APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC)

You've probably already experienced the nightmare of a power supply interruption a few seconds before you wanted to save your work. Your work has gone into the ether, and you have to start again from scratch. Such catastrophic scenarios can be forestalled by the APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC) replacement backup source. In principle, this hardware is just a large battery that provides power for all types of computers and devices that need electricity to function. The APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC) backup power features the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is seen as the simplest form if the electricity is interrupted, since it switches to the internal battery for electric power. The line interactive UPS enhances the simpler off-line version of data line surge suppression to guard against dangerous surges travelling along data lines.

APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC) Backup Power Supply Key Features

• Backup power design: Line interactive
• Actual performance: 900 W
• UPC operation at full load for 1 min
• 6 connects with C13 sockets, with devices such as monitors, LCD screens and printers

The most important parameter is the UPS run time during outages. This is governed by the energy consumption – for example, at half-load (50%), the battery backup time will last a longer amount of time. The load of the UPS governs the operating time, which at full load (100%) is 1 min and at a load of 50%, it's 6,5 min. It is therefore crucial to determine the energy consumption of the connected electronics and it is a good idea to have some spare energy in reserve. The APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC) measures the apparent power as 1600, but with realistic use, the actual power usage is 900 W.
