Uninterruptible Power Supply, abbreviated to UPS. Its function is to provide devices with power using the battery when any electrical disturbances occur, whether it is a decrease in current or a complete interruption. A UPS is a huge power bank for your computer. The difference is that it supplies the computer with power instantly from the battery when the power goes out, thanks to the presence of an automatic transfer switch (ATS). These supplies are used in institutions, factories, hospitals, schools, and more recently, homes.

We are now faced with problems of power outages for a period of up to more than two hours, and it is expected to reach four or five hours in the summer, as loads increase and the efficiency of the electrical network also decreases due to increased heat. All of these reasons make us turn to alternative solutions to provide the necessary electrical energy, and the first way some people think is It involves using a special diesel generator to operate during a power outage, but we face many problems such as:

* The loud and annoying sound caused by the generator, and if we buy a silencer generator, the price will be very high.
* Harmful exhausts coming out of the generator, so we need a special place for the generator, which must be well ventilated.
* Frequent malfunctions in the generator, so it requires frequent and periodic maintenance.
* The generator needs fuel to operate, and it can be either gasoline or diesel, which increases the operating cost.

Why use a UPS?

* Does not require fuel.
* No exhaust or gases come out.
* Safe as it does not contain rotating parts.
* It works quickly after a power outage (i.e. it does not require waiting time to work as in a generator).

What is a UPS device?

The Uninterruptible Power Supply Unit (UPS) is a feeding unit in the event of an absence of power supply, protecting electricity and regulating it according to the electrical standards necessary to operate electronic and medical devices, computers, networks, communications devices, printing devices, and industrial devices when the power supply is tampered with or interrupted.
