Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) provides backup power to devices during a power outage or disturbance. It can maintain power for a few minutes allowing for proper shutdown of devices or it can provide power for a longer period of time to allow for continuity of critical operations. Power strips and surge protectors do not provide backup power during a blackout. A password generator is not related to power supply.
