Back-UPS RS 900G reports wrong usage / load

[deniax]

Hi,

I bought a Back-UPS RS 900G , and connected my server to it.

For some reason, the APC is reporting only continiously usage load of 4% / 22 watt , which isnt correct as when Im doing load tests, the CPU and spinning HDD's make up to more wattage.

I connected a Tasmoto smart plug so that the connection is:

Server --> Smart plug --> APC

The smart plug reports peak usage of 200watt and goes up and down a lot based on the load, yet the APC reports only 4% / 22 wattage

Im reading this value diretly from the screen of the APC, not via any tools

What can it be?

What does the APC Power Chute Software indicate while the server is running?!?

If you still have incandescent bulbs say 100 watts. Connect at least 100-300 watts and report back what the LCD indicates vs PCPE Software. 

 
Only connect this resistive load while you test! 👍
