Overload Lights up instantly when motor starts

[Anonymous user]

I have a pump connected to the APC Smart 1000va ups. The pump has a 900VA max sticker on it. When I turn on the pump the UPS overload light lights up instantly and then goes off and works normally.

I switch daily this pump on.

Do you think that this overload it instantly causes could damage my UPS?

thanks

Hi - shouldn't cause any damage but if the UPS had to switch to battery during the overload condition, it might get stuck in overload and just stay there and then ultimately turn the pump off since it'd be in "overload shutdown."
