Should I test my new UPS by flipping the main breaker at my house?
I want to make sure the uninterruptible power supply actually works before I destroy the box it came in.

What's the worst that could happen?

6. Spoilsport. You probably just swat flys with a rolled up newspaper instead
of using the blowtorch, don't you?

3. Do whatever you want to your breaker--they won't care.
Duh. Their brown trucks run on gas, not electricity.
