I used an Oscilloscope to test the output, as I need clean power without battery and with.Ok, but I still think you wasted your money on those devices.
They are AC/DC switching power supplies that are feeding a high power oscillator (ie, 120V/1000W at 60Hz).
Then you feed that AC to a second rank of AC/DC switching power supplies.
All you have done is created inefficiency (wasted power since no conversion is 100% efficient) in doing the AC/DC/AC conversion unnecessarily.
The switcher in your UPS is really no different than the switcher in your PC, just a different output setpoint (ie, 24VDC or 48VDC or whatever) vs 12V/5V/3.3V/1.XV outputs in your PC.
AC sinewave power is really only critical if you are using a transformer in the power path; and virtually no switchers do that any more.
What you are doing is not bad, it is just more expensive and basically unnecessary.
My cost is way less than you think, being in the IT business.
Thanks.
