All systems experience both hard and soft failures. Studies have shown that up to 80% of these failures are related to AC power quality. Soft failures, like lock-ups and error messages, can be hard to identify. While a UPS provides battery backup during power outages, such outages account for less than 1% of failures.

​

What about the other 99%?

​

What protection is the UPS providing when the lights are on?

​

Is it truly conditioning the power, or is it merely responding to spikes and surges by “clamping and suppressing”? 

​

If they’re “clamping,” that means they have to respond to the event. Once there is a “response time,” the UPS let something get through. 

​

By suppressing, it means the UPS reduced the high voltage event to a lower level.

 

The big question: how low is the "let-through" voltage of the device?  learn morE
