Term of the day : 'Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)'
A type of power supply (PSU) designed to support the load for specified periods when the line varies outside specified limits. Generally they are powered by ac (with battery operation taking over when the ac supply fails) and supply ac on their output. Most likely to be used to protect telecommunications equipment and computer systems.
