The worst thing that can happen to you when you work on a computer is a power outage just before you saved that important document. Your work has gone into the ether, and you have to start again from nothing. Similar heart-stopping situations can be averted by the APC Easy UPS BV 1000VA (IEC) UPS. This hardware is practically a large battery that provides power for all types of electronics. The APC Easy UPS BV 1000VA (IEC) UPS battery backup has the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is the most basic form in case of a outage, since it connects to the battery and disconnects from the mains power. The line interactive UPS enhances the simpler off-line version of power protection to guard against dangerous surges travelling along data lines.
An important parameter is the UPS run time during outages. This depends on the power consumption of the connected electronics – for example, at half-load (50%), the battery backup time will be three times longer. The load of the UPS governs the operating time, which at full load is 2,5 min and at half-load, it's 17 min. It is therefore essential to determine the energy consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and it is best to have a bit of energy extra left. The APC Easy UPS BV 1000VA (IEC) measures the apparent power as 1000, but with realistic use, the actual power usage is 600 W.
