You've probably already experienced a power supply interruption just before you saved that important document. Almost all your work has vanished, and you must start from scratch. Similar heart-stopping situations can be prevented by the APC Back-UPS 500VA 8 French outlets backup power supply. This is a battery reservoir that provides power for all devices that need electricity. The APC Back-UPS 500VA 8 French outlets UPS uses the Off-line design approach. Off-line is seen as the simplest form because it connects to the battery and disconnects from the mains power in case of a black-out.


A key parameter is the battery run time. This depends on the power consumption of the connected appliances – for example, at half-load (50%), the UPS power time will last a longer amount of time. The load of the backup source defines the operating time, which at full load (100%) is 7,73 min and at a load of 50%, it's 20,92 min. It is therefore crucial to determine the energy consumption of the connected electronics and it is best to have some extra power left. The APC Back-UPS 500VA 8 French outlets measures the apparent power as 500, but realistically, the actual usage matches the value of 300 W.
