Description
The CyberPower PR1500LCD is a high-performance line-interactive UPS engineered for corporate servers, networking hardware, and mission-critical workstations. With a robust 1500VA/1050W capacity, it delivers pure sine wave power to prevent system crashes and hardware degradation caused by electrical noise or power irregularities. Its Active PFC compatibility makes it an essential choice for modern power supplies that require a clean, consistent waveform to function efficiently and safely.
This product is for:
- IT Managers: Ideal for protecting rack-independent servers and network switches in small to medium-sized data centers.
- Creative Professionals: Ensures high-end workstations and RAID storage arrays remain powered during outages to prevent data corruption.
- Small Business Owners: Provides reliable backup for POS systems and office networking to maintain business continuity during power events.
- Home Lab Enthusiasts: Offers a robust power foundation for virtualization servers and NAS devices requiring clean energy and high uptime.
- Healthcare Administrators: Supports sensitive medical office equipment and electronic record systems that demand stable voltage and surge protection.

Operating the PR1500LCD is streamlined through its innovative detachable LCD panel, which can be relocated for better visibility in tight equipment closets. The unit utilizes patented GreenPower UPS technology to reduce energy consumption and heat dissipation, significantly lowering total cost of ownership. For maintenance, the hot-swappable battery design allows for seamless replacement without shutting down connected equipment. Integration with PowerPanel Business software provides deep insights into power quality, event logging, and automated graceful shutdown protocols for virtualized environments.
Unlike entry-level UPS systems that produce a simulated sine wave, the PR1500LCD generates a pure sine wave identical to utility power. This is critical for equipment with Active PFC power supplies, which may overheat or shut down when running on stepped wave approximations. Additionally, the inclusion of Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) corrects minor power fluctuations without switching to battery mode, preserving battery health and extending the service life of the unit compared to standard standby UPS models.
Q&A:
- Does this UPS support Active PFC power supplies? Yes, the pure sine wave output ensures full compatibility with Active PFC electronics and sensitive laboratory equipment.
- Can I monitor this UPS remotely? Yes, it features a slot for an optional RMCARD205 for SNMP/HTTP remote management and is compatible with PowerPanel Cloud services.
- How many devices can I plug in? The unit features 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets, divided into critical and non-critical loads to prioritize power for your most important hardware.
- Is the battery user-replaceable? Yes, the PR1500LCD supports hot-swappable, user-replaceable batteries, allowing for maintenance without interrupting the power supply.
- What is the benefit of the EPO port? The Emergency Power Off port allows for the immediate shutdown of the UPS and all connected equipment during a facility emergency or fire.
