Upsonic Pro Power 1000

Upsonic Pro Power 1000

The Upsonic Pro Power 1000 was the last UPS we received and it proved to be quite a surprise entry. It managed to top the highest score in the run-down test. It beat the Powerware 5119 by just over five minutes and it was one of two UPSs that lasted for over an hour. The Upsonic had a similar battery setup to the Powerware 5119 but was rated at 1000VA and 800W. The Powerware was only rated at 670W.

The Upsonic cost AU$29 per minute to run. This was a fraction higher then most of the other UPSs. Its overall price of AU$1876.60 is high (twice that of some of the other UPSs). At the same time you will get twice the life out of the Upsonic than you would with the less expensive UPSs.

The Upsonic UPS is quite largish for a 1000VA UPS. It weighs in at 22kg--almost as much as a rack-mount UPS. On the front panel you will find a battery level indicator as well as a load level indicator. The other LEDs are for Line, Inverter, Bypass, and Fault.

The Upsonic uses true on-line double conversion UPS topology with a bypass to ensure pure continuous 240-volt 50Hz (pure sine wave) power to critical or emergency equipment. This Upsonic UPS also provides true isolation for your load due to the double conversion technology, and can support UPS monitoring and SNMP capabilities. We didn't find any software inside the box. The unit did, however, work with Smart Monitor which was shipped with the Upsonic PCP 1000 UPS. It didn't take very long to get the hang of the software. The instrumentation was well laid out and includes all the relevant information that we would expect: input voltage, output voltage, and temperature, for example. There's also an alarm dialog box at the bottom of the main menu which keeps you informed of any events that have taken place.

This Upsonic UPS scored the highest run-down time and features some of the latest technology to protect your sensitive equipment from spikes, brownouts, and blackouts. The Upsonic Pro Power 1000 is an industrial strength UPS for particularly bad areas. Its suitable for critical applications, high-end network servers and data centres. If you're intending on purchasing a UPS for your PC or workstation then this might be a bit much.
