A 650VA UPS suits an office or home PC with one monitor. Choose a 1200VA UPS for a gaming PC with a graphics card or for a PC with extra devices. As a guide, a UPS can supply about 60 percent of its VA rating in watts.
How long will a UPS keep my computer running?
A UPS of this size gives you a few minutes on battery. That is enough time to save your work and shut down safely. It is not meant to run a computer through a long power cut.
What does line interactive mean?
A line interactive UPS corrects low and high mains voltage without switching to its battery. This protects your PC from the brownouts and surges that are common during power cuts.
Can I connect a printer to the UPS?
Inkjet printers are fine. Do not connect a laser printer, because it draws a large burst of power when it starts and can overload the UPS.
Which UPS brands do you stock?
We stock Prolink and Zima line interactive UPS units in 650VA and 1.2kVA sizes. You can collect from our Maharagama or Nugegoda branch.
