This unit will send the inrush through to the circuit. At that point, the breaker will trip but the APC will remain on allowing the pc to power on. I would recommend buying a larger APC that specifies the allowable inrush. Then you could unplug the APC from the wall to allow the PC to use the power from the APC to power on , then plug the APC back in to the outlet on the wall. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not going to help you. Current in = current out. So if you draw that many amps, you will still trip the breaker. All these do is protect your device from surge and blackouts. They have a rating and running more VA than it is rated or even at the higher end will shorten battery life or even trip internal breakers. Hard to believe a PC powet supply can draw that many amps. They dont even make outlets rated for more than 20amps and 15amp is what most residential outlets are rated.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for inquiry. The unit would have a maximum input current of 5 amps. This unit wouldn't support a PC power supply that has an inrush current of 46 amps.
