Topology first, then the gap between the VA figure and the watt figure · review

Green Cell UPS01LCD, line-interactive at 360 W, with a VA figure given twice and differently review

A line-interactive unit whose watt figure is printed three times without changing, whose volt-ampere figure appears as one number in the title and as a range in two bullets, and whose backup time is quoted with no load behind it.

By Jean-Benoit Buisson

The bottom line Line-interactive, 360 W, a stated waveform and a described battery: four answers most of this shelf leaves blank. Against them, a volt-ampere rating printed two different ways and a backup time with nothing underneath it.

On the listing

A 600 VA line-interactive uninterruptible power supply at 230 V with automatic voltage regulation, 360 W and an LCD display; full protection claimed for connected equipment through cuts and peaks, with an orderly shutdown named as the point of it; apparent power given as 600 VA to 999 VA and a total output of 360 W, with AGM batteries said to hold steady parameters; a transfer to battery of 2 to 6 milliseconds and a backup time of up to 20 minutes depending on the load; management software that sends notifications, programmes emergency running times and draws live charts from a computer; and a closing line listing a modified sine wave output, two Schuko sockets, one 12 V 7 Ah battery, apparent power of 600 VA to 999 VA and power of 360 W.

600 volt-amperes in the title, 600 to 999 in the bullets

One page, two answers. The title sells the unit at 600 VA. The second bullet and the fifth both give the apparent power as a band running from 600 to 999 VA, which is how a figure is written when it covers more than one model. Nothing on the page reconciles them, and this site does not pick the flattering one or the modest one: both are reported as printed. It is worth noticing which figure wobbles. The one that moves is the marketing figure.

360 watts, printed three times

Title, second bullet, fifth bullet, and the same number each time. That consistency matters more than it looks, because real power is what a load is sized against. Whatever the band of volt-amperes is meant to cover, the watt rating of this unit is stated plainly and stated identically in three places, and the consumption of everything to be plugged in can be measured against it.

Twenty minutes, at a load the page never names

The third bullet gives up to 20 minutes and adds that it depends on the load. The second half of that sentence is true and it undoes the first: a runtime with no load attached describes a battery rather than a situation. One page in this batch quotes minutes against a stated number of watts, and reading the two side by side shows what the difference is worth. Here the dependency is named and the load is not.

The modified sine wave, and who asks about it

A stepped approximation, stated outright in the fifth bullet. On battery the output climbs in flat steps rather than following a curve. Network equipment, simple supplies and motors take it. Some computer power supplies with active power factor correction do not, and the maker of that power supply is the one who says so. Stating the waveform at all puts this page ahead of five of the eight here, which say nothing about it in either direction.

Before ordering

Ask which volt-ampere figure belongs to this unit, and ask for minutes at a stated number of watts. Then put the waveform to the manufacturer of whatever will be plugged in, using that manufacturer’s own documentation rather than a general rule.

Where it holds up, and where it stops

Strengths

The topology is named in the title rather than left to follow from the presence of automatic voltage regulation
The watt figure is printed three times without changing, which is the rating a load has to fit inside
The waveform is stated, and stated precisely enough to be put to the maker of a connected power supply

Compromises

The volt-ampere rating is one number in the title and a band four hundred volt-amperes wide in two bullets
The twenty-minute backup time is quoted against no load, in the same sentence that says it depends on one
The software is described at length and the port it speaks over is never named

Specifications

Topology	Line-interactive — printed in the title, beside the automatic voltage regulation that goes with it. In that arrangement a supply which is merely low or high is corrected through a transformer instead of calling on the battery
Stated classification	Not published on the listing — no classification code from the standard appears, on a page that does name the topology in words
VA rating	Two figures on one page — 600 VA in the title, and a band of 600 VA to 999 VA in the second and fifth bullets. Both are reported here as printed, and neither is chosen over the other
Watt rating	360 W — given in the title, in the second bullet as a total output and again in the fifth bullet as the power. It is the same figure all three times, and it is the rating a connected load is added up against
Stated runtime at a named load	Not published on the listing at a named load — the third bullet gives a backup time of up to 20 minutes and says it depends on the load, without naming the load it was quoted against
Output waveform	Modified sine wave — stated in the fifth bullet. It is a stepped approximation rather than a curve, and it is stated plainly enough to be checked against a power supply that objects to one
Socket count	Two — stated in the fifth bullet
Socket type	Schuko — stated in the fifth bullet. Whether either socket is filtered only rather than battery-backed is not said
Battery type	One 12 V, 7 Ah AGM battery — the second bullet names the AGM construction and the fifth gives the voltage, the capacity and the count
Battery replaceability	Not published on the listing — the battery is described in detail and nothing says whether the pack can be changed by the owner or how it is reached
Communication port	Not published on the listing — the fourth bullet describes software that manages the unit from a computer, sends notifications and draws live charts, and never names the socket that carries any of it
Amazon reference	B08RZS5YBH (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
EAN	5902701419615

The questions that come up before an order

Which volt-ampere figure applies, 600 or the band up to 999?

The page does not say, and this site does not choose. The title sells the unit at 600 VA; two bullets describe the apparent power as 600 to 999 VA, which is the shape of a figure written for a family of units rather than for one of them. What does not move is the watt rating: 360 W in all three places. Where a volt-ampere figure and a watt figure differ in how firmly they are stated, the watt figure is the one a load is added up against anyway.

What does a modified sine wave change?

It changes what can be put behind the unit. On battery, a stepped output approximates the mains in a few flat steps rather than following a curve. Motors, simple supplies and most network equipment take it without complaint. Some computer power supplies with active power factor correction do not, and either refuse to run or behave unpredictably. The manufacturer of that power supply is the source on the question, not the maker of the unit and not a page of comparisons; this one reports the waveform and stops there.
