What is UPS?
UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply. A UPS device provides back up power stored in batteries to a critical load when the primary power source fails, providing near-instantaneous protection from harmful power interruptions.
A UPS device or system can be used to protect critical applications in homes, small and medium businesses, data centers and other applications from unexpected power disruptions which could potentially cause injury or death, severe business fluctuations, or data loss.
