I still don't understand.

Isn't one VA equal to one watt? A watt is a volt-amp.

How can a unit be both 425 VA and 275 Watt?

By the way, you have also given the APC units rating in units of "VA".
So, does this mean that it will be less than 275-watts output?

Yes, the 350VA UPS is 200W. Of course they also make bigger sizes, for
more $$$. For most applications where you have a home PC and just need
'ride through' capability for those intermittent power glitches, the
350VA system is fine.
