UPS into surge protector?

[thorhammerz]

Hello,

 

I'm currently leaning towards buying a CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD, but it only comes with 1030J of surge protection; is it common/safe to plug one of these things into surge protector (whether that's a power-bar or a on-the-wall-socket unit)?

Common, I'd say no

Safe? I'm not an electrician nor do I design UPS's but I'd beg to guess yes but ill-advised...provided you don't overload the power strip or the ports on the UPS because it might cause an electrical fire.

There is no need for a surge protector if you have a UPS they have a decent amount of surge protection but will basically in the worst case will cut itself off the the grid if it detects a surge due to say a brownout or just bad quality power.
