I have a 1000 kVA UPS (I assume it's a standby UPS), described on the case as a Proline. In the specifications, the transfer time is given as 8ms typical, 10ms max, including detection and transfer (but I have no way of testing this).
Thanks to the previous replies to my query about this UPS, it seems as if the UPS is either faulty or is just an inferior product. In any event, I'm still reluctant to run my PC on it. I'm therefore still only using it for a 60W reading lamp. (The lamp flicks off and on briefly when there's a power failure).
Is it possible to tell how the current is distributed between the lamp and the UPS battery? In other words, if I keep only this lamp on all the time while the UPS is plugged into the mains, is the UPS battery charging up or will it eventually run down? Or isn't it that simple?
