Top 12 uninterruptible power supplies
The stability of the power supply is the key to the smooth operation of all devices connected in the room. In many regions, unstable voltage can lead to disastrous consequences, for example, a gas boiler can function unstably, and surges can lead to failure of electrical appliances. As for computer components, such phenomena significantly reduce the service life of components and if modern power supplies are protected, then older models do not have this opportunity. To eliminate such problems and save energy, uninterruptible power supplies have been created.
