Answer: Any device which exceeds a computer's VA/Watt rating should not be plugged into the outlets. Most printers can be plugged into a power strip. A laser printer, however, should be plugged directly into the wall.

How a ups is connected to system?

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a device that contains a rechargeable battery and one or more power connectors. Once the device is plugged into a wall socket, it begins charging its internal battery. Then other devices can be plugged into it such that, when the power goes out, the UPS will power your devices for some length of time. However, unless more complicated devices like your computer know when the UPS cuts in so they can shut down gracefully. When you shut down your computer, and there are files that have been modified but not "closed", the information on the hard disk in your computer isn't properly updated. So the new data that's been added is lost, resulting in wasted disk space. This is where CHKDSK comes in handy. Modern UPS devices have a special connector on it and come with a cable that has one end that plugs into that connector, and the other end into your USB port on your computer. Once it's plugged in, if Windows doesn't recognize it, you will need to visit the Web site for the company that built your UPS and download the software drivers, and install them. Once Windows (or another applicable operating system) sees your UPS, you can configure the system and the UPS to be able to work together to turn your computer off when the UPS loses power from the wall socket. For more information on this, read the user manual that came with the UPS. If there is no manual, you can generally download one from the manufacturer's Web site. If it's in PDF format, you will need to install Adobe Reader (free of charge except applicable Internet charges) to view it.

What is the operating principle of power supply?

Typical home use UPS devices for computers are plugged into your AC power. There is an input circuit that converts AC to DC and continuously charges the internal batteries in the UPS device. The DC output from the batteries is then converted to AC to power the computer or other device connected to the UPS. There is also a circuit that detects that the house power is no longer functioning and typically sounds an alarm of some sort.
