APC BK500EI Back-UPS 300-W 500VA 230V 4x IEC C13 Outlets Battery

Product Description

The APC BK500EI Back-UPS is a reliable Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from power disturbances. With a capacity of 500 VA and 300 Watts, it is suitable for safeguarding personal computers, workstations, network equipment, and other critical devices in environments with a 230V power supply. The primary function of this UPS is to provide a stable power source during blackouts, brownouts, or voltage fluctuations, ensuring that connected devices remain operational or can be safely shut down. This model features four IEC C13 outlets, all of which provide both battery backup and surge protection. This means that in the event of a power outage, the internal battery will supply power to these outlets, giving users time to save their work and properly shut down their equipment. The surge protection component safeguards devices from damaging power spikes and surges that can occur on the electrical line. Additionally, the BK500EI includes Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), which corrects for undervoltages and overvoltages without switching to battery power, thus extending battery life and providing cleaner power. The APC BK500EI is designed for ease of use, featuring audible alarms to alert users to power events and LED indicators to display the unit's status (e.g., on battery, overload). Its compact and robust design makes it a practical addition to any home or office setup where consistent power quality is essential. The unit utilizes a sealed, maintenance-free lead-acid battery, ensuring long-term reliability.
