It *must* be measured, it *can't* be calculated by multiplying 'ups.power' with a fixed value. In not too ancient computer PSU's, the code as it is will underreport the active power (the power that heats up your server rack) by as much as more than 50%. We certainly don't want that, so in my opinion this *must* be removed if it is not reporting the actual value. I'm fine with the other changes (and leaving in some others) you made.
