UPS for my PSU or build?

[ThePinkCastle]

Hello mga Istoryans,

Naa npd koy pangutana. Hapit na mahuman ang akong first DIY build, ang ako nlg problema kay ang UPS. Ni-contact nako ni MR. Google pero wala ko masatisfy sa akong nabasahan kay mag depende man sa brand/make.

Ang akong nabantayan nga UPS diri sa Cebu kay Intex ug APC. Ang APC medyo mahal(quality) so murag ari ko paingon sa Intex kay murag mao nalang ang makaya sa budget(actually, nanubra na gane ko sa akong budget for the whole build ).

Ang akong PSU kay Seasonic m12ii 520W then need kog UPS para matarong ug shutdown ang PC in-case mawala ang kuryente.

Ang pangutana! Unsa nga Intex akong paliton(kanang "VA" like 600VA)? Mas maayo unta kung base jd sa inyong experience ang tubag, kanang pareho tag PSU gigamit para apples to apples.


Salamat

Examples where a sizing problem can occur
.
Example #1 : Consider the case of a typical 1000VA UPS. The user wants to power a 900W heater with the UPS. The heater has a Watt rating of 900W and a VA rating of 900VA with a power factor of 1. Although the VA rating of the load is 900VA, which is within the VA rating of the UPS, the UPS will probably not power this load. That is because the 900W rating of the load exceeds the Watt rating of the UPS, which is most likely 60% of 1000VA or around 600W.
.
Example #2 : Consider the case of a 1000VA UPS. The user wants to power a 900VA file server with the UPS. The file server has a Power Factor Corrected power supply, and so has a Watt rating of 900W and a VA rating of 900VA. Although the VA rating of the load is 900VA, which is within the VA rating of the UPS, the UPS will not power this load. That is because the 900W rating of the load exceeds the Watt rating of the UPS, which is 60% of 1000VA or around 600W.

Get a UPS that has:
1) Soft Switch
2) USB port that can communicate with your system
3) Can run at least 7-12 minutes when the power goes out
4) Good UPS/PC shutdown management software/driver

I don't recommend Intex (but it's up to you).

Go for:
APC
TrippLite
CyberPower

Spend the extra $$, you won't regret it.
