Rey Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Guys I have a similar problem too. My PS4 is connected to the inverter outlet. When power goes out it works perfectly fine, no turning off or surges etc. but it gets turned off after around 10 -15 minutes. Inverter is not overloaded or anything, what could be the reason? It works fine when power goes out but turns off after sometime. Its bizarre. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Thats very very bizzare. The only thing I can think of is the invertor is not supplying steady power. Have you tried with PS4 to UPS to Invertor? That way even if the invertor supply fluctuates (which it shouldn't), the UPS supply will still remain constant.

Rey Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Connecting UPS is the only thing left to try, but was hesitant to buy one because the problem wasn't clear. Inverter runs for 3 hours easily with 2 LED's and a PS3 along with lights/fans etc. had no problems with PS3 on inverter. Don't know what is causing PS4 to react like this. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Try borrowing a friends UPS to test instead of buying one and finding it doesn't solve the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 ^Will try that now.. Also on searching a bit found some people having similar issues, which states that we need a Pure Sine Wave inverter for PS4 to stay on. Can anyone here confirm whether their PS4 works on a Modified Sine Wave or Pure Sine Wave? http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Consoles-Peripherals/PS4-Power-Problem-Doesnt-run-on-Inverter/td-p/45064075 https://www.quora.com/Why-does-my-PlayStation-4-automatically-turn-off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloy Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 ^^old models do that new models have less noise but I can still hear it Its perfectly normal Disc will spin at high noise when 1st installing and then on every subsequent game boot I just tried a dvd(Hangover 3) on it and it works great.It's as silent as it ever can be.So yeah,It's just game installation/verification which causes that noise.

kmkaks Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I just tried a dvd(Hangover 3) on it and it works great.It's as silent as it ever can be.So yeah,It's just game installation/verification which causes that noise. Perfectly fine. Happened with every setup & startup in my PS4 too. It has only been fixed in the newer Cuh 1200 models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk If you want ups only for ps4 and monitor/tv look for APC UPS BX600C-IN 600VA will cost you 2k and will give backup of 10-12 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two models from APC BX600C and BX600CI, any idea of the difference? Also, has anyone purchased this from ebay? Its about ~400 bucks cheaper, if so, please share the seller name, I am looking at this seller currently - kirtionline.

Its about ~400 bucks cheaper, if so, please share the seller name, I am looking at this seller currently - kirtionline. Ps4 touches 230-250 at peak usage. The 600VA wont support both the TV and the PS4 while the ps4 is at peak usage. Meaning ps4 will switch off if you are in the middle.of playing a game. If you are in the ps4 menu then it won't. Ps4+monitor can be supported by a 600VA ups but not a Ps4+TV setup. I have had a 600VA ups for my monitor+ps4 setup and later when I upgraded to a 50inch TV, the ups was not able to support it under load. Ended up buying a 1100VA ups.
