Title says it all...The 1500va is a 865 watt unit. I have never had it loaded past 328 watts. Last Thursday the lights here flickered on and off. the event listed (The only one) is for "Electrical Noise" lasted 5 seconds. The Unit Buzzed and Clicked my computer stayed on and Now at the time there was a heavy burnt smell . I thought it was coming from Sons room. smell was stronger there, but now I smell it real faint here in this room. The smell is coming from the unit.
What happened , I bought this over sized so i had room to expand . Everything Looks normal in the APP for the Unit. Should I be concerned ?
