CyberPower BRG1500AVRLCD2 1500VA/900W Intelligent LCD Mini-Tower UPS with Remote Management, NEMA 5-15P

A mini-tower UPS with line interactive topology, the CyberPower Intelligent LCD provides battery backup (using simulated sine wave output) and surge protection for desktop computers, workstations, networking devices, and home entertainment systems. The BRG1500AVRLD2 uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, which extends battery life. AVR is essential in areas where power fluctuations occur frequently. This CyberPower UPS provides a lifetime connected equipment guarantee of up to $500,000.

Typical Applications
• Desktop Computers
• Automatic Voltage Regulation
• Workstations
• Home Theater Equipment
• Personal Electronics
• Home Networking
• VoIP Phone Systems

Features

GreenPower UPS Technology: Bypass Design
GreenPower UPS Technology from CyberPower improves operating efficiency, reduce heat generation, and consume less power than conventional UPS models.

Our patented Bypass Design allows current to bypass the transformer and automatic voltage regulation (AVR) when utility power is normal, thus reducing energy consumption and associated costs. Because utility power functions normally most of the time, the bypass design allows for substantial energy savings. This technology also reduces heat generation, an important factor in decreasing operating costs.

Automatic Voltage Regulation
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) in line interactive UPS systems stabilizes the incoming AC signal to maintain output power at a nominal 120 volts by controlling high and low voltages without resorting to battery power. This significantly increases battery life and lessens the likelihood of data loss, memory freezes, and system crashes.

How AVR Works in a Line Interactive UPS
A line interactive UPS includes an AVR autotransformer a special type of transformer designed to switch between powered coils of wire in response to variances in utility power input, thereby increasing or decreasing the magnetic field and the resulting output voltage to connected equipment.

This type of UPS tolerates undervoltage brownouts and overvoltage surges without consuming backup battery power by automatically selecting different power taps on the AVR autotransformer. During normal operation, incoming AC power bypasses the autotransformer (where voltage highs and lows are controlled) while also charging the battery. When the incoming voltage falls below the AVR range, the UPS switches to battery backup, and the DC-AC inverter circuitry is engaged. Power will continue to be supplied by the battery-inverter circuit until incoming voltage returns to the range manageable by the AVR.

USB-C
USB-C is emerging as the industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power. Compared to USB-A, USB-C is capable of much faster charging and can deliver power at up to 100 watts at 20 volts. This means larger devices can now be charged through a USB connection, including smartphones, gaming devices, tablets, laptops and more.

Plus, the USB-C is symmetrical, with no "up" or "down" orientation so it never needs to be flipped to fit into the port.
