You've probably already experienced the nightmare of a power supply interruption a few seconds before you finished working. Your work has gone into the ether, and you have to start again from nothing. Such catastrophic scenarios can be warded off by the APC Easy UPS BV 650VA (SCHUKO) uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This is just another name for a battery reservoir that provides power for all types of electronics. The APC Easy UPS BV 650VA (SCHUKO) backup power has the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is the most basic form in case of a black-out, since it switches to the internal battery for electric power. The line interactive UPS also adds voltage regulation to guard against dangerous surges and spikes.
A key attribute is how long the UPS will function when the electricity is off. This depends on the energy consumption – for example, at half-load (50%), the battery backup time can last up to three times as long. The load of the UPS determines the operating time, which at full load is 2 min and at half-load, it's 10 min. It is therefore necessary to calculate the power 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 650VA (SCHUKO) shows the apparent power as 650, but realistically, the actual power usage is 375 W.
