APC BR1500MS2 – Line‑Interactive 1500 VA UPS 900 W

Overview

The APC BR1500MS2 is a line‑interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) engineered to provide AC continuity, surge protection, and managed shutdown capability for connected electronics and IT equipment. It’s deployed in small business, home server, and workstation environments where maintaining power during outages and regulating incoming voltage is essential.

Rated for 1500 VA / 900 W, this UPS uses line‑interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR), which corrects undervoltages and overvoltages without engaging the battery until necessary, thereby preserving runtime capacity.

The UPS integrates a multi‑function LCD interface conveying real‑time status of load level, battery charge, and event conditions. Built‑in USB Type‑A and Type‑C ports provide auxiliary charging for mobile devices while the unit supports data‑line protection for network and coaxial connections to safeguard against surge events.

Six outlets provide both battery backup and surge protection, while four additional outlets offer surge‑only protection to segregate critical from non‑critical loads and maximize available runtime. The unit automatically recharges the internal sealed lead‑acid battery when mains power is restored.

During outages, the transfer to battery power typically occurs within 8 ms (maximum ~10 ms), and the sine‑wave output supports a wide range of computing and networking equipment without the waveform limitations of stepped approximations.
