What power conditions will a uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery backup protect against?


Many power problems originate in the commercial power grid, which, with its thousands of miles of transmission lines, is subject to damage from weather variations such as hurricanes, lightning storms, snow, ice, and flooding, as well as equipment failure and traffic accidents.
For more information on the different types of power problems, please see our white paper, The Seven Types of Power Problems.
