APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA LCD LAN

The worst thing that can happen to you when you work on a computer is a power outage just before your work was about to be automatically saved. Almost all your work has vanished, and you have to start again from scratch. Repeats of such tragedies can be prevented by the APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA LCD LAN backup source, or UPS. This is just another name for a large battery that provides power for all devices that need electricity. The APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA LCD LAN UPS battery backup uses the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is the most basic form when power fails, since it switches power to the UPS unit itself. The line interactive UPS also adds voltage regulation to prevent damage from electrical surges from the grid.

APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA LCD LAN Backup Power Supply Key Features

• Backup power design: Line interactive
• Actual performance: 900 W
• At a 100% load, the UPC will work for 7,8 min
• 8 connects with C13 sockets, with devices such as monitors, LCD screens and printers

A key attribute is the backup time. This is governed by the power consumption of the connected electronics – for example, at half-load (50%), the UPS power time can last up to three times as long. The load of the backup source governs the operating time, which at full load is 7,8 min and at half-load, it's 20 min. It is therefore crucial to calculate the power consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and it is best to have some spare energy in reserve. The APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA LCD LAN measures the apparent power as 1500, but in reality, the actual usage matches the value of 900 W.
