“I am considering to buy this UPS for my two office desktop, two associated 22'' LCD screens and a printer. I wonder if this UPS will support all these electronics. If so for what duration. I have power cuts very often in my basement office.”

This UPS is rated at 900 watts output. At half the load (450 watts) it will keep your devices running for 13 minutes. At full load (900 watts) it can supply power for 2 minutes. Note that the power draw versus up time is not linear. So you would need to add up the power consumption of all the devices you need running during power loss. For example, a typical 22 inch LCD display consumes between 25-35 watts. So worst case I would say you need about 70 watts just for your 2 displays. Add in the power for the printer and the 2 PCs. If it comes in around 450 watts, you can run for about 13 minutes. If it's closer to 900 watts then you'll have about 2 minutes - enough to save everything and power down gracefully.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later."Unfortunately, you need to provide more information on the PC wattage to properly assess whether this UPS will fulfill your needs. A basic Dell 3000 series uses a 180W or 240W power supply. Assuming a 240W power supply and 20W for the LCDs, you are looking at 520W of max power. That will give you about 10-12 minutes of run-time. Its not recommended to have a printer plugged into the battery backup outlet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Laser printer's should never be connected to a UPS. They will overload/damage the unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should calculate how many volt amps you need and go from there. I think it would run those nicely for a while, but you might be able to get by with a cheaper one that does ~900VA.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a brand new one that has much more hooked up to it than you do. Calculates standby time of around 260 mins. Get one. You can depend on it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Approx 15 to 30 minutes of power
