APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1200VA

Imagine a power outage just before you wanted to save your work. The unsaved work is irretrievably lost, and you have to start all over again. Repeats of such tragedies can be warded off by the APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1200VA UPS. In principle, this hardware is just a large battery that powers all devices that need electricity. The APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1200VA backup power features the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is seen as the most basic form when power fails, since it connects to the battery and disconnects from the mains power. The line interactive UPS enhances the simpler off-line version of data line surge suppression to prevent damage from dangerous surges and spikes.

APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1200VA Backup Power Supply Key Features

• Backup power design: Line interactive
• Actual performance: 720 W
• At a 100% load, the UPC will work for 4 min
• 8 sockets (C13), as used for monitors, printers, or amplifiers

The most important attribute is the battery run time. This depends on the power consumption of the connected appliances – for example, at half-load (50%), the backup time will last a longer amount of time. The load of the UPS governs the operating time, which at full load (100%) is 4 min and at half-load, it's 14,2 min. It is therefore crucial to determine the energy consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and it is best to have some spare energy in reserve. The APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1200VA specifies the apparent power as 1200, but realistically, the actual power usage is 720 W.
