There are three factors that are taken into account when measuring runtime. Read the rest
How UPS Systems Work: UPS Systems use of battery or flywheel as a backup system – an electrical device that powers electronic equipment when the power source experiences dips and surges or when the power fails entirely.
UPS Systems differ from generators and will provide instant (or pretty close to) protection from interruptions with the use of batteries and related electronic circuitry – these are for lower power users. Read the rest
