Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A UPS, or Uninterruptible Power Supply, provides backup power to desktop computers in the event of a power outage, allowing them to remain powered on. Surge suppressors can protect against power spikes, but do not provide backup power. Voltage controllers and meters do not provide any protection or backup power.
