Wiring up for some new lab equipment. The suppliers of the equipment recommend (in the US) a 5200VA UPS to support the equipment. They recommend a 3600VA UPS for the same equipment in the UK. The purchasers of the equipment are asking me if a 3600VA UPS will do it. I responded that we should go by their recommendations.
My first question is, "Is the UK 50Hz?" My next one is, "Is that the reason for the lower VA rating?", since inductive reactance is directly proportional to frequency. Or, am I way off?
