FOR ANYONE WITH A WATT or POWER METER: How much -additional- POWER(watts, amps) does this REQUIRE above the norm ? (Powered Devices -vs- PD + UPS)
1045066
With no load and in idle state, the INTERNET600U and all our Internet Office UPSs shouldn't be drawing more than 1 amp. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to reach out to Tripp Lite's Presales Applications Team at (773)869-1773 or presaleshelp@tripplite.com.

Sorry for the delayed response. I do not have the means to measure the surge current capability of the product, or the number of joules that the product can provide. You just have to contact the factory for this type of info. I am conservative in powering the equipment, the UPS is used to power TV, DirectTV DVR, PS3 and a network hub. Total power is less than 500W.

Sorry for the late reply:I think the wattage is calculated using an algorithm (speed, incline, etc.). I have never used a power meter before so I am afraid I cannot comment on how accurate it is.

This is why I hooked my 520 watts of panels in series so you halve the amperage. I can add another 2 panels in the future and still keep it under 30 amps. Remember too that the charge controller can charge a normal 12v battery bank, that's what mine is. I recommend making a 24v panel setup.

I would find out how many amps/watts your device draws and check against what the Garmin supplies. A G P S device doesn't require many watts/amps to operate.

It is all according to how much amps or watts is being drawn. look at device and see what is the total wattage of the deivice being supported. There is a reating table that will show how long each APC will supply power to the wattage being drawn. hopes this helps

Your device will only draw as much power (ma) as it needs. As long as the voltage is ok and required ma is at or above the needed level, you should be just fine.

It does not need additional supply, however, I would buy cheap UPS (from Costco) so that it can stay up for for few minutes.I would check the Amp requirement on your circuit as they do consume a bit more power.I am running 4 of them at my shop.Thanks

I believe this meter unit works for up to 7500 running watts. It sounds like yours is 6000 running watts with a surge of 7000 watts. Yes; this will work for you.

You can approximate your UPS requirements by examining the power supply for your hub. This isn't the same as measuring actual power draw (which would be lower). If it's 5V @ 1A as N. Ramon suggests, then you need 5 watts. It is NOT going to be 1A @ 120v as IPPete stated - that's 120 watts which is far too much for an embedded device to require. I assume he misread or made a typo. This will run forever on the smallest UPS. But you'll want to be sure your UPS can also support your cable modem, and wireless router - these use more power (but not much... you can still get away with a small UPS if you need a few hours coverage). If you REALLY want to measure power draw, you want to buy a 'Kill a Watt" outlet device and measure wattage over 2-3 days, then divide by the days. This is totally unnecessary but it's how you know what the power draw is for everything you own.

I think the question was... will this unit use 44 watts of power no matter the load? ie... will this unit still consume 44 wats if you only have a 5 watt load...My best guess is it will only use what it delivers to the load plus some wasted power in the 120 to 12 volt conversion process as there are no 100% efficient methods of conversion.

The device reads that it outputs 4.75 amps and 90 watts max. It has powered anything I've thrown at it including my iPad (which requires a fair amount of output).

I have, without incident so far. But this is likely much more wattage than required and multi-tap function less relevant. (Depends on application)

It only shows runtime, load capacity and voltage. For watts you should look into a kill-a-watt device like this one: http://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU I have one of those and it works great. Plug it in before the unit, then plug the unit into it and you will have the watt display of the whole ups.

The unit has a UL label on the bottom that says 1500 watts. I doubt if it actually uses quite that much power. I don't have a clamp on amp meter and decline to build a rig to measure the voltage and current while it is in use. You could measure the amount of water, the temperature change and calculate the power required presuming perfect efficiency. All of that I decline to do as well. Sorry all I got is the 1500 watts.If you are worried about current draw on a given circuit I expect that this thing will draw around 12 to 13 amps. That is a guess not a professional opinion.

The voltage specs being requested are presumably for the output voltage, not the AC input, which is standard throughout the U.S As for amperage, that's a measurement of the current capacity of the charger. Larger equipment requires more current. It's necessary to get both numbers right. Too much voltage can damage the device. Too little current won't run the device and might also cause damage. You can figure the power consumed by multiplying the amperage by the voltage. 5V @.1 amps = .5 W.

I it is meant for electronics. Not higher amp appliances. It will keep them running for while until power comes back on. How long depends on how many items are attached. But don't expect any ups to run more than 30 to an hour.
