Computer UPS under ₹5000

Nothing can derail you while working on a computer like a power cut. Unexpected blackouts can not only lose your unsaved work but also predispose your computer to multiple problems. At their utmost severity, blackouts cause acute disruptions in medical facilities and other businesses. Even so, big companies such as banks and hospitals have backup generators that are up in a few seconds. But you cannot spend several lakhs buying a diesel backup generator for your PC. To cater to these small-scale power needs, and especially to prevent sudden PC shutdown, you need a UPS (Uninterrupted power supply).

A UPS gives you several minutes while working on your PC, even after a blackout. During this time frame, you can save all the work you were working on and safely shut the computer down. UPS also prevents hardware damage in the case of a powerful power surge.

A reliable UPS should never be bulky. Of course, you don’t want to drag a UPS the size of a small generator onto your carpet at home. Even in offices, fairly sized UPS systems come in handy for saving space in cubicles.

Are you looking for a reliable UPS for your 550W PSU? Any desktop UPS with a load capacity of 400W and more will work fine for computers with a 550W PSU. Thus, you need a minimum of 1000VA UPS to power a computer with a 600W or 650W PSU, though.

Those using a gaming system should get at least an 800VA UPS.
