[Nut-upsuser] [Eaton 5S 1500] overvoltage shut down?

I'm going to CC Arnaud's work address just in case they have any
additional information at Eaton, but for a variety of reasons, NUT is
not very strong when it comes to post-mortem analysis of events. If
the system running the NUT driver did not have a chance to log the
event before power went down, it is difficult to ascertain what
happened.

Is there an "upsc" dump for these units in one of the other
email/GitHub threads? (Feel free to redact all or part of the serial
number.) I don't know of any particular combination of settings which
might cause an immediate power-down for over-voltage, but it can't
hurt to check.

Arno: do these models keep an event log in EEPROM? Didn't see anything
in the MGE OPS protocol library on the NUT website, but I haven't had
a chance to poke around the Eaton website.
