That's not a UPS, it's a transformer to regulate the power - the 5000W is the maximum power it can distribute
Use something like this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... which is still a TRIPP product.

between the answerers above claimed a working laptop or computer in use is like having on a 40watt bulb. properly, in the journey that your 40watt bulb attracts approximately a hundred and fifty-200watts, i might heavily ask for my money returned. i've got checked dissimilar the computers i've got owned with a capability-intake meter, and that they've a tendency to apply between a hundred and fifty-200watts. capability is measured in watt/hours, so a working laptop or computer like this left on for an hour might use 200watt/hours of electrical energy. those computers have had processors in the a million.5Ghz-2GHz variety. whilst you're making use of an exceedingly rapid processor and you do dissimilar gaming with a posh pictures card outfitted, you may desire to probable stick yet another one hundred-150watts onto that. A CRT visual show unit makes use of a honest quantity of capability too - my old 15inch one averages approximately 80watts. liquid crystal show video show instruments have a tendency to be much less capability hungry than CRTs. Leaving computers on whilst they are no longer in use isn't basically a waste of money yet of course additionally an uneccessary contribution to worldwide warming. yet another factor to remember is that digital components have constrained lifespans, usually measured in tens or 1000's of 1000's of hours. Capacitors (you will locate lots of those on your capability furnish and on your motherboard) have shorter lifespans than many different components, heavily shorter in the event that they're run in heat or warm environments.
