APC Smart-UPS 1000VA USB & Serial 230V

Product Information

Full time multi-pole noise filtering :5% of IEEE surge let-through : zero clamping response time: in Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. With careful management, you can keep the power flowing to a router or monitor for enough time to overcome most power cuts. For office use, with lots of power-sapping devices that need to be powered at once, then you'll want to look elsewhere on this best UPS list, but for home users on a budget, this is a great choice. The kVA-rating determines the total amount of power that the device can supply at any one time, but this needn’t imply anything about how long the supply will last for.

A UPS is designed to safeguard sensitive equipment and afford you the time required to shut everything down properly. What it isn’t designed to do is ‘ride-out’ a power-cut; there is only a finite amount of power stored within a UPS and a power-cut could be a long-term problem. The solution to a mid to long-term disruption would be a generator. If you’d like to immunise your business against protracted outages, then a generator system and a UPS make excellent partners: together, they’ll keep the lights on for extended periods. What about the automatic shutdown?

The general formula for calculating the runtime available from a UPS battery is: (10 x Battery Ah) / Load Watts. The Ah (Ampere-hour) of a battery is the amount of energy (charge) stored in a battery. The Ah measures the rate of electron flow to allow 1 Amp (ampere) to flow for 1 hour. Full time multi-pole noise filtering : 0.3% IEEE surge let-through : zero clamping response time : meets UL 1449 The glass is 100% full but only the kW (in this case the liquid) is useful whereas the kVA (the foam) is wasted. Typically, this relationship is 80% (a poor bartender indeed!) so the “Power Factor” is said to be 0.8.

How can we help you?

When choosing a UPS for yourself, start with considering where you're going to use it — for your home or office? If it's a small home or office that you need to power, then a tiny UPS will work fine. If you want to be especially safe, you can automate the shutdown process via a USB or RS-232 connection. In a setup like this, the UPS will instruct your servers to shut down the moment the power goes out. This saves you the trouble of racing into the office to save your data and eliminates the opportunity for human error. What UPS should I choose? The load measured in Watts is referred to as the Real Power and is the total Watt load placed on the uninterruptible power supply. A load may also be measured in VA (Volts x Amps) or kVA. VA measures the Apparent Power. A UPS’s power capacity is measured in Voltage-Amps (rather than Watts, which measures the power consumed rather than supplied). As a general rule, a UPS can support a load of around 9kWfor every10kVA. If you’d like to learn more, please get in touch with one of our specialists!

We've tested these UPS machines across numerous points, starting with what environment they're best suited for — home, small office, or server farm? The equipment connected to the UPS is drawing more power than the UPS can provide. Each model of UPS is capable of handling a predetermined amount of power draw. Verify that the wattage draw from your equipment plugged into the outlets does not exceed the Watt rating. The calculation is an approximate value because battery discharge curves are non-linear. UPS systems use complex algorithms to determine the runtime available for a set Ah battery size connected and the measure load placed upon them. This information can be read on the front panel LCD or remotely via an SNMP Ethernet/IP connection using remote UPS monitoring software.Klarna Bank AB (publ) is Authorised by the Swedish Financial Services Authority (Finansinspektionen) and is subject to limited regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority. So how long does an UninterruptiblePowerSupply last when the power goes down? The answer varies according to the size of the system and the amount of power required. If you’re running an office with several dozen computers in it, along with a server room, then you’ll need an accordingly sized UPS. If you’re just running one computer, then you might get away with a smaller one.
