APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA

We would not wish it on our worst enemy. A power outage a few seconds before you saved that important document. Almost all your work has vanished, and you have to start again from scratch. Similar heart-stopping situations can be averted by the APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA backup power supply. In principle, this hardware is just a large battery that powers all devices that need electricity. The APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA backup power has the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is seen as the simplest form in case of a black-out, since it switches power to the UPS unit itself. 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 PRO BR-1600VA Backup Power Supply Key Features

• Backup power supply type: Line interactive
• Actual performance: 960 W
• At maximum load, the UPC will run for 2,6 min
• 8 sockets (C13), as used for monitors, printers, or amplifiers

A key parameter is the UPS run time. This is governed by the power consumption of the connected appliances – for example, at half-load (50%), the backup time lasts much longer. The load of the backup source defines the operating time, which at full load is 2,6 min and at a load of 50%, it's 10,4 min. It is therefore essential to determine the energy consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and ideally to have some extra power left. The APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA shows the apparent power as 1600, but realistically, the actual power usage is 960 W.
