Joaco, all this will probably be moved back to the "Electricity" thread, which is not really an APS Forum, as it has appeared for a while, now. Paul

Yes , I made a mistake ... it will be much better in the Electricity thread

You do not mention the manufacturer's name, although I see that the screen you pictured bears its legends in English rather than Spanish, albeit 230V is not the USA standard, unless we are talking about "balanced" input.

Paul , the "manofactures" name is Fernadez & Fica (two surnames) their site is http://www.socomec.com/Home_en.html I think these people are importing some units from the USA and modifying them to local use , thats why the screen is in english . Anyway I think they have a very good way of thinking and doing things .

I hope you will also explain about the batteries you use, how you charge and re-charge them, and if the batteries charge while the power supply is in use for hi-fi, or if the unit is "unplugged", running only on batteries, when it is used for hi-fi.Paul
The unit is not intended for long periods running from batteries , the goal of the batteries are to protect from a blackout and to have enough time to react but you can add an external battery bank too . I havent made experiments running only on batteries yet . But the manual says it use 3 x 7.2V 12ah . There are different modes of running the unit , but the batteries are always charging until they reach full charge , if you unplugg the unit it will use the batteries and the inverter too , the "inverter" use the feature that is called double-conversion technology on the pure power 2000 , the guy at the lab told me the same "this unit use double conversion technology it is the word -inverter- on the screen . you can leave the batteries charging and have 0 volt output as well , or use the bypass meaning no regeneration of the wave but only filtering .

Please also tell about the system "capacity" in Watts and the useable running time (Amp hours...).Paul

The device is intended for use up to 1KV , 2 and 3 KV version where available too . My system consist on a 2A3/45 amplifier , a Reimyo DAC , and a passive magnetic pre amp . According to the % of the load on the screen , it uses 13% of the full 1KV . The transport is a mac laptop when it is connected and charging the batterie the load goes up until 19% . 
Now im wondering if the pure power2k  unit is basically an UPS with double conversion technology designed for highend audio . ??? and what about all the ps audio devices what kind of technology are they using ? the device has bring in a lot of questions for me ...
I will take some pictures of the modes for better understanding and from the inside of the unit .
ps : excuse me if I havent made my self clear but please understand that english isn´t my first language ...
