Better safe than sorry, any money you save by going with a cheaper UPS could be quickly consumed by a failed active-PFC PSU elsewhere, along with any components that get taken-out along with the PSU. CyberPower (and other suppliers) make a variety of these, and for not terribly much more money than their Simulated Sine Wave counterparts. If you DO have an active-PFC equipped device (or if you aren't certain,) you will want to purchase a True Sine Wave UPS. However, just because you don't see an 80+ badge on the PSU does NOT mean it's a non-active-PFC device, you'll have to check with the manufacturer to be certain. These types of power supplies (or PSUs) are usually found in higher-end PCs, a dead giveaway is if the PSU is rated as '80 Plus Bronze' or higher, higher being Silver, Gold, Platinum or Titanium, in order.

If the power supply will run at all, it may be damaged over time from the simulated wave and prematurely fail. This is not an issue for most devices, they tolerate it just fine, but for any device equipped with an active-PFC (Power Factor Correction) power supply, it can be a huge issue.

If you could see it, it would look more like a little staircase going up, then back down, repeating over and over. CyberPower CP1500AVRT AVR UPS Systems CP1500AVRT Tech-America.

Now, this CyberPower UPS should easily bridge that gap, providing the system with power while our backup generator does its thing, then reverting back over to house current once electricity is flowing again.īeware, however! This is a simulated sine wave UPS, meaning it doesn't supply a true sine-curve of AC power.

Also, the satellite receiver and the PS4 both have a hard disk drive (or HDD) inside, and the data can be degraded or damaged from sudden power loss if they happen to be actively running.

So, whenever we had an outage, our full entertainment center would shutdown, and the satellite receiver takes nearly 5 minutes to boot up and return to service, which is a major annoyance, especially if it's in the middle of recording one or more shows. Overall Review: Purchased this unit to backup our family room entertainment center (4K TV, stereo HDMI receiver, DVD player, satellite receiver/DVR and PlayStation4.) Our home actually has a full-house 22KW backup generator installed, but this takes about 15-20 seconds to detect an outage, fire up the motor and cutover to standby power. Simulated sine wave output, so cannot be used with many active-PFC PSU-equipped devices (typically PCs with 80+ Bronze or higher rated PSUs.) Only one external control button, so you have to cycle through all the various display modes to get to a particular one. LCD display panel automatically shuts off after several minutes of inactivity, which makes this unit usable in dark rooms.įairly quiet when actually operating (once you suppress the alarm, at least.)Ĭons: Only four power-backed outlets, a fifth would be nice. Pros: Excellent UPS for non-active PFC powered hardware.
