<<  We received a call yesterday from a customer with a question on the
 compatibility of the power output of his SW4024 with a new APC surge
 protector for his new computer. He said the APC unit had an indicator light
 on warning of one of the following conditions. 1)no ground circuit.
 2)neutral circuit overload. 3)reverse polarity in building wire.
    He had checked out his wiring before calling me and it all looked good to
 him. We had swapped in the SW inverter this August during an inverter
 upgrade for his 6 year old system. His question is: could the Trace itself
 cause the APC surge protector to have the error light?
    Any insights, or comments would be appreciated.
 Thanks,

I don't know. Not familiar with that unit. I do use surgeprotectors on the 
computers here. No problems. I would suggest trying another protector. If it 
indicates problems, then it may be time for a service call. Check wiring and 
Trace.
