I’m wanting to put both of my RCBS Chargemasters that I’ll be receiving next week on a APC UPS conditioner that provides steady clean power. Can someone that is running two CM’s and has them on a APC suggest a model number that is sufficient for the task. I’m electrically challenged. Thanks!!
 
Yeah, I don't really care if it has UPS at this point I just want good clean power to my units. I like the price of the one you posted padom but I'm confused about whether its a line conditioner as well as an AVR? I was looking at this one, https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-LC...ne+conditioner
If the one you posted has the same features and/or is sufficient for the job I'm good with that. Seems like the one I posted cleans the power and regulates it where the Apc you posted only regulates it? I'm confused at this point.
 
As far as Im aware this does not have AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) like the APC unit I posted above. APC includes AVR in their higher end UPS's that start in the $299 and up range.

Yeah, I don't know - looks like you may be right. I had it laying around, so... but it's a Standby topology unit, which means the power moving through it is likely unregulated... It does have surge protection, either way.

Well, by definition, an AVR conditions the power. A power conditioner kills the spikes and surges, but doesn't do any more than that. An AVR should level the power out almost entirely.
 
The APC unit I linked to above is a AVR with Surge protection. It boosts power if it falls and decreases power if it spikes providing constant, stable power to your devices. You can see via the indicator lights on the front if its level, boosting or decreasing. It does exactly what you want.
