Active Pfc Power Supply Ups Compatibility

Pure sine wave output on battery simulates utility power to provide the highest degree of compatibility for active pfc power factor corrected servers and sensitive electronics.

Active pfc power supply ups compatibility.

Did anyone ever used this ups with a ups that was active pfc. An energy star 4 0 compliant power supply has to be more than 80 efficient. As a result when a computer system using a power supply with active pfc is attached to a non sine wave ups the system may shut down when it switches to battery power. Some but not all active pfc psus don t work well with simulated sine waves.

600w x 1 25 multiplying. It turns out that most pc power supply units with active power factor correction pfc do not work well with lower cost uninterrupted power supplies ups e g. The ups had top notch build quality. This could be because the ups was old stock 2016 month of import.

Power supplies with active pfc may experience incompatibility problems with a ups that does not provide pure sine wave power output when the power supply switches from ac power to ups battery power. It depends but most likely yes active pfc controllers will shape the input current to whatever input voltage waveform is sensed. This can be calculated by taking the pfc power supply s rated output power and multiplying it by 1 25 as follows. For example if a attached power supply is delivering 600w output power its input power can be as high as 750w.

I have tested an antec vp650pm active pfc with 2 upses 1 cyberpower bu1000e in it sort of worked but couldnt handle shutdown at loads aka heavy gaming. The gx1325u is in the same line as the lx1500gu but has pure sine wave. An active pfc in power supply is a measure intended to satisfy the environmental groups and the utility company and sometimes it manifests itself as an unfortunate expense to the end user as having to employ a sinewave inverter ups should it be incompatible with modified squarewave type.

The closer your ups output is to a proper sine wave the more likely your active pfc will work just fine. Scalable runtime allows additional runtime as needed via external battery packs. After i had bought it i found out that there is a rumor in the internet that this series of ups is not compatible with psus that have active pfc. Active pfc enabled psus are not compatible with most low end ups.

Is that so. Smartslot customises ups capabilities with network management cards. This input power should be the basis for sizing the ups so as not to overload the ups. Hello i recently bought an apc back ups rs 1500va 230v.

The lx1500gu you linked provides simulated sine waves. 2 apc bx1000c in very nice product great build quality and worked perfectly with my.
