No benefit. You are just trying to regulate an already smoothed out voltage.

I have the following UPS: Cyber Power CP1500PFCLCDa

https://www.cyberpower.com/global/en/product/sku/cp1500pfclcda

聽

I had it connected to voltage regulator, so pretty much:

UPS -> Voltage Regulator -> Power Socket

聽

Is there anything wrong with that? 馃

聽

In my apartment, power variations (power spikes?) are quite common for some reason, very frequent between 8 a.m. to around 5 p.m. then it goes back to normal.

聽

So I had connected my UPS to a Voltage Regulator for extra protection.

聽

But, if I were to connect my UPS directly to the Power Socket, could my UPS tank those power variations?

What kind of voltage regulator?

I would say the Cyberpower should be perfectly adequate.
