UPS power requirements for server

Question

I have 3KVA ups and 1 server along with 2 CPU, 16 GB memory, 2HDD and 2*750W PSU. So how much time should I get as backup power.

Answer 1

Hi there,

You can use various tools like our UPS selector or tools provided by your own UPS manufacturer to find the time required. Please note it varies greatly depending upon various factors. You can take your load and runtime (runtime = how much time you will have on battery) requirements and filter down from there based on your other requirements (outlets, UPS topology, voltage, frequency, input cord, etc).

Hi @Ajeesh T ,

We cannot know how much backup power you will get, as it depends on your hardware usage (CPU/RAM etc.) of your applications, and remember that the hardware usage changes a lot, sometimes it may be a lot, sometimes less.

In general most UPS provide their own software, from there you should be able to see how long you can run your system on the backup/battery power.
