APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (Schuko)

The worst thing that can happen to you when you work on a computer is a power outage just before you finished working. The unsaved work is irretrievably lost, and you must start from scratch. Such catastrophic scenarios can be prevented by the APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (Schuko) replacement backup source. This is just another name for a large battery that provides power for all types of electronics. The APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (Schuko) UPS battery backup has the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is the most basic form when power fails because it switches to the internal battery for electric power. The line interactive UPS enhances the simpler off-line version of power protection to guard against dangerous surges and spikes.

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

• Backup power design: Line interactive
• Actual performance: 900 W
• UPC operation at full load for 1 min
• 4 Schuko power plugs

An important attribute is the UPS run time. This is governed by the power consumption of the connected devices – for example, at half-load (50%), the battery backup time will last a longer amount of time. The load of the backup source governs the operating time, which at full load (100%) is 1 min and at half-load, it's 6,5 min. It is therefore crucial to determine the power consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and ideally to add some spare power left. The APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (Schuko) measures the apparent power as 1600, but in reality, the actual power usage is 900 W.
