Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Re: power usage
I have retested the Tripplite UPS and an APC UPS. As far as I can
tell the Tripplite does consume 10+ watts at all times. Oddly when I
connect a low load, less than 1A, into the Tripplite the ammeter
reads a little lower then when nothing is connected. It could just be
that the Tripplite has a crummy power factor. I would need better
equipment to figure it out.
The APC UPS behaves as expected. It draws close to 2w. It does not
show the odd spikes of current draw either. The APC is an older basic
200VA model. I used to seem them under cash registers all the time at
the grocery stores.
