We would not wish it on our worst enemy. A power outage just before your work was about to be automatically saved. Your work is irretrievably lost, and you have to start again from scratch. Similar heart-stopping situations can be forestalled by the APC Easy UPS BV 1000VA (SCHUKO) uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This is just another name for a large battery that powers all appliances needing electricity. The APC Easy UPS BV 1000VA (SCHUKO) backup power uses the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is seen as the most basic form when power fails because it connects to the battery and disconnects from the mains power. The line interactive UPS also adds power protection to guard against dangerous surges and spikes.
A key attribute is the UPS run time during outages. This is governed by the power consumption of the connected appliances – for example, at half-load (50%), the battery backup time can last up to three times as long. The load of the backup source governs the operating time, which at full load is 2,5 min and at half the energy consumption, it is 17 min. It is therefore crucial to calculate the energy consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and it is a good idea to add some spare power left. The APC Easy UPS BV 1000VA (SCHUKO) measures the apparent power as 1000, but with realistic use, the actual power usage is 600 W.
