I know that APC's website states this load on this unit results in this runtime.
However I do not trust these figures, typically, when coming from smaller manufacturers than APC.
I am looking at a 1400VA / 980W UPS to run a single server with a usually not on monitor, a DSL modem and a simple switch. The server should generate about 330W in power consumption, the monitor another 50-100, the modem about 10 and the switch about another 10 watts.
So:
UPS: 1400VA
Server: 400W (liberal estimate)
Modem: 10W
Switch: 10W
Monitor: 75W
Total: 495W
According to a calculator if I enter all that information:
http://www.csgnetwork.com/upssizecalc.html
It says that it will use 693VA.
Enter that into http://www.csgnetwork.com/batterylifecalc.html
It requires Amps... 495W / 120 voltage = 4.125 amps... doesn't seem right but...
192 hours... that's not right, right?
