Understanding Power Terms
• Wattage - a measurement of real power (bucket)
• Amps - measurement of the rate of current flow (flow)
• Voltage - definition of the capacity (pipe)
• Formulas: Amps = Watts/Voltage
VA = Volts*Amps
PF = W/VA
So if server draws 500W how many Amps will it draw
at 110V and at 220V?
5.4A at 110V and 2.3A at 220V
• Most countries in EMEA run at 220-240V (World Trade)
• If you see 32A or 63A this show it is for World Trade
• If you see 30A or 60A this is an indication its for North America

The Power Factor is the Phase Difference between V and A
UPS needs to be able to provide both the kVA and the kW required by the load-
output p.f. indicates the multiplier from kVAs to kWs
Higher Output p.f. allows the UPS to be used with modern server loads without
having to upgrade to a larger kVA size

What is a UPS?
“An uninterruptible power supply [or system] is defined as a
back-up power system used to ensure uninterrupted power for
various electronic devices.”1
Uninterrupted power may be achieved in the following ways:
• Provides back-up power when utility power fails
• Either long enough for critical equipment to shut down sequentially, ensuring
no data is lost, or
• Long enough to operate required loads before a generator comes on-line
• Provides clean and regulated power to electronic devices

Why a UPS?
Cost of Downtime
•The power grid typically provides only about 99.9% reliability
•In other words, almost 9 hours of downtime per year!
•The total cost to the US of power interruptions is $80B annually1
•Momentary interruptions were responsible for 2/3 of this cost- thus, it is the length
of the downtime, not length of the interruption, that determines the cost
Electrical downtime is a source of substantial cost to our customers-
Accordingly, a UPS is an extremely cost-effective investment

Things to consider when choosing power backup
1. How critical is the load?
Different UPS technologies offer different protection
2. Power requirement in both Watt and VA?
As many of today’s servers use power factor corrected supplies, it is
important to look at both Watt and VA power needs to avoid over sizing.
3. How much backup time is needed?
4. What are your future power requirement?
5. Will you need hardwired installation?
6. What are your space requirements?
7. Determine heat dissipation
8. Do you want to monitor or control your system remotely?
