UPS vs Surge Protectors
August 8, 2011
Many people know the value of a good surge protector. Its easy to see the benefits of being protected from random power surges and possible lightning damage. A mid- to high end surge protector can even protect your cable television, phone, and network!
So what is the difference between a surge protector and a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)? Do you need one?
If you have 2 or more PCs on a network, YES. If you have work that would be irreparably damaged if interrupted by a power outage, YES. If your business depends on access to your computer, YES.
According to Wikipedia, “An uninterruptible power supply, also uninterruptible power source, UPSor battery/flywheel backup, is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source, typically the utility mains, fails. “. Most UPSs also function as surge protectors for the devices that are connected to them.
Having a UPS is having security and peace of mind that your computer and its important data is protected from unexpected shut downs from loss of power. When the inevitable occurs, you have the time to safely save your work and correctly shut down your PC.
