This is governed by the power consumption of the connected devices – for example, at half-load (50%), the backup time will last a longer amount of time. The load of the UPS determines the operating time, which at maximum load is 0,5 min and at half the energy consumption, it is 5 min. It is therefore essential to determine the energy consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and it is a good idea to have some extra power left.
