Power Interruptions

The Electronic Power Research Institute (EPRI) estimates that power interruptions (even those as short as one-sixtieth of a second) cost American businesses $50 billion each year.

The Effects of Electrical Overstress

Electron microscopy reveals the harmful effects of electrical overstress on delicate computer chips. High-frequency transients often cause degradation of the silicon substrate such as the pitting shown here. Semiconductor chips damaged in this way can run hot, perform unreliably and ultimately fail.Normal Semiconductor Damaged Semiconductor

5 Reasons for using a UPS

• Disaster recovery, it’s not a matter of “if” but “when”.

• Clean utility power at the point of “connection” is your problem.

• Short term outages are abundant, over 120 power problems a month

• Outages are costly, $2,000 to $50,000 per hour

• Surge suppressors will not address brownouts, blackouts, or high voltage conditions

• A single outage easily covers the cost of a UPS
