The power runs from the battery, it protects you against spikes and such, as well as continuous power on an outage. When the power goes out you will be glad you have it.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Confirmed. How Short Does Your Transfer Time Need To Be? The length of the transfer time will depend on the technology and equipment you are using the UPS to power. Specifically, you need to be aware of the hold-up time for your power supply. That way, you can guarantee that the load will not reboot or reset in the time it takes you to transfer the power. If your load is computer equipment, then it is recommended that you do have no more than 5 milliseconds of transfer time. Due to this, you should make sure that you are investing in at least a line-interactive UPS. If there are highly sensitive electronics that you need to keep powered on, then an online UPS with zero milliseconds of transfer time is always going to be the recommended choice. Typically offline and line-interactive systems will be a suitable choice for most equipment. Anywhere up to eight milliseconds of transfer time should allow your systems to function uninterrupted. However, if you have sensitive equipment then an online UPS will provide the peace of mind you need.
