[Pc_Support] UPS AVR, appliances, activates?

[Jason Boxman]

I hadn't seen this before, but where I live now, apparently, my UPS' AVR kicks 
in when I'm running several appliances simultaneously that draw a lot of 
power.  (The UPS makes a loud hum, which it only does under the above 
circumstance, so I am assuming it is AVR.)

Is there any particular reason why this happens?  Could it be the wiring?  I 
imagine the washer and drier are on different circuits than my equipment 
upstairs.

Thanks.
