Comment on UPS input load

SuperiorOne@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

UPS devices normally uses wall (input) power, and switches to battery when input voltage is out of the target thresholds. So, input.load should represent the percentage of current wall power (in VA) relative to UPS’s max rated input power (VA). If your devices uses more power, input power from wall should increase as well.

If it’s peaking in certain times, it could be due some scheduled job temporarily increase CPU frequency, or automated tasks like file system snapshot might power-up/spin drives longer than regular usage.
