New APC UPS didn't even give a back up of 2 seconds
use 3 pin power cable with PSU. 5 amp / 15 amp does not matter unless you are planning to draw more than 1200W from wall socket.
2 pin cable provided with psu is for UK and some other countries wall socket - wall sockets with built in header for earthing / grounding.

They know that, right? India do have that third pin. Why they supply a 2 pin cable which is of no use to us? I had to use my old cable because of this two pin issue.

^^ Same question. If they sell the product in India they already know that we need 3 pin power cables. Then why 2 pins in the PSU? Anyways I plugged in the 2 pin power cable to new UPS (APC BR1000G-IN) as 3 pin spare cables from Seasonic aint available in SP Road, Bangalore (checked a lotta shops today including the big names likes Golcha & Ankit) & no issues so far but still I dont get the confidence as when I switch on my Skylake i5 6500 rig with Corsair CX500M. I gotta be careful when buying Seasonic PSUs in the future. Not only I - all Indians.
