Yea i got it... I know APC by it's USVs .. but didnt know the "conditioner" term regarding powersupply units so i was kinda confused at the beginning but all clear, now.

Now I'm confused, what is a USV? My old boss worked for APC in the UK for a while.

Perhaps they are similar to uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).

That's the German short expression for "Unterbrechungsfreie Strom Versorgung" (USV) - similar to UPS systems in english

At one time, power conditioners were the bridge between a regular power strip surge protector and a full UPS, although at this point, a UPS have probably gotten cost-effective enough to go the UPS route.

Is that a USP of the UPS systems by APC then?

But anyhow - a ZA3 by fosi is coming... I ordered it a few days ago [...]

So i will be be triggering the ZA3 by the Ultra then and hope it's running like to be expected.

Sometimes things doesn't run as smooth as to be expected.

Actually it seems like the ZA3 will never reach me... Even before arriving at my hometown there seems to be a postal/adress error or anything like that resulting in a automated return-shipment that i can't stop.

That's kinda annoying - and a little bit frustrating. I guess it's not the fault by Fosi - more an postal error.

Anyhow - i was close before to order the unit again from Amazon this time because they got it in stock locally - but actually iam quite unsure, especially in comparison to my small Fosi V1.0B... is it really worth upgrading? I barely need that much power and the power consumption of the V1.0B is so low that iam not really concerned even if it runs all day long...

The main reason buying the ZA3 was the 12v trigger option to keep the energy down when not in use...
But actually iam not unhappy with the V1.0B in terms of power and it's even smaller to hide... 'cause the orange volume fader on the ZA3 could initially "trigger" my daughter to rotate it the whole time, same as she does with the Wiim Ultra volume fader
