APC BR1500GI - 1500 VA Line-Interactive Back-UPS Pro UPS 230 V
Overview :
The APC BR1500GI is a Line-Interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) configured for 230 V AC environments with a 1500 VA / 865 W capacity. It is deployed by IT, small business, and home office teams to protect servers, workstations, network devices, and storage systems from utility power loss, voltage sags, surges, and brownouts.
Using line-interactive topology with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), the BR1500GI stabilizes input voltage without relying on battery power during minor fluctuations, preserving battery life for true outage situations.
The unit features 10 IEC 320 C13 outlets × with half offering battery backup and surge protection and half providing surge-only protection × enabling flexible load distribution across critical and non-critical equipment.
Communication and control are facilitated through USB and optional signalling ports, with an LCD status display showing load, battery state, and UPS diagnostics in real time.
A user-replaceable sealed lead-acid battery (APCRBC124) supports runtime for orderly system shutdowns during outages, with typical recharge time around 8 hours and expected battery life of 3-5 years depending on operating conditions
