Power
Problems usually show up as computers resetting or giving
error
messages about data Loss. Flickering Lights and appliances
that regularly fail are typical signs of Power Quality Issues.
DataBase
Errors or corruption are another mark of Electrical Problems
on Site. The Graphs above show, Left, a typical problematic site
with huge fluctuations and glitches during the day. The Right Graph
shows the same site at the moment when the fault was corrected,
which appears as a vertical shift followed by a smooth horizintal
line.
The problem in this case was caused by the Street
Transformer being overloaded, and had affected the site for a decade
or more.
Problems like these can be fixed for several hundreds of dollars usually, but a good APC UPS is still required to keep your servers going properly.
