Over the years, studies have shown that power supply problems (power surges, voltage spikes, fluctuations, and, in particular, power failures) are one of the main dangers for computers and other electronic devices. Unfortunately, most computer users are only partially aware of how to supply power to their PCs, which can lead to unexpected component failures.
Surge protectors are devices typically installed in extension cords that protect computers from large “power surges” caused by environmental factors such as lightning or problems with the utility’s power generation and distribution system. Unfortunately, it is not generally known that voltage fluctuations, such as power outages and brownouts, can also damage such devices. Even voltage variations that can only be detected by special circuits (e.g. when the light dims or intensifies without being noticed) can cause enough damage.
Unfortunately, because surge protectors can only handle large voltage spikes, computers are vulnerable to small variations and are therefore completely unprotected against surges and power outages.
This is what an uninterruptible power supply (also known as a UPS) does.
A UPS contains a battery that recharges when power is supplied from an electrical outlet. Like a surge protector, a UPS protects your computer from large electrical discharges. Unlike surge protectors, UPSs usually beeps when the mains voltage drops, even slightly, so that the battery can supply power to the computer. This protects the computer and alerts it to a voltage drop that often lasts only a few seconds.

The UPS can also keep your computer safe in the event of a “power outage” by providing power from the internal battery until the computer is turned off or the battery is drained. Even if the battery is completely discharged, as soon as the UPS can no longer provide the necessary power, it shuts down all power sources and continues to protect the computer by blocking under voltage. Zero power to the computer is gentler on the electronics than under-powering.
A UPS also helps protect your data. Imagine what would happen if you were working on an important document or spreadsheet and the power went out for only a few seconds (most power outages are actually that short). Without a UPS, your computer would reboot and all the changes you made since the last “save” (you do save a lot, don’t you?) would be lost. Without a UPS, your computer would reboot and all the changes you made since the last “backup” (how many times do you back up?) would be lost. However, with a UPS, your computer will continue to run and you can pat yourself on the back for being sensible enough to invest in a UPS.
