APC Back-UPS BX 950VA (Schuko)

The worst thing that can happen to you when you work on a computer is a power outage a few seconds before your work was about to be automatically saved. Your work has gone into the ether, and you have to start all over again. Repeats of such tragedies can be prevented by the APC Back-UPS BX 950VA (Schuko) backup source, or UPS. This hardware is practically a premium battery backup that powers all types of electronics. The APC Back-UPS BX 950VA (Schuko) UPS battery backup features the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is classified as the most basic form if the electricity is interrupted because it switches to the internal battery for electric power. The line interactive UPS enhances the simpler off-line version of power protection to prevent damage from dangerous surges and spikes.

An important attribute is how long the UPS will function when the electricity is off. This is governed by the power consumption of the connected devices – for example, at half-load (50%), the battery backup time can last up to three times as long. The load of the UPS governs the operating time, which at full load is 1 min and at half-load, it's 6,5 min. It is therefore crucial to calculate the power consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and ideally to have some extra power left. The APC Back-UPS BX 950VA (Schuko) specifies the apparent power as 950, but with realistic use, the actual power usage is 520 W.
