Tripp Lite AVR550U 550VA UPS 300W Battery Backup Surge Protector AVR
Utility power sags during heavy demand and spikes when machinery kicks on down the road. We built this desktop unit to steady those voltage swings before they hit your hardware. If the branch circuit drops out entirely, internal battery power takes over immediately so you can finish saving files.
Price as our retail partner last listed it. They set it and they can change it, so the figure on their page is the one that counts at checkout.
- BASIC HOME UPS BATTERY BACKUP WITH AVR PROTECTS FROM BLACKOUTS, BROWNOUTS & SURGES: 550VA / 300W Tripp Lite Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides 32 minutes of power to an energy-efficient desktop PC computer and small monitor. Provides PWM sine wave output in battery mode. AVR (automatic voltage regulation) continuously corrects voltages as low as 89V and as high as 145V back to nominal 120V power.
- 8 OUTLETS (NEMA5-15R) SURGE PROTECTOR & UNINTTERUPTED POWER SUPPLY: Features 8 outlets with wide-spacing to accommodate bulky plug-ins. Four outlets feature both UPS back up battery & surge protection and 4 outlets offer surge protection only. Surge spike protection features 316 joules of supression rating. RJ45 port protect a standard dial-up/phone connection or 10Mb Ethernet line connection from data line surges.

How this one is built
Line voltage correction
Automatic voltage regulation steps low voltage up and trims high line levels down to a standard baseline. The battery stays fully charged on reserve instead of cycling on every brief sag.
Split outlet banks
Receptacles across the top deck handle standard plugs and larger power adapters. Some outlets draw from battery power and surge suppression, while a secondary bank provides suppression alone for non-essential desk peripherals.
Network and phone protection
Data jacks on the side of the housing accept a phone line or network patch cable. Routing the connection through the unit helps shield network cards and modems from transient surges riding telephone or copper data cabling.
System shutdown signaling
A rear USB port connects to your host machine with our included interface cable. Paired with downloadable PowerAlert software, the unit can trigger an automatic unattended operating system shutdown before the battery runs completely flat.
