The APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (FR) UPS battery backup features the Line interactive design approach.

APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (FR) Backup Power Supply Key Features

• Backup power supply type: Line interactive
• Actual performance: 650 W
• UPC operation at full load for 1 min

A key parameter is how long the UPS will function when the electricity is off. This depends on the power consumption of the connected appliances – for example, at half-load (50%), the UPS power time lasts much longer. The load of the backup source determines the operating time, which at maximum load is 1 min and at half-load, it's 5 min. It is therefore essential to determine the energy consumption of the connected appliances and ideally to have some spare energy in reserve. The APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (FR) measures the apparent power as 1200, but realistically, the actual power usage is 650 W.
