Damn, now I have to re think my PSU design!
Heh, this one is 1200VA, which can give me (claimed) like an hour of uptime. That's a lot of time running w/o a pump.

I think I'll put the pump on it and see what the software reports about the load. I always thought there was some issue with inductive loads on these things, which a pump definately is.

I guess the real question is if it outputs a true sinewave. If not, it'll probably shorten the pump life by a lot.
