1000VA - 1500VA Silent UPS 2016 Update?
Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2016 10:39 am
Saw threads from years ago about silent Uninterruptable Power Supply devices. I would be interested in an update.
I want a UPS that would keep my PC and one, maybe two, large monitors running (~150-220W). I'd like to be able to do more than just save my work and shut down, but rather ride the battery through many blackouts. I think 60-90 minute runtime would be a good goal.
1500VA models seem to be right. I prefer the pure sine wave option for PFC PSUs. I understand some have said pure sine wave doesn't matter, but also heard some mention of the possibility that some of the sound problems may be interaction of approximated sine waves and PFC PSU.
Cyberpower has a nice product selection feature and these seem to be the models with 1500VA and pure sine wave output. The lower 1000+ VA units are included too. [The following post discusses APC pure sine models.]
Like everyone here, I would like to have other people's feedback and suggestions as to which APC and Cyberpower UPS models are completely silent when on AC power, and (much lower priority) reasonably quiet when on battery power. Thanks in advance! If anyone has feedback and suggestions in the lower VA range that might help others, by all means please mention them too.
Some matching Cyberpower models:
CP1500PFCLCD
PR1500LCD
PR1500LCDN
CP1350PFCLCD
CP1000PFCLCD
PR1000LCD
