I only have a desktop computer but its supply is rated 80+ gold, so it has PFC (if I understand correctly)? Maybe I can disable it in the BIOS? (Going to try)
Already tried running different equipment on the UPS such as modem/router from my ISP or a simple home phone. None of them were having troubles with the UPS…

Some systems just need a pure sine wave UPS. Especially high grade server hardware. But test the UPS with other computers, it could just be faulty.

PFC is in the power supply. The bios doesn’t control it. Only servers may have this control.
Try running some equipment that needs extra load from the UPS. TV? Gaming system? Again could just be an issue with the UPS.
So it wouldn’t work with my PC?
Sorry I was talking about disabling the PFC with the dell Idrac, not the bios.
Going to try some heavy load on it.
