The only trouble with this is that a lot of cheaper UPS units use a stepped output and not true sinusiodal which as a whole is inefficient.
In fact mostly only UPS units that are classed as inline and not standby are true sinusoidal. And then there is the power factor to account for as well.
And something else to bear in mind for generators, inverters and UPS's is that VA does not equal Watts, as a very rough idea take the KVA rating and multiply by 0.7 for watts and then you can work out the max current.
As I said very rough guide so don't flame me for inaccuracies, I know there is a lot more to it than that.
