Understanding Your Power Protection Needs

Choosing the right UPS capacity isn't just about numbers - it's like finding the perfect pair of shoes for a marathon. Too small, and your equipment stumbles during outages. Too large, and you're paying for unused capacity. Let's break down how businesses can make smart UPS selection decisions while optimizing costs.

Key Factors in UPS Capacity Selection

• Connected Load Calculation: Add up all equipment wattage (servers + switches + storage)
• Runtime Requirements: How long should systems stay operational during outages?
• Future Expansion: Typical 20-30% buffer for growth
• Efficiency Targets: Look for 94-96% efficiency models

Load (kW)	Basic UPS Price	Runtime @ 15min
5	$2,500-$4,000	$800 battery add-on
10	$5,000-$7,500	$1,500 battery add-on

Industry Trends Shaping UPS Selection
