Most likely, because they are apparently wired for single phase operation:

     .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.165.3.3.3.0 = INTEGER: 1
     (upsInputNumPhases.0 = INTEGER: 1)

In most cases the above means that if you want to read the input  
voltage, you don't mention the phase (or use the extension ".0"):

     .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.165.3.3.4.1.2
     .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.165.3.3.4.1.2.0

Yes. When a unit is wired for single phase operation, you usually  
don't need (sometimes even, must not) add a phase.

This is indeed what we expect.

No, this flag will tell it to only query for this variable if the  
input_phases value is 3. So you'd still need to query for

     .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.165.3.3.4.1.2.(1|2|3)

to read the values. Adding something like

	{ "input.voltage", 0, 1.0, CPQPOWER_OID_IN_VOLTAGE ".0", "",  
SU_INPUT_1, NULL },
	{ "input.L1-N.voltage", 0, 1.0, CPQPOWER_OID_IN_VOLTAGE ".1", "",  
SU_INPUT_3, NULL },
	{ "input.L2.N.voltage", 0, 1.0, CPQPOWER_OID_IN_VOLTAGE ".2", "",  
SU_INPUT_3, NULL },
	{ "input.L3-N.voltage", 0, 1.0, CPQPOWER_OID_IN_VOLTAGE ".3", "",  
SU_INPUT_3, NULL },

usually does the trick.
