A patented design that allows utility power to bypass the UPS transformer, when AC power is stable, which reduces energy consumption, noise, and heat buildup.

Provides clean, consistent AC power by automatically increasing (boosting) low voltage without using battery power when incoming utility power experiences minor fluctuations.With a generous capacity of 1500VA/900Watts, the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD will ensure that you have plenty of time to save your work and perform a normal system shutdown. 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. Both CyberPower and APC surge protectors have built-in filters that can help to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which can cause problems such as static or noise on your devices. Energy-saving features: If your computer has a modern Active PFC power supply, it’s best to feed it sine waves just like the electricity that’s delivered by the power grid. Some models of both CyberPower and APC surge protectors have USB ports, which can be used to charge devices such as smartphones and tablets. Surge protection rating:

Some models of both CyberPower and APC surge protectors have energy-saving features, such as a switch that allows you to turn off outlets when they are not in use, helping to save energy and reduce your power bill. Durability and reliability: I'm looking to upgrade to a 1500VA unit, I see 2 popular models that do "Pure Sine Wave" are the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD and the *shudder* APC Gaming UPS. A higher surge protection rating typically means better protection for your devices. EMI/RFI noise filtering: Prolongs unit life with a rugged casing made of an impact-resistant material for maximum durability. The APC UPS, however, doesn’t need to be tilted to let you see what’s on the screen. This is because the upper portion of the device is lobbed off so that it becomes easy for you to see the display.

Exists when a line interactive UPS has an autotransformer that regulates low voltages (e.g., brownouts) and over voltages (e.g., spikes) without having to switch to battery. Multifunction LCD Panel - Displays immediate, detailed information on the UPS battery and power conditions, alerting users to potential problems before they can affect critical equipment and cause downtime. On the other hand, the APC BR1500MS2 is capable of running up to 8 minutes under a full load having a lower load capacity than the other. Price Many models of both CyberPower and APC surge protectors have multiple outlets, allowing you to protect multiple devices with a single surge protector. USB ports:

I don't really care about the RGB lights on the APC, but I noted that the CyberPower is rated at 1500VA / 1000W whereas the APC is rated at 1500VA / 900W. Does this mean per factory settings, the APC will start beeping at me for overload around 900W whereas the CyberPower will let me "stretch" a bit more and only start beeping at me for overload around 1,000W?

About this product

Line Interactive Topology - Exists when a line interactive UPS has an autotransformer that regulates low voltages (e.g., brownouts) and over voltages (e.g., spikes) without having to switch to battery. Displays immediate, detailed information on the UPS battery and power conditions, alerting users to potential problems before they can affect critical equipment and cause downtime. Some models of APC surge protectors have built-in cable management features, such as cable clips or a cord-wrapping system, to help keep cords organized and tidy. CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD vs APC BR1500MS2 CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD APC UPS 1500VA Here is a summary of key features and benefits of both CyberPower and APC surge protectors: Multiple outlets: The CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC 1500VA 900W Sincewave UPS will keep your expensive computer and electronic gear running safely during brief power outages and automatically shut your system down during longer outages when you are away from the computer and unable to do it yourself.
