Which UPS to choose for HP?

[Robert Comber]

Hello,

We are trying to select a large UPS from among several vendors and are a little confused. Some of them list output in watts and some of the specify it in Volt Amps. How do I compare these?

Thanks for any help,
Bob

This is really a question that you should direct towards your vendors but I suppose that I answered about as well as I could here. I am somewhat reluctant to resurrect this rather infamous
thread but if the shoe fits ... .

Hello,

A. Clay that was a great answer!. Your first response was absolutely wonderful and cleared everything up. Your second response makes me hope I never make you mad.

Thanks for your help and I'm still laughing,
Bob
