An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device that provides temporary battery-backed power during utility-power interruptions and may also provide surge suppression, voltage regulation, and power-conditioning functions.
UPS systems are commonly used to protect computers, servers, networking equipment, telecommunications systems, and other electronic devices from power outages and electrical disturbances.
Unlike conventional surge protectors, UPS systems incorporate rechargeable batteries and inverter circuitry capable of supplying power to connected equipment when utility power is unavailable.

Historical Notes
UPS technology became increasingly common during the personal-computing era as businesses and home users sought protection from power outages, voltage fluctuations, and data loss.
Modern UPS systems may incorporate surge suppression, automatic voltage regulation (AVR), network-management capabilities, and pure sine-wave output.
