Protect Playstation from Power outage and Surges
I live in a place where occasional power outages occur. And on experience I have had one PS3 broken after a power outage without using any UPS or AVR. Now that I will be getting a PS4, will a power supply with 325W be able to support the PS4? The UPS also has a power surge protection and may I ask will this be enough and is it a good fit for the PS4 or should I get a higher one. The brand specifically I'm planning on buying is this APC BX625 or this one APC BR500 CI-AS 500VA.
Best Answer
The highest power rating used by the PS4 that I have seen is ~150W. However, the wiki states:
The PS4 is powered via an internal "universal" 110–240 V AC power supply, with a maximum power rating of 250 W.

So simply plugged it directly into the wall for now (will get a good surge protector later) and it solved most of my issues and now Valhalla isn't freezing much anymore. Haven't tried my other games but I'm sure they'll be fine too! Tl:Dr just make sure your ps5 is plugged into a reliable power source.This mistake could damage your Playstation..
