Technomancer
The title of my post is quite self explanatory-what i'd like to know is whether its safe or not to operate a computer on electricity that is produced by the typical generators which are often used to supply power to small /medium sized buildings during blackouts. A technician i knew once said to me that doing so may be risky as generators don't always supply clean power and that the frequencies of the electricity they produce often tend to fluctuate widely,well beyond the acceptable limits-does anyone know whether these claims are true or not? Has anyone ever faced any issues on using a generator? And do typical home UPSes work properly when they are supplied with generator current?
