APC has a wattage calc on their site for sizing UPS's. Its very good and will work for what you are trying to do. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ralph Smith To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 4:03 PM Subject: Wattage Calculation
Can anyone help me out and educate me on something? We are having some work done, and I was asked if I could supply the total wattage for all the equipment in our server room. I thought I could use the specs from the tag on each item, take the total number of amps, and multiply by 110 to get watts. What is throwing me off is that if I look one of our typical desktop PCs it is 6.3 A at 110 volts, so it would be 693 watts. The power supply is 300W max, so something seems to be wrong with my thinking. What would be the correct way to do this?
