Hello, I am looking to buy a line-interactive ups. As far as I understand the ups power rating only comes into play when the power goes out and the inverter starts working. When mains power is available, the computer (in this case) can draw the full power the wall socket can provide. Is that correct?
Also, is it ok to buy a ups that can't support my computer's peak power draw? I understand that if I am doing something very power-intensive when the power goes out the ups won't be of any help but considering how rare that is I think its worth taking my chances.
Thanks for your advice.
