What is UPS? What is UPS for?

UPS, the full name of Uninterruptible Power Supply, as its name implies, it is a kind of standby power supply equipment that can provide continuous, stable and uninterrupted power for computers, servers, network equipment and other electrical appliances.

Its main role is like a "power bodyguard", taking over the power supply immediately when the mains is abnormal, ensuring that the equipment will not be interrupted or damaged due to power failure or power problems. You don't have to, but you can't not know it. You can think of the mains, the electricity coming from a wall socket, as an unstable river. Sometimes the water is rapid, like the voltage is too high; sometimes the water is exhausted, like the voltage is too low. Sometimes it is even completely cut off, that is, a power outage. And your computer and company's server are like a small workshop by the river that requires continuous water to operate. Once the water flows out, the entire factory may shut down or even be damaged. UPS is the "big water tank + a smart water pump" of this factory. Under normal circumstances (with electricity), river water (commercial power) will first flow into the water tank (UPS), and the water tank will automatically filter out sediment and impurities (purify electricity), and then the pump smoothly delivers clean water into the factory for use.

At the same time, the water tank will also quietly be filled with clear water (charging the battery) in case of emergency needs. Under abnormal circumstances (power failure or unstable voltage), if the river water suddenly cuts off or becomes turbid (power failure or abnormal voltage), the smart water pump will automatically switch the water source and instead pump clean water (battery power) pre-stored in the water tank to continue to supply stable water to the factory. Therefore, the work of the factory will not be immediately interrupted due to power outages.

In summary, UPS mainly does two big things for you:

1. Life-saving: It can be immediately lifted when there is a sudden power outage, giving you time to save files and shut down normally to avoid data loss and hardware damage

2. Conditioning: Even if there is no power outage, the mains supply often has minor problems such as unstable voltage. UPS can condition these problematic electricity into stable and clean electricity and then give it to your equipment, extending the life of the equipment.
