Divide 3000VA by your line voltage to get the required amps. Here in the States, I'd need a 30A circuit at 120V and would absolutely have to run a new line from my breaker panel.

I have 220~240v, so that means I need > 14A then

Edit: hang on - that’s only true if the UPS recharges in exactly 1 hour. If it charges over two hours it needs less power

But it can draw more current than the line is rated for. Everything electrical is about "can", not "will".

Yep, I have a 3000va unit in my main basement rack. I had to run a 30A circuit for it.
