Thank you for your interest in our products. The power in Watts is the real power drawn by the equipment. Volt-Amps is called the "apparent power" and is the product of the voltage applied to the equipment times the current drawn by the equipment. However, it is a standard in the industry that the Watt rating is approximately 60% of the VA rating, this being the typical power factor of common loads. This is why the two numbers are different on the UPS. For more information please check out this knowledge base article. https://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA157485/
