Is this surge protector enough for this PC?

[Hiya!]

This one https://www.apc.com/shop/hr/en/products/APC-Essential-SurgeArrest-5-oulets-230V-Germany/P-PM5-GR has maximum input current of 10Amp and will be used For this :

i5 6500

RX 470

Typical Gaming monitor

2HDD

2 Gaming peripherals

550W Seasonic Focus

You wanna look at how many joules it can handle. Looking at joules tells you how much energy the surge protector can absorb before it fails. This one can handle 918Joules, which I would think is enough protection for your setup (and APC is a solid brand, I don't use any-other brand for UPS's).

But what about the maximum input current?

Uh thats not my setup its my relative..

My bad! I thought that's what you were asking ^^;

 

Take a look at the power requirements for your PSU, monitors, etc. If they require more than 10amps, then you'd need find another one. If memory serves me right, when it says "10amps" it's per outlet on the unit.

It show like this and i dont get it..

.

Does that means i need one that support up to 45Amp?

10A at 230V are 2300 Watts,

thats more than enough for your setup.

You probably can connect up to 4 setups similar to this an be fine.

 

Also your power grid (there is surely another word for this but i cannot remember it, in German it is Stromnetz or Stromkreis or Sicherungskreis) has probably a B13(max 13 amps permanent) or B10(10A permanent) current surge.

no thats the amperage of the individual rails at 3.3V 5V and 12V.

your power supply has 550Watts that are 550W/230V = 2.4A

That means, your powersupply needs max 2.4A (That value is theoretical, if incounter efficiency it is not 100% correct, picture in the spoiler)

Spoiler

 

this power supply needs 5amps at 230V at maximum, you won't come close to this value in normal use.

I might be remembering my info wrong in that case, my bad.

Ok i also check the PSU it says 8/5 on the input current so it should be enough right?

Maybe someone knows what I mean and can provide a better explanation?
