Usualy 16ms is normal

hopfully this does not matter for me because I have a fairly good UPS that suppose to keep constant power flow and clean up the power while it at it.

Yeah most UPS units have something like "zero clamping time" so you shouldnt have too much of a problem. Furthemore, if its a decent UPS it will have an integrated power conditioner so the power will be indeed cleaned (thus negating the need for APFC which just reduced power efficiency)

Is the intergrated power conditioner feature called AVR(automatic vultage regulation) because I know for a fact I have that.
