What is Uninterruptible
Power Supply?
An uninterruptible power supply, also known UPS, is an electrical apparatus
that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source,
typically mains power, fails.
A UPS is typically used to protect hardware such as computers, data centers,
telecommunication equipment or other electrical equipment where an
unexpected power disruption could cause injuries, fatalities, serious business
disruption or data loss.
