   @ivesen It's very possible. In which case I just need some way to prove it's the UPS

     @quad well, your UPS might just simply be fucked

     @ivesen Apparently it's every 20 years. Regardless, they were here only about a month ago.

     @ivesen Also there was an electrician here for a routine (required every 5-10 years I think?) inspection only about a month ago. I'm fairly certain they'd notice if my entire apartment turned out to not be grounded

     @quad you could also do like me and connect a wire from phase to ground :meowdab:

     @ivesen huh, okay.
     
     Unfortunately I don't own a multimeter though

     @quad if you measure the voltage between a phase and ground you'll know, if it's grounded you'll have 0 or 120(ish) volts
     if it's not grounded you'll likely see a few millivolts depending on the length of the ungrounded wire

     Also I'm no electrician, but how would it even detect if it's grounded?
     
     Wouldn't the ground fault trigger if it sent as much as a peep over the ground wire?

     I've tried digging through the manuals and crap and it doesn't seem like there's any kind of multi-phase power support to disable. And I've at least quintuple-checked that the power settings are in fact 230V and 50Hz. Which are the only two settings it has under "input"

     it claims "input ground lost or phase reversed"
     
     either my entire house (including bathroom and laundry room) is in actuality not grounded, or my apartment has magical single-phase power that is reversed

     bruh, i finally got a UPS, but i can't convince it to actually use AC power for anything besides charging the battery. and i've been trying for two and a half hours.
