Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Overview:
Introduction:
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is an electrical device that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails. A UPS differs from a standby generator in that it provides near-instantaneous protection from input power interruptions, by supplying energy stored in batteries. Standby generators typically take several seconds to start up and may have a brief voltage drop when they do.
UPSs are used in a wide variety of applications, including data centers, hospitals, telecommunications networks, and industrial control systems. They are also used in personal computers and other electronic devices to protect them from power surges and outages.
