Uninterruptible Power Supply APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA:We would not wish it on our worst enemy. A power outage a few seconds before you finished working. Your work has gone into the ether, and you have to start again from scratch. Such uncomfortable (to put it mildly) situations can be prevented by the APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA UPS. In principle, this hardware is just a battery reservoir that powers all types of electronics. The APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA backup power has the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is the simplest form when power fails because it switches to the internal battery for electric power. The line interactive UPS enhances the simpler off-line version of data line surge suppression to prevent damage from electrical surges from the grid. APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA Backup Power Supply Key Features Backup power supply type: Line interactive Actual performance: 960 W At maximum load, the UPC will run for 2,6 min 8 sockets (C13), as used for monitors, printers, or amplifiers An important parameter 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 run time lasts much longer. The load of the UPS determines the operating time, which at full load is 2,6 min and at half-load, its 10,4 min. It is therefore necessary 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-1600VA specifies the apparent power as 1600, but with realistic use, the actual usage matches the value of 960 W.
