ups-uninterputed power supply

no.

what the person wanted to know the difference between IPS and UPS where ,

IPS= Instant Power Supply

UPS= Uninterruptible/Uninterrupted Power Supply

IPS and UPS both got battery backup and both will supply power when main line fails....but.... the main difference between them is, UPS will not allow any power drop while switching to battery in a very little fraction of second (0.1 or less) so that the user's computer or any devices connected with will not reset or restarts, that means no interruption.

whereas IPS may require a minimum switching time of 1 second or more and causes user's devices to reset or restart. this power drop and sudden power up may harm electronic devices.

hope i made it clear.

for advanced readers, please read books on electronics where capacitors used in many ways.
