I wanted to monitor a PC with a Thermatake RGB Plus 1200 Watt with this APC.
Unfortunately, the power supply unit switches on and then immediately off again, which continues until I connect the power supply.
I know that only a maximum of 865 watts is possible, but only 200 watts are available.
The question now is whether too much is being drawn from the power supply at the moment when the unit starts up.
I have disconnected all the consumers from the power supply. Nevertheless this behaviour.
I would be grateful for an answer.

Answer

First a few questions:
1. do you live in a house where older cables are still installed?
It could be that the initial very high current peak leads to the mains being overloaded and the unit automatically switches off for safety reasons.
Have you monitored the consumption with a voltmeter?

Your data. Your choice.
