Uninterruptible Power Supplies - UPS

What is a UPS ?

It's a "Black Box" with a line in from the mains supply an one or more clean
supply outlets. Under normal circumstances, the mains supply is fed through a
filter and output to the load (s) via a mechanical switch. A battery charger
maintains the state of charge of the battery, and there is a detection circuit, which
constantly monitors the state of the mains.

When the mains supply goes outside tolerance, for example during a power
failure, the inverter is switched on and draws power from the battery. It takes a
short while for the unit to detect the mains failure, turn on the inverter and change
the power path via the mechanical switch. This results in a short break in the
supply to the load, and this interval is called the transfer time. This is likely to be
less than 4 milliseconds, and is imperceptible to the majority of computers or
similar equipment.

If you suffer from Power cuts or still on the builders supply, a UPS is an essential
item to prevent damage to valuable electrical equipment such as PC's Video
players and Satellite Systems
