What is the difference between Voltage-Amps (VA) and watts and how do I properly size my UPS? - Power Solutions

in simple terms watt rating is ~60-70% of VA rating.it is the watt rating which matters to you because this is the actual power supplied by ups & required by your system.

backup time depends on the no. & size of batteries used inside ups along with load.
