Power Conditioner Rebooting
« on: September 11, 2017, 08:01:17 PM »

I work with a local high school marching band. We use a sound system to mic some instruments as well as a electronic piano. We have been using it with a Furman PL-Plus C power conditioner for over a year without issue.

However, we are having an issue of the power conditioner rebooting when the piano plays a fairly loud boom sound effect. Could this be a symptom of this loud sound causing the two amplifiers to draw more power than this conditioner can handle?

The two amps are Yamaha P7000S.

I am very experience running sound, but electrical issues are beyond what I know. Thank you for any help.

That glorified power strip isn't adding any real protection.. take it out of the system and throw it away.

Kinda figured it was put in this system more as a rack mountable power strip.

We actually have a UPS in the box as well. Allows us to boot up the digital board before we have it plugged in to power since the board takes 45 seconds to boot.

I will try putting the amps on the non battery side of the UPS.

Um yeah that UPS can't handle 1 let alone two amps.

The UPS cannot handle it or the Furman cannot handle it?

The UPS can't handle it. Plug the UPS into the Furman and then the board into the UPS. That should solve your problem.

This is a portable system that has to be setup and torn down in seconds. There has to be some sort of power strip because we cannot run multiple extension cords.
