A UPS, or uninterruptible power supply of source, are very useful electrical devices that can protect delicate, and or mission critical devices, from a power surge or power outage. This can be just a slight pulsation in the general electrical supply to a massive surge, that may be present further down the supply chain or even a lighting strike to an all out power cut. Any of these can damage computer equipment and lose vital data. Of course in places like hospitals for example, it could be the difference between life and death. Even if there is provision for a generator to kick in when required, you still need to maintain a level of constant feed, which only a UPS is capable of doing.

These kinds of devices differ from a backup generator or emergency power system, as it will provide almost instant protection, and will not trip out sensitive equipment. These items can be used in tandem with backup power sources to provide protection from the extra longevity of initial power outage, and can be combined with software to shut down devices properly within a period should the power fail.

UPS back up devices are typically used to provide power protection to telecommunications, computers and servers in data centres and offices, and increasingly even in the home. The set ups they use to protect are forever growing, from just a single outlet to whole building including critical equipment in hospitals, and other places where power disruption could be dangerous or even fatal.

Generally, the primary function of the UPS is to provide protection from power surges from electrical supply. This includes even lighting strikes, and some also have a standby time to continue supplying power. This may just be so the equipment can be automatically shut down via software control, or some may be significantly longer with varying levels of protection, redundancy and fluctuations in supply.

Most uninterruptible power supplies have user replaceable batteries. This is normally made relatively easy to do, so they can be replaced in the office by someone who is competent. This may be from just swapping out a cartridge module with new batteries that is fully hot swap capable, to powering down and fitting new batteries. If you are doing the latter it is important that you disconnect from your network and the mains power source. If in any doubt, you should seek the advice of a professional. Most of these installations take only minutes.
