Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is specifically designed to provide backup power to a computer or server when the electricity goes off. It contains a built-in battery that can keep the device running for a certain amount of time, allowing users to save their work and safely shut down the system. Surge suppressors, voltage controllers, and voltage meters are all designed for different purposes and do not provide the same level of protection as a UPS.
