thats why I am not sure if it is a reliable UPS as you stated that the TV went off even though it's plugged in the UPS. My suspicion is the UPS is not doing it's job. UPS' has built in surge protectors. So, in case your UPS is not working, the Surge protector doesn't as well. The need for a UPS for me is really for computers when you don't want to loose data or on servers to properly mitigate damage due to sudden power loss. This can also be applied to household appliances, Yes. But in my opinion is it a necessity? No, a good surge protector from a reputable brand is what we use in the Philippines and here also in the UAE.
Hi Alex my question too.
In my case several servers connected to the UPS. Only 2 goes off whenever there is a voltage spike...According to your explanation it could be the UPS. Just a some clarity on that one.
@@andrewkantanga1131 in our case we use 1 UPS per server, are you sure the load is ample?
@@AlexPCTech its a 3phase UPS and we are drawing 56%
Sir I have a UPS connected to the AVR. Then the AVR is what I plug directly to the power outlet(wall outlet). Should I unplug the AVR when I am not using my PC or should I leave it plugged in to keep the UPS charging?
Him first of all, Any particular reason why you did the avr before the UPS? Second, yes. You need to keep it plugged for the UPS to charge when batteries are drained.
Hi, I have a questions, is it okay to connect my PC to a NON inverter generator? or should I use a surge protector for my PC to be safe? please advise, thank you.
Yes. Same concept. A surge protector will still handle current from any source.
(Pc > ups > surge protector > outlet) is this okay?
yes
@@AlexPCTech ty
May surge protector po ako. Would you recommend me to still get an AVR? And if I do, can I plug the AVR to the the surge protector?

Yes po need parin. Also. Check the proper wattage po baka overload
Is there anything to protect UPS from Voltage Fluctuations?
Bought a new UPS and it short circuted upon shutdown of my PC.
How can I protect UPS from getting burned or having anyother problems due to voltage issues?
Is it advisable to use Surge Protector or AVR on UPS? I don't think UPS itself can handle Voltage Fluctuations without damaging itself first...
Good Day Syed,
1. Yes, a Surge protector should be able to handle voltage fluctuations from the wall.
2. This should not have happened, as UPS's also have avr functionalities, if it is still under warranty, i strongly recommend you return it. Yes, you can plug your UPS to a surge protector.
3. It is advisable to use all of the three, and yes, you are correct, the UPS cannot handle voltage fluctuations alone, but it also has AVR capabilities for up to 170V to 280V, if you ask me, thats a pretty wide range.
@@AlexPCTech maybe built-in surge protection is faulty on my UPS which creates this problem, they might replace that part in the repair centre to avoid such problems in future.
Thanks for replying :)
I only need to keep my gaming pc Safe from eletricity can i only use Surge protector?
Is it good to use "PC - Surge Protector extension - AVR" ?
So can i use all together for my ps4 n pc ?

Anong brand ng avr and surge protector ang marerecommend mo?
What’s the best one to use for tv and ps5?
A surge protector
Can i use ups only? Or do i also need surge protector and avr?
It always depends sorry. As per the video. There are several factors to choose either, neither or both.
so basically a ups has surge protection and wattage rating like an avr , while having a battery at the same time?
Yup. But it doesn't regulate or smoothen the voltages out
@@AlexPCTech do i need a UPS if i have an inverter at home , like i use my ps4 slim and TV sometimes when the power is out , without any interruption , right now I'm building a new pc , I'm not sure whether I'll need one!

Okay I have a stream set up with gaming/streaming pc, ps5, lights, mic, mixer, monitors, webcams, etc. Lots of electronic equipment all being used at once for long periods of time. My area doesn't get power outages often, thunderstorms are more common but honestly still not often. What should I use that can handle that type of hardcore power usage that can handle it while protecting all my gear? I would really appreciate your input. I watched the whole video but I'm still unsure.
Thanks for watching. First I would go with a surge protector then maybe two UPS for all of the equipments but that will depend on the capacity of the UPS against the power draw of each device. As for the avr, in the long run maybe go for one for the CPU

Can I use avr, surge protector and ups at same time?
Hi! Do you absolutely need a servo avr or will a relay type avr from a reputable brand like APC do for a gaming pc?
yes. In my opinion, as I do a lot of things with my pc and I cannot afford a downtime, a reputable brand is the way to go.
@@AlexPCTech I see, so a relay type from APC won't be good enough?
@@reyjustine7116 Thank you for your question, I could'nt really see the application of a relay as for my understanding, a relay relays the entire current to another switch, whereas an AVR will be controlling the current that is coming in. Im not an EE by the way so chances are there are variations of a relay that might be similar to how an avr handles current.

I am a beginner pc gamer and I have no knowledge what to do. Just had a power outage and it so happens I was playing while it occurred. Now the power is back and I am too anxious to try turning it back because of my paranoia due the power surge since the power went out twice simultaneously. I am new to this PC gaming topic. I wish to not buy a new PC.
Hi how are you? Are you doing fine? Just relax and breath and if you can get your hands on a UPS, if your powersupply is around 700watts then I advice you to buy an AVR ( APC Smart UPS 1000VA ) Its fine, don't be scared, but if its raining or there are thunderstorms, I advice you to not turn it on for the meantime until you get your hands on a UPS, regards from UAE and Take Care!
