• When choosing a base, mid-level, or premium Power Conditioning system, an
upgrade to the next level may be required if problems arise. This could be due to
power problems generated by the power company or other equipment in the
building.
AC Power Consumption and Volt-Amp Ratings for MICROS
Equipment
The following information is provided to assist in calculating the UPS and power
conditioner size requirements. The ratings for MICROS workstations and peripheral
equipment are close to actual. When using the actual ratings, add 20% to the total to
account for variations in your systems power consumption.
The Ampere and Volt-Ampere ratings listed below assume a 120Volt AC ~10%, single
phase, 60 Hz ~3% input.
