ups.load: 31
Percentage of max load, as reported by the UPS itself.
Its a 1500 WA rated supply. If that is the percentage of the max
load it
can support, then there obviously is plenty of margin available to
extend a
drop cord to a legacy computer in the basement that normally runs
headless
because I usually work on it from here with a minicom session to a
shell
started to a serial port on it. That would help protect it from
locally
induced lightning cause emp's, which have caused degraded usb hubs
in the
past. However, that load would have to include a brother B&W laser
printer, and they are hungry, with dim the lights startup draws.
Humm. I
think I just shot that idea down in flames.
I tend to keep printers on the surge-suppressed-only outlets.
If that is a percentage, the report should add a % to that line in
the next
incarnation. ;)
...or you could use a GUI for that ;-)
We've tried to keep the output simple and machine-parseable. All of
the units are listed in the new user manual (as well as the text files
in older versions of the documentation):
