Computers rely on a clean and continuous electricity supply to operate effectively. This article briefly reports on the development of uninterrupible power systems (UPS) by Emerson Electric UK Ltd which are designed to replace mains supply when a failure occurs and to condition the mains supply so that frequency variations or line noises are not transmitted to the computers. This prevents system crashes and data corruption.
