Is an online sine wave regenerating UPS really the same as a PS Audio PowerPlant? I think the PS Audio lets you tweak the shape of the regenerated waveform for best sound quality. Plus it has isolated outlets, etc.

A while back the trend was Double Conversion UPS. I am not sure how this differs from an online sine wave regenerating UPS.

I don't know how to size it. Maximum peak current of all devices plugged into it plus 20% perhaps?

Some of their earlier models did offer the option of re-shaping the wave form. I think that did more harm than good for some of their customers and also the units themselves were not so reliable, so they have dropped that option. I have a current production P15 the effect of which I like very much, but it does not offer wave shaping or frequency alteration. (I haven't had to touch it since installing it a few years ago, so I hope my memory of the owners manual is accurate.)

  The P15 manual indicates that Multiwave is built into the unit. It can be toggled on and off from the remote.

    Good evidence that I have been so pleased with the P15 operating in conventional mode that I have not even considered messing with the wave form. Also, in their earlier power regenerators, multiwave was but one way in which you could alter the wave form of the output, again, if memory serves. My P300, a first generation regenerator for PS Audio, crapped out, and though PS Audio were very responsive in that they supplied a schematic and other info to facilitate repair, they will not themselves take on the repair of those early units. I ended up scrapping it.
