Hello, I used an online UPS calculation for my Desktop PC and its monitor, it displayed that i have to buy an UPS with 1500VA/900W . The problem is that in my country it is not available, i found only an 2000VA/1200w UPS. So it is safe to buy an UPS with higher values ? Thanks in advance.

If my computer's PSU is 1200W (Corsair AX1200), would that mean I'd need a UPS that was 1200W? I realize that the 1200W is the capacity of the PSU and not the load, but I was just wondering whether at startup (or similar) the wattage rating of the PSU might be relevant in selecting a proper UPS...

So, today i had a power outage in my area, and I had to shut down my computer immediately. After that, I turned off the UPS without turning the PSU switch to off.

Hello guys, I have 1 question about getting a UPS for my PC. I've read a few threads in this forum and around the internet. I've managed to understand that I need to get a Pure Wave UPS. One thing I cant figure out is the wattage I need, and what brand is most trusted. What software can I use...

I've been wondering if it's safe to plug an 1500VA/900W UPS in the same outlet as the 5000 BTU window air conditioner is connected in a duplex receptacle. Can that affect the connected appliances/devices in some way if they're both running? Living with a power grid of 120V/60Hz and having 2...
