Step 2
Check the watts.
These are useful starting values—not measurements. Replace them with readings from a watt meter or the equipment label.

How should the outage end?
Give active work time to react, then enough time for a controlled shutdown. Five extra minutes are added as a safety margin.
Your planning target
See suitable UPS routes ↓240W load. At least 300W UPS output.
Plan for approximately 25 minutes of protected time, then verify that duration on the manufacturer’s runtime chart at your real load.
- 1DetectMake sure the outage is noticed.
- 2PreserveSave or hand off active work.
- 3Close safelyStop services in the right order.
- 4RecoverConfirm power is stable before restart.
Before plugging in
Not every outlet keeps running.
A UPS can have battery-backed outlets and surge-only outlets on the same rear panel. Put only the essential computer, storage and network path on battery backup.
- Keep laser printers, heaters and other high-draw devices off the battery outlets.
- Protect the router, modem and switch if remote alerts need the internet.
- Test notification, shutdown and restart with the real equipment.
Why the planner does not promise runtime
UPS runtime is not a simple VA-to-minutes conversion. Battery condition, conversion losses and the manufacturer’s discharge curve all matter. Use this page to set the required load and time, then confirm both on the exact model’s official runtime chart.
