Every day the earth is struck by about 44,000 storms leading to major deterioration of electrical, telephone and industrial installations.
A recent study, undertaken by IBM, has revealed that a computer is subjected to more than 120 power supply problems per month .
>> These disturbances cause many problems in the IT setup :
- System shutdown and untimely breakdown.
- Data processing errors.
- Total system cutout.
>>Consequences:
- Loss of several hours of data entry.
- Destruction of precious data.
- Erroneous calculations and figures.
- Rapid wear of hardware.
- Partial or total destruction of the hard drive.
A hefty financial blow!
There is one way to overcome all these risks:
The UPS - Uninterruptible Power Supply |

Normal voltage supplied by the EDF (French Electricity Department):

|
Sudden variations in voltage |
Voltage troughs |
|
|
|
Slow variations in voltage |
HF transient disturbances |
|
|
|
Frequency variation |
Voltage unbalance |
