Backup Power Supply APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC):Youve probably already experienced the nightmare of a power supply interruption minutes before your work was about to be automatically saved. The unsaved work is irretrievably lost, and you must start from scratch. Such uncomfortable (to put it mildly) situations can be averted by the APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC) UPS. This is just another name for a large battery that powers all devices that need electricity. The APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC) UPS has the Line interactive design approach. Off-line is classified as the most basic 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. APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC) Backup Power Supply Key Features Backup power design: Line interactive Actual performance: 900 W At a 100% load, the UPC will work for 1 min 6 sockets (C13), as used for monitors, printers, or amplifiers A key parameter 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 lasts much longer. The load of the backup source determines the operating time, which at full load (100%) is 1 min and at a load of 50%, its 6,5 min. It is therefore necessary to calculate the energy consumption of the connected computers, monitors and other electronics and it is a good idea to have a bit of energy extra left. The APC Back-UPS BX 1600VA (IEC) shows the apparent power as 1600, but with realistic use, the actual usage matches the value of 900 W.
