Best Answer

Many businesses and companies rely on their computers to function properly. An uninterruptable power supply (UPS) gives them the opportunity to properly close down any computers in use if there is a power cut.

A UPS is basically a large rechargeable battery. While the mains power is present, it charges itself so it's ready for use in an emergency. If the mains power fails, circuitry in the UPS instantly switch the supply to the battery instead of the mains.

The user then has a limited time in which to finish their work, and close down the computer. Some businesses (such as the emergency services) have generator systems in addition to UPS - to enable their control rooms to continue running in the event of a black-out etc.

Why is there a USB port on my UPS?

You would need to check with the manufacturer of the UPS. Most likely this is to connect to the computer that the UPS is supporting. As the UPS will only be able to power the computer for a small amount of time there is normally a connection between the computer and UPS. This is for the UPS to tell the computer it is now running on the batteries and to tell the computer to shut-down in a controlled way.

What the use of computer UPS?

A computer UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is designed to provide power to a computer system if normal power fails. The length of time a UPS will support a computer depends on the capacity of the UPS and the draw of the system being supported. Properly configured and installed, most systems will monitor the UPS and begin a normal shutdown when notified by the UPS that a power outage is in process. Some are large enough to maintain computer operations long enough for backup power generation to come online.
