I'm surprised manufacturers like APC wouldn't have thought of this or included this in their products?

Is there a risk to running any equipment on UPS when not plugged into mains indoors, and does it get worse if run outdoors?

is an RCD similar to an ELCB?

At astrocamps, we often use powerboards in the field and that is exposed. is that considered risky?
