Power protection for different needs
In short, the job of a UPS is to protect against the top nine power
problems below:
1. Power failure - standby, line interactive and on-line solutions
Typically caused by lightning strike or fault with the power company’s equipment.
Without a UPS, this will cause a hard shutdown, putting data at risk.
2. Power Sag (standby, line interactive and on-line solutions)
Short-term voltage reduction, often caused by start-up of nearby large loads.
Power sags can cause equipment crashes and hardware damage.
3. Power surge (standby, line interactive and on-line solutions)
Short-term high voltage, usually caused by lightning strike nearby. Spikes very often
lead to data loss and/or hardware damage.
Typical usage of standby UPS solutions (power problems 1-3)
Desktop PCs
CCTV equipment
