I am looking to replace two Powershield 1600VA UPS that I have sitting, inaccessible, at the bottom of my 12U under-desk rack, and I am hoping that a 3000VA 2U rack mount UPS will work for me. I have a windows workstation and a Linux server each in a in 4U case that need backup power. They currently stay up for about 40 minutes on the Powershield UPS if I am not (foreground) active on them.

Now comes the part I need help with - I’ve looked at datasheets, installation guides, and system specifications for about 20 different UPS that meet my above wish list all of which have IEC C19 input sockets, and none of the technical documents tell me what amperage I need for the supply. My home office is limited to 10A (Australian) GPOs, so I am hoping these UPS will work with that, so I don’t need to get an electrician out to run a new circuit.

Any help and or advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA
