It's on a 75KVA industrial UPS, which has 2 feeds from 2 different buses, and it's powered by the 125VDC station bateries that control the switchgear in the same location.

But hardware cannot overcome incompetence in people. Putting the UPS in "bypass", and ifnoring the "UPS not in sync" alarm on the computer screen, and opening random breakers without authiriztion can overcome even the best hardware.

Srry, I'm stilll upset about this!
