voltage problem (too hight)

[Gaurav]

can i connect an additional Control voltage transformer(CVT) or any voltage stabilizer to my APC Back UPS, because in my home voltage is sometimes high and the UPS won't turn on in regular mode.
If i try to do so then it turns on in backup mode only i.e. it runs on its battery which is limited to 10 to 15 min only.
please suggest me, if I could attach an additional CVT or voltage stabilizer with the APC ups and whether it is compatible and safe with APC ?
is using such a combination safe for my computer peripherals ? if yes then could you specify the CVT model which is compatible.
please help me..
am using the Back-UPS ES 500 (BE500y-IN) model

thanks in advance

I am using a 1 KW automatic voltage stabilizer with my UPS and it works fine since last 18/20 months. I think there would not be any problem using a stabilizer with UPS.

and the hight should be spelled with out that "t"

oops thats a spelling mistake for sure, sorry for the wrong word.

Very often I have to use a voltage stabilizer between mains and the UPS. But here the situation is the other way around, ie., the voltage goes too low. Only ensure that the stabilizer (wattage) is rated higher than the UPS.

my dad uses a stabilzer between the mains and his ups too. no probs for the last 7 yrs!
