What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system?

Most organizations, when faced with the likelihood of downtime, and data processing errors caused by utility power, choose to implement an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system between the public power distribution system and their mission-critical loads.

What does a UPS protect against?

A UPS, or a uninterruptible power supply, is a device used to backup a power supply to prevent devices and systems from power supply problems, such as a power failure or lightning strikes. A UPS can help prevent power supply problems that can often occur on a production site, such as an instantaneous voltage drop and a power failure.

What are the components of a UPS system?

Components: Parts of a typical UPS system are an inverter, which transforms stored DC power back into AC power after a power loss, a battery, which stores electrical energy, and a rectifier, which converts incoming AC power to DC power for charging the internal battery.
