What?

Since most are unlikely to live where you do...

Anyway - whether or not you have surge protection (best would be a Universal
Power Supply (UPS) with Auto Voltage Regulation (AVR) technology) for your
electronics and/or home - my suggestion is to unplug from the wall any
electronic equipment that is important to you and not plug it back in until
you know the maintenance is over with and the power should stay consistent.

Also - I would suggest getting a UPS with AVR technology for each of your
sensitive/expensive electronic devices (Televisions, any computer equipment,
etc). Some equipment may not be able to utilize the battery-backed up
side - but those types of equipment should be fine plugged in elsewhere
(some printers have trouble in this way.)

The purpose of consumer UPS is not to keep a home user up and going for long
periods of time - but long enough to properly shut down.

I was not implying you should have UPSes to keep things up - but because a
UPS with AVR technology will provide your equipment with cleaner power and
have a better response time to surges/brownouts than a plain surge protector
(which is often nothing more than a mechanical device - a fuse - which
prevents "too much" of the surge from getting to your equipment) - better
protect your equipment from the unexpected outages.

In other words - your equipment is better served with something like a UPS
with AVR than cheap surge protection alone for unexpected outages and if you
know power will be out and suddenly turned back on at some point - it's best
to plan for that accordingly and unplug valuable devices so there is no
danger of a surge at all to said equipment. Something not plugged into a
wall outlet is 99.99999...% less likely affected by such things than
something plugged into the wall outlet. Wink

If I was in your position, I would power down the computer, unplug and turn
off the UPS until the power was restored. I would do the same for any
network devices connected to the computer (router, modem, etc) as I see no
reason to chance their frying either.

While some may argue that with today's modern power distribution systems,
etc - you are fairly safe leaving it plugged in (and are likely correct) -
there is certainly no one who could argue they are less safe from electrical
surges powered down and unplugged. Wink

If you're working on anything important on your computer, save frequently.

If you're not working on anything important, shut down and unplug the computer
until the power is back and stable. There are sometimes surges when they
switch back on.

A UPS is a Uninterruptible Power System, I've never heard of a Universal
Power Supply, please explain and supply a link to one.
