Everyone talks about servers and routers and racks but I dont see many posts about how you protect your electronics against power outages, power surges or brown outs

I’m using :

Panamax M5300-PM

APC J25B Line Conditioner with 3 hours back up battery for redundancy ( main server /router/ modem connects to this)

APC H15 x 2 Power conditioner

I lost a couple of motherboards because of sudden power surges before deciding to invest into some protection.

    APC Symmetra LX 16kVa wired to a secondary panel. That panel feeds both the rack and computer receptacles in my office.

    For extended outages I have a natural gas powered permanently installed backup generator. Generator start and transfer switch is fully automatic

    As far as the rack and my office machines are concerned the power never goes out, even though my area experiences frequent brownouts and winter has a pretty good chance of seeing an extended blackout
