Hello

I have a 650w core reactor connected in a good surge protector (iclamper)

It was everything good so far until i had a power lapse in my house

Lights would lose strength ( they became very dim , usual of power lapse ) my tv turned off and so on

But my pc and monitor (both connected to the surge protector ) remained On with the PSU making some clicks ( it is the same click operation of the relay when i turn the PC on and off )

But it is weird that i had some clicks and my pc remained ON

I´ve managed to turn it down but still kept it at the power outlet

Then the power was really cut and it was coming back intermittently ( like low power , throughout my whole house )

Everything was in the wall and even the PC being off ( stand by after safely turning it off before hand , just connected to the wall i mean ) i´ve still heard some clicking coming from the PSU

it was so fast , i couldn´t do much , the only thing i´ve managed was to safely turn off windows

So , i´ve got these clicks while it being in stand by and during normal operation while it was ON ( i´ve never had any additional relay clicks more than turning ON and OFF the PC , the normal behavior )

Now i´m wondering , was this some kind of short or damage to the psu or components ? i have this PSU for a fair amount of time and like i´ve said , never heard any clicks beyond ON OFF operation , let alone it being in stand by

my surge protector did not switch it to OFF as well ( the protection if it detects "risky" power )

but i found it very weird that it was clicking while ON and in standby ( the pc remained ON when everything in the house was running dim / low power )

So , is this normal behavior or some damage was done during this ?Like i´ve said , couldn´t do much except turn it off , happened very fast

Everything is working for the matter

Thanks !

and i´ve wanted to know , wouldn´t the surge protector take place if it was dangerous in the first place ? thanks
