My new apartment comes with full amenities, including (what seems to be) daily short power interruptions, usually less than 1 minute in length. I'd like to get no-break power, something like an APC power system, just for the two system boxes (not the monitor, printer, etc.) Each system has a 300 watt power supply, which I think is lightly loaded. I was wondering if anyone who has experience with power (I don't) could give me a SWAG as to the VA load I need to run to be able to allow for ignoring 1 minute outages, and allowing 4 minutes extra for system auto-shutdown if it runs longer? ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 220-2114 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
