The worst thing that can happen to you when you work on a computer is a power outage minutes before you wanted to save your work. Your work has gone into the ether, and you have to start again from nothing. Repeats of such tragedies can be warded off by the APC Easy UPS SMV 1500VA uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This is a premium battery backup that powers all appliances needing electricity. The APC Easy UPS SMV 1500VA backup power features the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is seen as the simplest form in case of a outage because it switches to the internal battery for electric power. The line interactive UPS enhances the simpler off-line version of power protection to prevent damage from dangerous surges and spikes.
The most important attribute is the backup time. This depends on the power consumption of the connected electronics – for example, at half-load (50%), the UPS power time lasts much longer. The load of the UPS defines the operating time, which at maximum load is 3,3 min and at half-load, it's 11,8 min. It is therefore crucial to determine the power consumption of the connected appliances and it is best to add some spare power left. The APC Easy UPS SMV 1500VA measures the apparent power as 1500, but in reality, the actual usage matches the value of 1050 W.
