Why do we need a UPS
UPS prevents your devices from getting shut off accidentally after a power failure or power cut. If you are working on a computer and the power went off suddenly this will affect your ongoing work. You will not be able to retrieve your work. Sometimes this sudden power failure can also harm the components of your computer like motherboard and hard disk.
UPS prevents this sudden turning off and switches automatically to the battery.
