Choosing a UPS
In Lebanon a UPS is less about long outages and more about the seconds between the grid and the generator - and protecting equipment from the surge when power returns.
Sizing
Add up the wattage of everything you will connect, then choose a UPS rated at least 20 to 30% higher. Check the watt rating, not just the VA figure.
Type
Line-interactive units suit PCs and home offices. Online (double-conversion) units give the cleanest power for servers and sensitive equipment on unstable supply.
Routers and small devices
A mini DC UPS powers a router or fibre box for hours from its own battery, far longer than a big UPS would for the same price.
Common questions about ups & power
How long will a UPS run my PC?
It depends on the load. A typical 1000 VA unit runs a desktop PC and monitor for roughly 5 to 15 minutes - enough to save your work or bridge a generator switchover.
Do I need a pure sine wave UPS?
PCs with active-PFC power supplies are most reliable on pure sine wave output. Cheaper simulated-sine units can cause shutdowns under load.
