Product Features
Product Overview
The APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500G is a line-interactive tower UPS engineered to deliver reliable backup power and surge protection for critical business IT equipment. With a 1500VA/865W capacity, this unit supports a wide range of devices including desktop computers, networking hardware, and point-of-sale systems during power disturbances or outages.
Featuring automatic voltage regulation (AVR), the UPS corrects minor voltage fluctuations without switching to battery power, extending runtime and battery life. The integrated LCD display provides real-time status monitoring with load and battery bar graphs, while audible alarms alert users to changing power conditions. The user-replaceable battery design simplifies maintenance and reduces long-term ownership costs.
This UPS connects via a standard NEMA 5-15P plug and provides ten NEMA 5-15R outlets, with five dedicated to surge protection and five offering both surge protection and battery backup. The six-foot power cord offers flexible placement options in office environments, while the single-phase operation ensures compatibility with standard North American electrical systems. The unit's Energy Star certification confirms efficient power conversion that minimizes energy waste during normal operation.
Technical Overview
This line-interactive UPS operates with a stepped approximated sine wave output, compatible with active PFC power supplies commonly found in modern IT hardware. The single-phase design delivers consistent 120V output, matching standard North American electrical infrastructure. The hot-swappable battery feature allows for replacement without powering down connected equipment, ensuring uninterrupted operation during maintenance.
The unit includes data line protection to safeguard connected devices from surges traveling through network or communication lines. With a surge energy rating of 354 joules, it provides robust protection against voltage spikes. The maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid battery is spill-proof and designed for reliable performance in office environments.
The battery system delivers approximately 3 minutes of runtime at full 865W load and extends to approximately 13 minutes at half load, providing sufficient time for graceful shutdowns during power interruptions. The typical recharge time is 8 hours, ensuring the UPS is ready for subsequent outages. The RoHS compliance indicates environmentally responsible manufacturing, while the three-year UPS warranty with one-year battery coverage provides long-term reliability assurance.
