This is the range for a gaming PC, a workstation or a desk with several monitors. Look at the watt rating: units run from 500 to 1,600 W for the same VA label. The sine wave models, including the new lithium units, cost more than the simulated sine wave ones but are the safer choice for active-PFC power supplies.
