FAQ
What is the power capacity of this UPS?
The Ubiquiti UPS-TOWER-US provides 1 kVA (1000VA) apparent power and 600W real power capacity. This rating determines how much equipment it can support during an outage, suitable for small servers, networking gear, or multiple workstations.
How many outlets does this UPS have and what types?
This unit features 10 total outlets: 5 offer both battery backup and surge protection, while 5 provide surge protection only. The receptacles are NEMA 5-15R type, plus two RJ-45 ports for dataline protection of network connections.
What is the backup runtime at full and half load?
At full 600W load, the UPS provides approximately 2 minutes of runtime. At half load (300W), runtime extends to about 7 minutes. These times allow for safe shutdown of connected equipment during power interruptions.
What type of waveform does this UPS produce?
This UPS generates a simulated sine wave output, which is compatible with most modern electronics including computers, networking equipment, and peripherals. It provides cleaner power than stepped approximations while being more cost-effective than pure sine wave units.
