Aggregated specification data identifies this unit as an entry-level standby UPS with a 255W load limit. Under battery power, the inverter produces a simulated sine wave, which is a stepped approximation of an analog signal. This waveform is sufficient for standard switching power supplies but may result in electrical noise or thermal increases in high-fidelity audio transformers. Technical analysis confirms the unit lacks a USB HID-compliant management port, classifying it as a "non-managed" device that provides power continuity without software-level communication.
Material analysis lists the internal power source as a 12V lead-acid battery, with a chassis design that prioritizes space efficiency. The unit operates silently in standby mode due to its passive cooling architecture, which eliminates internal fans. Performance metrics indicate a surge protection rating of 450 Joules, utilizing sacrificial metal oxide varistors to mitigate transient voltage spikes.
- Modes of operation: Passive Standby, Stepped-Wave Inversion, Surge Suppression.
- Hardware interfaces: 6 NEMA 5-15R outlets (variable backup/surge allocation), 5-foot grounded power cord.
Structural dimensions facilitate installation in constrained environments, such as behind desks or within networking closets. The 400VA rating is calibrated for low-wattage electronics; connecting high-draw devices like laser printers or gaming workstations will exceed the operational threshold and activate the internal circuit protection.
If your hardware requires a pure sine wave to maintain signal integrity in a studio environment, consider the CP1500PFCLCD as a high-fidelity alternative for sensitive Active PFC equipment.
This hardware is classified under the repository of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) designed for basic household and office applications.
