Hi,

Given the potential risks to running a UPS without an RCD on the output, is there any standard for UPS manufacturers to provide adequate protection?

I work in IT and use UPS's all the time, but wasn't really aware of this.
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?
