avr cuts off high voltage if kena lightning strike, save your electrical devices connected to it.

ups is avr with battery. apart from lightning strike protection, it also provides some emergency power for your devices to shut down properly.

in that case just get the avr or if budget permitted get the ups+avr function.

from time to time, tnb do switching at their subtstation , u would notice by sometime flickering with ur electronic equipment. In this case, avr do help to maintain constant source for ur device

I live like 20km from factories. So, sometimes voltage becomes slightly unstable. Noticed issues during my external GPU days. Then, bought an AVR.

But if ur using for critical applications, UPS would be better.

Mine is super old model. Only has 3 led lights showing "normal", "high", "low". When it's on, it will just light on one of them. No number to read its voltage blink.gif
