   (UPS)

An Uninterruptible Power Supply is a device that sits between a power supply (e.g. a wall outlet) and a device (e.g. a computer) to prevent undesired features of the power source (outages, sags, surges, bad harmonics, etc.) from the supply from adversely affecting the performance of the device.

A UPS traditionally can perform the following functions:

  • Absorb relatively small power surges.
  • Smooth out noisy power sources.
  • Continue to provide power to equipment during line sags.
  • Provide power for some time after a blackout has occurred.


    In addition, some UPS or UPS/software combinations provide the following functions:

  • Automatic shutdown of equipment during long power outages.
  • Monitoring and logging of the status of the power supply.
  • Display the Voltage/Current draw of the equipment.
  • Restart equipment after a long power outage.
  • Display the voltage currently on the line.
  • Provide alarms on certain error conditions.
  • Provide short circuit protection.
