APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (IEC)

You've probably already experienced the nightmare of a power supply interruption just before you saved that important document. Your work has gone into the ether, and you have to start all over again. Similar heart-stopping situations can be averted by the APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (IEC) UPS. This is a large battery that provides power for all types of electronics. The APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (IEC) UPS has the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is the simplest form in case of a outage, since it switches to the internal battery for electric power. The line interactive UPS also adds data line surge suppression to prevent damage from electrical surges from the grid.

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

• Type of backup power supply: Line interactive
• Actual performance: 650 W
• At a 100% load, the UPC will work for 1 min
• 6 sockets (C13), as used for monitors, printers, or amplifiers

A key parameter is the UPS run time during outages. This depends on the energy consumption – for example, at half-load (50%), the backup time will be three times longer. The load of the backup source governs the operating time, which at full load is 1 min and at half the energy consumption, it is 5 min. It is therefore essential to estimate the power consumption of the connected appliances and ideally to add some spare power left. The APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (IEC) shows the apparent power as 1200, but with realistic use, the actual power usage is 650 W.
