[labnetwork] Burning of electronic boards

I would highly recommend that you get a flywheel UPS system for the main power feed to the Cleanroom. They are not overly expensive and decouple your facility and critical equipment from surges and brownouts. The flywheel needs little maintenance compared to battery UPS but the downside is it can only handle short duration interruptions (<10 sec).

We do see a need to do an electrical auditing for our systems, but want to know whether there could be any other reason as well. Is anyone has any experience, please let us know.
