Uninterrupted Power Supply. A backup battery module attached to a computer that allows memory contents to remain intact long enough for the operating system to perform an orderly system shutdown if a power outage occurs.
Abbreviation for uninterupatible power supply. A device containing a battery that allows a computer to keep running for at least a short time after the primary power source is lost. When the UPS notifies a user of the power loss, the user can save any data he or she is working on and exit the computer before the battery runs out. During a spike or power surge, the UPS intercepts the surge or spike so that it doesn't damage a user's computer.
A battery backup that automatically takes over when the power goes out, allowing you to save your work. A UPS also protects system components against power surges and sags.
Provides backup electrical power. It continues to provide a steady level of power if the normal electrical power fails or if the voltage drops below acceptable levels.
Full power redundancy ensures your site will not be harmed during a power outage. UPS serves as emergency power supplies.
A battery power supply that can run a computer and peripheral devises and components temporarily if electrical power is interrupted.
A device that can operate either with a DC battery back-up or an AC input line. Commonly used to provide power for equipment during temporary or permanent loss of power.
A Standby UPS switches to battery if the AC power fails. An On Line UPS switches to mains if the battery fails.
An electrical device providing an interface between the mains power supply and sensitive loads (computer systems, instrumentation, etc.). The UPS supplies sinusoidal AC power free of disturbances and within strict amplitude and frequency tolerances. It is generally made up of a rectifier/charger and an inverter together with a battery for backup power in the event of a mains failure.
A device designed to supply power in the event of temporary or permanent loss of ac line power. Often these supplies will operate with either an ac line input or dc battery backup input.
The UPS is plugged between the mains and the computer. Equipped with a battery bank, a voltage regulator and a fuse, it ensures high quality stabilized voltage level to the current supplying the computer. In case of unexpected failure, it prevents instant shut down of the computer and provides between 20 and 30 minutes autonomy for backup. It protects also against micro cuts (the hard drive may be harmed by failures, blackouts, cuts and voltage variations, above all during writing process). If you are connected to the ground, the UPS protects computers and networks against surges (due to lightning or technical problems).
(Uninterruptible Power Supply): A device that supplies continuous power to computers and switches by converting energy stored in batteries to 120 Volts AC. Commercial power is used to charge the batteries. In the event that commercial power is lost, a UPS will provide power until the batteries run down, commercial power is restored, or a generator is turned on. In many installations, a UPS is used for short-term outages and gives time for the generator to be started and stabilized to power equipment during prolonged power outages.

Uninterrupted Power Supply. Equipment (usually a bank of batteries) that offers short-term protection against power surges and outages. Note that UPS usually only allows enough time for vital systems to be correctly powered down.
Uninterruptible Power Supply. A UPS is a device that allows your computer to keep running for at least a short time when the primary power source is lost. It also provides protection from power surges. It "kicks in" when the device senses a loss of power from the primary source. If you are using the computer when the UPS notifies you of the power loss, you have time to save any data you are working on and exit gracefully before the secondary power source (the battery) runs out. When all power runs out, any data in your computer's random access memory (RAM) is erased. When power surges occur, a UPS intercepts the surge so that it doesn't damage your computer.
