No that was the case before I got the inverter. Once I got the invertor I have stopped using the APC UPS. There is no need of separate UPS as Inverter(most of the inverter models nowdays) themselves act as UPS. My APC UPS is lying in the box somewhere since last a few months.
With Sukam invertor you get a switch to select the mode -
1. W-UPS - in this mode your computer will restart like old inverter used to be.
2. UPS mode- in this mode it will act exactly like your computer UPS. except that it will have big battery and other appliances connected to it.
Also did you check what I asked you - i .e just switch off the main power and monitor the CPU load in task manager when its running on UPS. May be when power goes off, your APC software in trying something funny which is actually increasing the power load.
EDIT: Ok just saw your last post carefully, there is something else going on it seems. as it is happening even where there is no CPU is connected.
Yup pretty much unknowing and fishy. I called local APC here and explained them the scenario, they asked that their technical guy can visit my home but @ the damage of Rs. 750/- visiting charges.
Carry-in charges are 300 bucks though.
So may be tomorrow I will take my ups to them and see whats cooking inside.
