A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) allows a computer to keep operating in the event that main electrical power is loss. This may allow just enough time to save any work and shut down safely, or it may provide enough power to keep operating for a long period of time until power can be restored.
A UPS device will also contain a surge suppression device to protect against power surges, but you can get these without purchasing a UPS.

∙ 11y agoAn uninterruptable power supply (UPS) basically stores power in case the mains to the computer is lost or switched off. Basically, it's like a huge rechargeable battery, with a sensor to detect when the mains fails. Soon as that happens, the UPS switches over to internal power so the user can continue working in order to save any open files, and properly shut down the computer.
