The worst thing that can happen to you when you work on a computer is a power outage a few seconds before the entire file was saved. Your work has gone into the ether, and you have to start again from nothing. Such tragic scenarios can be prevented by the APC Easy UPS BV 650VA (IEC) backup power supply. This is just another name for a large battery that provides power for all types of electronics. The APC Easy UPS BV 650VA (IEC) backup power uses the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is the simplest form in case of a black-out because it switches to the internal battery for electric power. The line interactive UPS also adds voltage regulation to prevent damage from electrical surges from the grid.
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 appliances – for example, at half-load (50%), the run time will last a longer amount of time. The load of the UPS defines the operating time, which at maximum load is 2 min and at a load of 50%, it's 10 min. It is therefore crucial to estimate the power consumption of the connected appliances and it is a good idea to add some spare power left. The APC Easy UPS BV 650VA (IEC) specifies the apparent power as 650, but in reality, the actual usage matches the value of 375 W.
