Power Quality Issues that May Affect Your Electronic Devices

Power Quality Issues

Some electronic devices are sensitive to electrical line interferences and poor power quality.
Normally this can be resolved by purchasing a plug strip that has power conditioning and power filtering capabilities.
If the problem is extreme then an Uninterpretable Power Supply UPS can be purchased which has the same power conditioning and power filtering capabilities as well.
Plugging the computer into either of these two units should solve this problem.
