Computers Accessories Uninterrupted Power Supplies
It's already past three in the morning and Jim is almost done writing that thesis. Suddenly the lights go out. Thankfully Jim's computer is still on and he hears beeping sounds from the
uninterrupted power supply, also known as a UPS, warning him that he still has 5 to 15 minutes to save his work before the UPS's back up power totally drains. Good thing Jim was ready with an uninterrupted power supply. Unfortunately, we take the importance of a UPS during a sudden power failure for granted.
The Benefits of a UPS
Uninterrupted power supplies, also referred to as
standby generator, they provide instant backup power.
Types of UPS
A variety of design approaches are used to implement
UPS systems, each with distinct performance characteristics. The most common design approaches are as follows:
* '''
power conditioner, a standby UPS is not designed to deal well with power surge and sag, and even low frequency conditions that can occur shortly during actual loss of power. These minor UPS incapabilities may damage some sensitive digital equipment.
* '''
AC charger. The laptop keeps running uninterrupted even if the power cord is unplugged.
