I have a system that aftering working on the Powerpack, it worked properly, the next day it will work and trip off while the monitor still remain on with the Ups.When booted again it will come on .After sometime will still go off .I need a solution.
 
Part of the power protection is a consumable device called a MOV, metal oxide varistor. Every time there is an overvoltage situation a little bit of the MOV's effective life is destroyed. With a large surge they can experience sudden death. There are likely several MOVs, and at least one is near death and shorting across the possible combinations of hot, neutral and ground.

Replace the UPS device. It may still have a warranty.
 
Thanks for ur advice,I just change the UPS now but still waiting if it will happen again.
