CyberPower PR1500LCD Smart App Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/1500W, 8 Outlets, AVR, Mini-Tower

Powerhouse Backup — Heavy, But Worth Every Pound
First off — this thing is massive and heavy. This is not your average little power brick, so be prepared with space and maybe a second set of hands during setup. That said, it performs flawlessly. I bought it to protect my computer, internet, and live stream setup from power surges, and it’s already saved me. During a recent surge, it kicked in instantly — no shutdowns, no hiccups, just smooth transition and uninterrupted uptime. If you’re running critical gear, this is the backup you want. Just make sure you’re ready for its size and weight!

Saved me during a power outage.
I have a threadripper 3970x workstation and this had saved me a few times from the occasional power cut off late at night.One night at about 2am I was working on a script, haven’t saved in a few hours and the power shit off. I didn’t even realize it happend for a few seconds because this kept my entire set up running seamlessly. Power turned on a few mins later, but still allowed me to save and properly shut down.I’ve had this for about 3 months and do not regret it.

Good Backup Power
I needed a greater capacity backup power supply after adding some additional equipment to my internet access hub. I had a smaller APC unit that has performed well over 6 years, but it would last only about 1 hour with the additional equipment’s load. This CyberPower’s two 12 volt / 17 amp batteries will carry my expanded 100 watt load for 4 hours. The unit has a variety of setup options, and the removable and informative user interface panel can be relocated via its extension cable for easier access if the unit itself is mounted in an inaccessible location. The only criticism is that with the unit’s 60 lb. weight, its shipping box should have been banded with fiberglass straps. It arrived partially open (fortunately undamaged) even though it was in the shipping channel for only 24 hours. Otherwise, it’s a good value and I recommend it to anyone wanting a UPS of this caliber.

For a long time, I believed that finding a UPS capable of supporting my high-end computer’s 1200W power supply was impossible, as most high-end models cap out around 900W. Consequently, I relied solely on a surge protector, accepting the risks associated with power outages and fluctuations. However, upon discovering the CyberPower PR1500LCD, I found a solution that not only meets but exceeds my expectations.Performance & ReliabilityThe PR1500LCD delivers exceptional performance, providing a pure sine wave output that ensures stable and clean power to my high-end PC. This feature is crucial for protecting sensitive components and maintaining system stability during power transitions.Capacity & RuntimeWith a robust 1500VA / 1500W capacity, this UPS comfortably supports my system’s power demands, even under full load. In the event of a power outage, the PR1500LCD offers ample runtime, allowing me to shut down the system safely.Build Quality & FeaturesThe unit boasts a sturdy build and features a clear, informative LCD display that provides real-time information on power load, estimated runtime, and battery status. The Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) is a standout feature, correcting minor power fluctuations without resorting to battery power, thereby extending the battery’s lifespan.Compatibility with Standard OutletsOne of the standout features of the PR1500LCD is its compatibility with standard North American household power outlets. Equipped with a NEMA 5-15P plug and a 6-foot cord, it easily connects to typical NEMA 5-15R outlets found in most homes. This means there’s no need for special wiring or adapters, simplifying the setup process.Software IntegrationThe PowerPanel® Personal software integrates seamlessly with my PC, offering comprehensive power monitoring and automated shutdown options. This ensures that my data is protected, and the system is properly managed during power events.Final VerdictThe CyberPower PR1500LCD has proven to be the ideal solution for my high-power computing needs. It provides reliable power backup, a suite of valuable features, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing my system is protected. For anyone with a high-end computer setup seeking a dependable UPS, I highly recommend the PR1500LCD.Pros:• High capacity suitable for demanding systems (1500VA / 1500W)• Pure sine wave output ensures stable power delivery• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) enhances power stability• Informative LCD display for real-time monitoring• Compatible with standard NEMA 5-15R outletsCons:• The unit is extremely heavy, which is expected given its capacityIn conclusion, the CyberPower PR1500LCD has addressed my concerns about finding a UPS capable of supporting at least a 1200W power supply. It stands as a robust and reliable choice for high-end computer systems.

Cet appareil est très bon et très puissant, mais malheureusement il produit un bib bib à toutes les 10 à 15 seconde et s’est dérangeant. Heureusement la compagnie qui fabrique cet UPS a communiqué avec moi et m’a expliquer comment désactiver ce son. Je recommande à cette entreprise de facilité la désactivation dans tous leurs UPS plus facilement, en ajoutant par exemple un bouton MUTE.

Compre este no-break para sustituir un no break Sola Basic, que no soportaba PFC entonces con cada pico de luz hacia una ligera interrupción y mataba la máquina (esto me trajo muchísimos dolores de cabeza).El no-break probablemente este sobrado para equipos de escritorio, o donde no haya equipos de conectividad continua. En mi caso tengo conectado el punto de acceso de fibra de Axtel, un ruteador x86, un Servidor (ambos con fuente PFC). La carga promedio es de 74W y soporta 3:45.El software aunque un poco pesado se me hace bueno, me da toda la información y permite configurar los limites de voltaje para el regulador y el no-break.No es del todo silencioso, no llega al extremo de una aspiradora o una tarjeta de video a tope, pero tomando en cuenta que este es un electrónico de potencia, creo que es entendible.Entre las cosas que se pueden mejorar es un poco la forma que se interactúa con el panel frontal, a veces es confuso, pero una vez entendiéndole no presenta mayor complejidad.Definitivamente el mejor no break al que he tenido acceso.
