CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD 1500VA Pure Sine Wave-Cures MacPro Wake From Sleep Shutdown
Purchased this CyberPower unit about month ago. Have 2008 MacPro 8 core 3. GHZ fully loaded internally that was running for last couple years along with assorted Monitors-(2), printer etc. Had been using an APC 1500 & APC 1000- splitting various thing around plugged in to either one to share load. A MDD dual processor was in the mix but it was always on the opposite power supply, not both on one APC unit. For the last 3 yrs have been enduring endless stupidity with these APC power supplies. They would shut down randomly & repeatedly EVEN if the MacPro was not the one on that particular power UPS.Although for the most part – the UPS that was on the MacPro would shut down. You could switch a light on in another room- even a 1 bulb 75 watt could essentially trigger one of the 2 APC units to shut down as if they were overloaded. They were not. House is newer & wired correctly with 12 gauge/20 amp romex wire everywhere for any normal 110v outlets & 8 gauge 50 amp for 220v outlets & 200 amp service. The 2 power supplies are on their own line by themselves-nothing else. I am very familiar with house wiring & have rewired several homes I’ve owned. All wiring in house is up to snuff done properly.I tolerated this nonsense with these APC for years. They made absolutely no sense. I was aware at some point & positively as of recent reading that the 2008 MacPro’s had PFC power supplies in them & that they would prefer pure sine wave power- as house current is. Even with that knowledge it still made no senses as to the random-regular weekly shutdown on the APC units with the computer asleep not even trying to wake or even having A TRUE power outage. The batteries checked out ALWAYS and if not hooked up to computer would work fine. If computer was awake & cut power they would hold system for as many minutes long as they were expected to. No problem. Just if asleep- turn light on anywhere in house- units sometimes/randomly cut out. If house current off & wake computers units shut down. Stupid really. Whats the point of the power supply ? (sounds like I am reviewing the APC’s not CyberPower-right ?)Finally my MP had 8Gb of ram out of 16GB go bad. Had it replaced and I said that’s it.I mean really- the APC power supplies were shutting down on a almost weekly basis & there wasn’t even any power failures- the units themselves were THE power failures.Did as much research as possible regarding PFC power supplies & chose the CyberPower PFC 1500 unit. Cost more than the similar NON pure sine wave APC units. But cost quite a bit less than the Pure sine wave APC units. Who knows why APC charges so much for pure sine wave units. But after using their product probably for nearly 15 yrs- I was done.The CyberPower unit is a GREAT unit. Have read various reviews about the power switch(on unit-on/off & menu) etc problem some are having with it-I don’t get the problem. It is a bit of a different technique how the button operates- but I picked it up quickly. The current power draw in numbers of watts as well as load capacity being used on the LCD display is great. You have real-time readout if you chose to, as to those numbers. It’s like having Kill-A-Watt meter always on. You get to see the basic power fluctuations of your components. The unit is very compact- somewhat smaller than the APC 1500/1000 units.Right now connected with MacPro w/4 Hitachi 7200 rpm 64MB cache 3TB drives internal, ATI/Apple 5870 video card- w/3 24″ monitors, epson 3800 printer, external OWC QX2 raid case w-4 hitachi 7200 rpm 32 MB cache 2TB drives & 2008 8 core MacPro booted off of that raid case along with MBP early 2011-17″ plugged in but asleep, DSL modem, Dlink 8 port gigabit ethernet hub, 5th Gen AirPort extreme, MDD G/4 plugged in but off, the CyberPower shows a load of about 564 watts. That draw is confirmed accurate(slightly less actually for CyberPower unit itself not being in mix) if all were disconnected from CyberPower unit and plugged in- instead to the Kill-A=Watt meter. Everything asleep around 54 watts draw.I can switch ANY combination of light/appliance/central a/c /55″ plasma/electric 220v clothes dryer/3.5HP 220v air compressor/ 5500watt electric heater- 500 gallon spa w/dual pumps etc in any combination on or off with computers asleep, awake, getting awake, going to sleep. UPS functions PERFECTLY & as expected- stellar performance. NO random shutdowns-nothing. Cut power to unit while computers asleep-no problem. You know the conclusion here -right?Pro’s* Economical, compact, nice looking* PFC compatible- Pure Sine Wave unit.* Operates flawlessly* Cheaper than APC pure sine wave units* Power consumption/load LCD is very useful if you like that sort of thing-I do* 3yr warranty -same as APCCons* Cost more than NON PFC compatible/Pure Sine Wave units* CyberPower warranty/service- unknown quality yet. APC was/had excellent serviceConclusion.Highly recommended, especially if you have any of the MacPro’s. I imagine some on PC side have units that are PFC and would require pure sine wave to operate a UPS on those computers properly also. I will not ever buy a UPS that is not a pure sine wave unit again.

Excellent and Feature Rich UPS
I had purchased this UPS to be used on my networking equipment and home server PCs running Ubuntu. So far, in the 4 months I’ve used this unit, I have a lot of good things to say about it and only one con.Pros:- Quality: The UPS is a tank. It is hefty and has some decent plastic to its exterior. The built-in LCD on the UPS is extremely readable and intuitive to use.- Software: Cyberpower provides their PowerPanel Personal software out of the box for this unit, but for my purposes I used PowerPanel Business since I have two computers connected to the unit, both of which are headless. The PowerPanel Business software provided a fairly straightforward setup process to configure connected computers to shut down at a certain amount of power remaining.- Line Interactive and Pure Sinewave: My power is usually reliable and doesn’t have a dirty output. As such, I had chose this UPS since having a line interactive and pure sinewave output is all that I’d really need without getting a more costly fully online UPS, or cheapening out with a simulated sinewave device. I’ve never had any problems with the power output of this UPS on my components.Cons:- Outlet spacing: The outlets on this UPS are simply put, way too close to each other. The outlets are spaced wide enough only for ordinary AC plugs to be put onto them, not any switching power supplies that are used in pretty much all consumer grade routers, modems, and switches. This led me to purchasing power adapters with a separate brick and plugs to the wall with a normal AC plug so that I could make everything fit.Performing a simulated power outage by unplugging the unit from the wall after I set everything up, I was happy to see that the UPS immediately switched to battery power with no interruption to the work my servers are performing.In conclusion, the Cyberpower PFCLCD series UPS is one of the best choices for a reliable and practical UPS. Good quality and software support help ensure your equipment are able to safely shut down in the event of an outage.

Vivo en una zona donde las tormentas tropicales, sobre todo en otoño, son tremendas y llegan a estropear los aparatos. La uso para mi PC de escritorio, dos pantallas y bocinas, hasta una lámpara y escritorio con elevador, y me ha salvado ya muchas veces de perder todo mi trabajo. Anteriormente tenÃa una versión de menor VA y tipo de onda variable que no me servÃa de mucho la verdad. Es mejor un equipo como estos de onda sinoidal continua aunque sea más costoso.

Pensé en comprarlo antes… pero hasta que me paso un accidente con mi NVR (apagón de luz daño mi disco duro) fue que lo compre… Y creo que es una buena inversión si tienes aparatos delicados como CCTV, HDD o incluso módem y routers. Es muy pesado pero entiendo que es por la baterÃa. El diseño es de torre y se acomoda casi en cualquier lugar. Trae una pantalla a color que te da detalles del status de la baterÃa, la carga de está y si hay un apagón, el tiempo restante que tienes de energÃa para tomar las medidas necesarias en tus aparatos. Trae 5 contactos respaldados con baterÃa, es decir, todo lo que conectes ahà tendra energÃa aunque no haya luz. Y trae otros 5 contactos que ayudan a regular la carga en caso de que haya descompensación de luz.Lo malo: los espacios entre cada contacto es reducido y considerando que la mayorÃa de aparatos trae eliminadores grandes, solo ocupas 2 o 3 contactos ya que los eliminadores te impiden conectar más aparatos. Es necesario comprar mini extensiones para usar todos los espacios del No-break. Llegó next day y perfectamente empacado. Super recomendable para aparatos de casa.

I have been buying CyberPower products for years because they are affordable and because you get a lot of premium features even in some of their least expensive units. The CP1000PFCLCD model here is just that. Very affordable with premium features like auto-voltage regulation and simulated sinewave so that it takes care of even the most delicate of electronics. A lot of people don’t know that utility power coming out of their wall is not only dirty (full of noise) but also suffers from voltage spikes and sags quite regularly. All of these issues cause a lot of stress on modern day electronics. Not only does this allow you to safely shutdown your equipment during a power outage but it also safeguards your electronics from the poor quality power problems like voltage spikes, noise, voltage sags and surges as well. The cost of a unit like this one with these premium features will more than pay for itself by extending the life of your electronics like computers, switches, modems, routers, gaming systems and anything else found in a modern day home or small home/office or business. These advanced power quality correcting power back-up systems are just a must have today and it’s why I have so many of them all over my home protecting all my sensitive electronic equipment. I’m happy to report that I have had 0 hardware failures due to power issues over the decades because of these CyberPower UPS units protecting everything in my home and small business. I’ve even noticed that the quality of these CyberPower units last forever. My oldest one is 15 years old and still going strong. The batteries have all lasted at least 8 years with the longest battery lasting 10 years! I’ve never had any batteries or UPS last this long from other brands like APC etc. Honestly I can’t say enough good things. If you care about your electronics and you want the absolute best protection then get a CyberPower UPS with Auto voltage regulation like this one. You won’t be sorry. I’m haven’t been!
