How can I tell a voltage stabilizer is pure or modified sine wave?
Hi all. Am a little worried about my son's gaming PC. I moved it to his room where I needed to get a multi-socket power strip. So considering I was getting a power strip, decided to get a stabilizer (for PC). Then I read that you're not supposed to hook newer computers onto stabilizers, unless they're pure sine wave. I have zero clue whether this particular one is pure sine wave. It actually looks kind of sketchy (kind of bad paint job, light-ish weight, soft-ish plastic). Here's the website for it: PX10 2200 – Anthay I'm in South America by the way, so we use 220.
My son's PSU is the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold SSR850FX (I know it's overkill but this particular model was on sale when I got it, lol) so I guess this applies as a modern PSU that can self-stabilize? Will it be safer if I just plug it into the main? My mom is worried about electric instability (we do get blackouts from time to time, they're usually not super long, usually an hour or less, maybe twice or thrice every year). We also get light flickers when it's hot outside and everyone'susing their AC's.
Thanks for any advice, would appreciate it. Don't want to bust my child's PC as I just got him a 580 :)
