I have 9 rack servers in the home lab, across (3) 15-amp breakers in a room with it's own air conditioner. So now the thunderstorms come in and lights flicker in house, and (2) servers just power off. So far I am lucky and have not discovered unusual malfunction.
I started browsing around for surge-suppressor recepticals to install, but they are like $40+ each, and I might need like 10 of them is like $400+/-. Then I was looking at cheaper surge supression power-strips, and am lost since it seems some of them only output 1,500 watts with 8 recepticals. Just one of my servers runs at 650 watts with 2 power supplies.
Does anyone have experience, can help guide me please? Should I just research a whole battery continuous UPS system? Can I get a module and just lace something together with a stack of lead batteries? It seems like building these power supplies can cost me as much as I pay for the used servers themselves
