What is an uninterrupted power supply?

One of the best lines of defense for your computer is an uninterrupted power supply (UPS). Nothing can harm a computer quicker than a power surge or a “spike” in a telephone line. Because you cannot depend on the power being constant at all times, a UPS protects the operating system in two ways. First, it provides a constant, steady voltage to run your computer. Secondly, if the power shuts off for any length of time, the battery in the UPS unit keeps the computer running for a limited time so that you can shut it down normally.
