The CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS from CyberPower is a mini-tower device with line-interactive topology that provides battery backup via sine wave output and surge protection for desktop computers, workstations, networking devices, and home entertainment systems requiring active PFC power source compatibility. It comes equipped with an output capacity of 1500VA / 1000W, features an input voltage range of 88-144 VAC at 57-63 Hz, Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to help correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, and has integrated circuitry for EMI/RFI filters. An integrated color LCD panel, which tilts up to 22°, can be used to quickly confirm status and alerts, while a USB-C and USB-A port share 3.1A for charging portable devices such as mobile phones and tablets.
When running at half capacity, this UPS can power devices for up to 10 minutes. When running with a full load, it can power devices for up to 2.5 minutes. It can be recharged in around 8 hours and offers twelve total NEMA 5-15R outlets, six of which are equipped with battery and surge protection, while the other six are only equipped with surge protection. The surge-protected outlets can absorb up to 1445 joules for keeping your devices safe against surges and spikes. Other connections offered are a right-angle NEMA 5-15P input plug with a 45° offset and 5' cord, plus serial, USB-B, Ethernet RJ45.
This power supply is ENERGY STAR qualified with GreenPower UPS Bypass technology for reducing energy consumption and heat buildup to help save energy costs. Available as a free download is the PowerPanel Business Edition UPS management software, which requires minimal system resources and monitors the status of the UPS to ensure it is working properly. When a power outage does occur, this software automatically saves open files and powers down the system into hibernation mode. When your PC is running in hibernation mode, the power supply will offer a longer runtime. This CyberPower UPS provides a lifetime connected equipment guarantee of up to $500,000.

CyberPower CP1500PFC Reviews
5 and Counting...
Between my computer system and studio equipment (keyboards, guitars, pedals, speaker units, etc.), my UPS count now stands at five. All are CyberPower and with the exception of my first, the other four are CP1500 1000W. None have missed a beat (pun intended). I posted pics of the computer system and early keyboard setup in a previous review. Since then, the family has grown exponentially with the addition of a second keyboard, five guitars, two studio monitors, two FRFR speakers, and multiple pedals. Future possibilities are endless. The best part is not having to worry about if and when the power will be there to drive everything.
Great so far
I just bought this two weeks ago for my home office to replace a failed 7-year old APC 650 (which probably only needed a new battery). But this one has more UPS outlets which I needed, so this was an easy choice. The only quirky difference I have noticed is that each time I wake my PC from Sleep Mode I get a message that the UPS has lost communication with the PC, but a couple of seconds later another message pops up saying communication has bee restored. So far I am quite pleased with it.
