Backup Power Supply CyberPower VP1600ELCD:Youve probably already experienced a power supply interruption a few seconds before you saved that important document. Your work has gone into the ether, and you have to start all over again. Such tragic scenarios can be prevented by the CyberPower VP1600ELCD uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This is just another name for a battery reservoir that powers all devices that need electricity. The CyberPower VP1600ELCD backup power features the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is classified as the simplest form if the electricity is interrupted, since it connects to the battery and disconnects from the mains power. The line interactive UPS also adds voltage regulation to guard against dangerous surges and spikes. CyberPower VP1600ELCD Backup Power Supply Key Features Backup power supply type: Line interactive Actual performance: 960 W At maximum load, the UPC will run for 2 min The most important attribute is the battery run time. This depends on the power consumption of the connected electronics – for example, at half-load (50%), the UPS power time will be three times longer. The load of the backup source defines the operating time, which at maximum load is 2 min and at a load of 50%, its 11 min. It is therefore essential to estimate the power consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and it is a good idea to have a bit of energy extra left. The CyberPower VP1600ELCD measures the apparent power as 1600, but in reality, the actual power usage is 960 W.
