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.

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
