An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) also known as a battery backup, provides backup power when your regular power source fails or voltage drops to an unacceptable level. It is a device that allows a computer to keep running for at least a short time when the primary power source is lost. UPS devices also provide protection from power surges.
The UPS contains an internal battery that kicks in when the supplier detects a shortage of power from the original power source. The UPS also notifies users that are connected to its system that a power shortage has incurred and gives the users an adequate amount of time to save or close any project that they’re working on. This ensures the data they’re working on is safely protected. The UPS then continues to supply backup power until the battery runs out.
Though a UPS functions similarly to the conventional generator. Generators are used as a temporary power source that can keep you operational during a power outage. UPS systems provide a backup power supply that keeps your equipment running without interruptions during an outage and they protect your systems against power surges. When in comparison, the UPS provides many advantages to end users.
For one there is no delay between switching from the primary power source to the UPS. This can prevent uncertain data loss and gives you enough time to store and save your data. The maintenance of UPS systems are much cheaper than generators and business owners have the choice of choosing the type and size of the UPS depending on the amount of power needed to supply to devices. It also protects devices against fluctuating power and voltage surges.
