Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a device that functions as a tool to store and provide alternative backup power when electronic equipment suddenly loses electrical power from its main source.
This UPS device can also be used as a tool to regulate the electric current received by electronic devices to be more stable. With the UPS device, the electronic equipment connected to it will be safer from damage due to unstable or sudden power failure.

1. As a Temporary Electricity Reserve
Fungsi utama dari sebuah UPS adalah untuk memberikan daya listrik cadangan pada peralatan elektronik (misalnya The main function of a UPS is to provide backup power to electronic equipment (eg computers, refrigerators, TVs, etc.) when the main power source goes out.
A UPS is capable of storing electrical power with a certain capacity so that it can be used to supply temporary electrical power to electronic equipment connected to it. That way, the electronic equipment does not immediately turn off when the electricity is suddenly cut off.
2. Stabilizing Electric Current
SIn general, the electricity voltage in housing or offices can experience instability due to obstacles. That is why the electric current that enters electronic equipment is not always in a constant state.
A UPS can make the electric current that goes into electronic devices become more stable so that these electronic devices can be used properly as they should.
3. Preventing Damage to Electronic Equipment
As we know, the condition of the electric voltage that often fluctuates can cause damage to electronic equipment, especially computer equipment. Not only unstable electricity voltages, sudden power outages such as those that occurred in several parts of Indonesia have the potential to cause damage to electronic goods.
Dengan adanya UPS, maka potensi kerusakan barang-barang elektronik akibat tegangan listrik yang tidak stabil atau pemadaman listrik secara tiba-tiba dapat diatasi, atau setidaknya diminimalisir.
UPS Components
UPS equipment consists of several components that are interconnected with each other. The following are some of the components of the UPS:
A computer connected to the UPS will not turn off immediately when the power goes out from the source. The UPS will automatically provide power to the computer for about 10-17 minutes. That way, we can still save the data we are working on, then turn off the computer normally.
