I think 600VA should be good enough, check this site to confirm Power Supply Calculator - PSU Calculator | OuterVision

I think its better to go with CyberPower 1KV UPS or APC 1KV UPS. Which ever is cheaper the better.

Power supply calculator Result, Kindy reconfirm why 1k UPS is required for my requirement?

1kva ups is not required,600va ups will suffice for this load.

CyberPower available in India?
What about After sales service?

It is available in India. I bought a 500va some 3-4 years back. after 2 years it started malfunctioning so i dropped it in dustbin and bought APC so no idea about after sales service.

Cyberpower after sales support is not as good as APC though.

Really then APC is best and I will not suggest CyberPower to anybody then.
Thanks for the headsup.

Well APC support is better but that does not make it best for everyone.I think some Indian brands like Vguard have good & not so costly after sales support in some parts of India(Vguard support is considered good in South India as I have been told).

i found APC support very good in my last office. we had some 35-40 500va ups. that model had some manufacturing defect - its button used to break and get stuck. every time that happened, we called up their number. some one used to come with a replacement on a rickshaw trolley & replace it. he always asked me to write on his slip the problem.
i bought APC last year only because of this.

Actually corporate support is always better than individual customer support in most cases.

APC is very good but since the OP asked for a cheaper solution I suggested CyberPower.
APC RMA guys would visit the house and do the RMA themselves if its little or we need to take the UPS to the local service centre which is West Maredpally in Secunderabad.
