What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)?

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or uninterruptible power source is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails.

What is a dynamic uninterruptible power supply?

For large power units, dynamic uninterruptible power supplies (DUPS) are sometimes used. A synchronous motor/alternator is connected on the mains via a choke. Energy is stored in a flywheel. When the mains power fails, an eddy-current regulation maintains the power on the load as long as the flywheel's energy is not exhausted.

What happens if a power ups voltage is distorted?

The voltage distortion then can cause problems in all electrical equipment connected to that power source, including the UPS itself. It will also cause more power to be lost in the wiring supplying power to the UPS due to the spikes in current flow.

What is a UPS battery & how does it work?
