When do you require a 15A input over a 10A one? (Noob)

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-29

Hi all. I'm sure this is a basic question but I'm struggling to understand at which size UPS you would require a 10A power input to a UPS and when you'd require a 15/16A input. Is there a correlation between the UPS size (eg 1.5 KVA) and the connection from 230V mains power being either a 10A feed or a 15/16A feed? I can't seem to find (understand) how this is framed in the technical specs of the UPS's I need to scope for. Eg. does a 2200VA UPS require a 10A input or a 15A input? How do I go about figuring that out?

Anyone who could explain this to me would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Oops. Found it. The IEC-320 C20 reference is 15/16A. That was the key part I didn't understand.

I feel a bit stupid 😉
