How does an uninterruptible power supply operate?

1 Answer

Answer :

An uninterruptible power supply (or UPS) operates, in most cases, as a specialized battery for the computer. The computer will be plugged into the UPS battery. And when the power goes down or surges, the UPS will take over and supply power at the proper voltage.
