There are several applications where even a temporary power failure can cause a great deal of public inconvenience leading to large economic losses. Example of such applications are major computer installations, process control in chemical plants, safety monitors, general communication system, hospitals intensive care units, etc. for such critical loads ,it is paramount importance to provide an uninterruptible

Generally used in personal computers . cheap and efficient . In situation where short interruption (4 to 5ms) in supply can be tolerated ,the stand by UPS is used. In this system main ac supply is rectified to dc .the dc output from the rectifier charges the batteries and is also converted to ac by an inverter. After passing through the filter ac can be delivered to load . Name is Stand by because the inverter work when the power fails
LINE INTRACTIVE /NO-BREAK The most common used for small business ,web and departmental servers. Inverter remains always on state .provide reduced switching transients ,and additional filtering
STAND BY FERRO
In the Standby-Ferro design, the inverter is in the standby mode, and is energized when the input power fails and the transfer switch is opened.

Power management (PM) requires 1.The UPS to report its status to the computer it powers via a communications link such as a serial port, Ethernet or USB
2.A subsystem in the OS that processes the reports and generates notifications, generates PM events or commands an ordered shut down.
In conclusion, a UPS is a must if you want to keep your computer's electronic components healthy from power damage. Basically, it's like a surge protector with it's own temporarily power source. UPS is a essential device in our day to day life. it saves valuable time, life and money. It covers vast area of application .it is very efficient. Various UPS types are appropriate for different uses , and no single UPS type is ideal for all application .significant difference s in UPS design offer theoretical and practical advantages for different purposes. Nevertheless, the basic quality of design implementation and manufactured quality are often dominant in determining the ultimate performance.
