Please help with UPS surge protector.
Hello. I was looking at a surge protector for my PC with 850W PSU. I was checking out the surge protectors, and noticed that they have wattage.
The one I was looking at is 330W:
Newegg.com - CyberPower Standby Series CP550SLG 550 VA 330 Watts 8 Outlets UPS Replaces existing model# CP550SL
Does this matter? Should this surge protector be able to keep my computer on for a few minutes in case the power goes out?
The power in this place probably went out twice because they forget to pay their bills. But often, there have been times when the power would blink off for a second or 2, then come back on. Enough to shut off my computer.
