Calculate Volt-Amperage Requirements
To determine the size of UPS that you need:
- Locate the voltage and amperage requirements for
each piece of equipment.
These numbers are usually found on a
sticker on the back or bottom of your equipment.
- Multiply the numbers together to get Volt-Amperes (VA):
VA = Volts x Amperes
- Add the VA from all the pieces of equipment together to find the total VA
requirement.
To determine the minimum volt-amperage requirements for your UPS, add 30% to
the total.
