Question

you are helping a co - worker order a ups to each pc in her remote office location. what rating is used to specify the size of a ups?
☐ voltamps
☐ va
☐ watts
☐ volts

Explanation:

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) size is specified by its power - handling capacity, which is measured in Volt - Amperes (VA) or Watts. However, the standard rating to specify the size of a UPS is VA (Volt - Amperes) as it takes into account both the voltage and current (apparent power), while Watts is real power. Volts measure just voltage and is not a rating for the size (capacity) of a UPS. So the correct option is the one with VA.

Answer:

B. VA
