APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA

The APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA backup power supply, with a power output of 1600VA (960W) and standby (off-line) topology, reliably protects your connected electronics. At full load, its backup time of 3 minutes and 36 seconds provides enough time to save your work and safely shut down the system. The automatic voltage regulation (AVR) feature corrects voltage anomalies without switching to the battery, thereby extending its life. This APC Back-UPS PRO BR-1600VA backup power supply features an integrated LCD display that clearly shows its operating status and key parameters. The unit has a tower design with dimensions of 368 × 100 × 250mm and an operating noise level of 45dBA, which is equivalent to a quiet office environment.

Performance and automatic voltage regulation

The backup power supply uses a standby topology, filtering the voltage during a stable mains supply and only switching to the battery in the event of a power cut. The apparent power is 1600VA, while the real power is 960W. At a full load of 960W, the backup time is 3 minutes and 36 seconds; at half load (480W), the time extends to approximately 10.4 minutes. The AVR feature automatically corrects both undervoltage and overvoltage from the mains without consuming battery power, which actively extends its life and maintains a stable output voltage for sensitive electronics.

Battery and protection

At the heart of the device is a 24V lead-acid battery with a capacity of 9.4Ah. The user-replaceable battery simplifies maintenance and restores the unit's full performance after the original battery reaches the end of its life. A full charge takes 16 hours. Surge protection with an energy absorption of 509J ensures the safety of connected devices. Audible alarms warn you of low battery capacity or an output overload.

Management and clear monitoring

The USB port for management and automation, combined with compatible software, ensures a safe shutdown of the connected computer during a prolonged power outage. The multi-function LCD display shows the status of the power supply, current load, remaining battery capacity in percentage and minutes, and other operational values.

Connectivity options

The backup power supply provides eight IEC C13 output sockets for connecting your devices. Six of these are fully backed-up sockets with surge protection for critical equipment like a computer or router. The remaining two sockets offer surge protection only, for less sensitive peripherals. The input power is supplied via a standard IEC C14 connector. The backup power supply also protects the data network (RJ-45) and telephone line (RJ-11). A pair of USB-A and USB-C ports on the front panel are used for charging personal devices such as mobile phones or tablets.
