What is a UPS with AVR?
As a general rule we recommend that all of our customers have their computers and internet equipment plugged into a UPS with AVR. UPS stands for Uninterrupted Power Supply, and is commonly referred to as a battery back-up. AVR is a feature that is available on some UPS units. AVR stands for Automatic Voltage Regulation. The use of a UPS with an AVR will greatly lengthen the life of most electronics plugged into it as it shields them from not only black-outs but also under voltage, over voltage and “noisy” power.
