UPS Terms:

UPS: Uniterruptible Power Systems
TVSS: Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors
SPD: Surge Protective Devices
MOV: metal Oxide Varistor; The MOV is used to clamp transient voltages, diverting a potentially high surge current from entering the main circuit causing component failure.
Joule Rating: The joule rating indicates how much energy a surge protection device can handle.

UPS Standards: UL1449 the Standard for Safety for Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors [covers testing and evaluation of TVSS devices] IEEE Std C62.11-1993: Standard for metal-Oxide Surge Arresters for Alternating Current Power Circuits IEEE Std C62.22-1997: Guide for the Application of metal-Oxide Surge Arresters for Alternating-Current Systems ANSI/IEEE C62.33-1982: Standard Test Specifications for Varistor Surge-Protective Devices IEEE Std C62.34-1996: Standard for Performance of Low-Voltage Surge-Protective Devices (Secondary Arresters) IEEE C62.41-1991: Recommended Practice on Surge Voltages in Low-Voltage AC Power Circuits IEEE 587: now ANSI/IEEE C62.41-xxxx IEC EN 6100-4-4: Fast Transient Test IEC EN 61000-4-5: Surge Immunity Test Refer to the EMI / RFI page for AC power line filter components, or here for Power Supplies manufacturers. This particular APC UPS has three AC connections that are surge protected and four AC outlets that use the battery back-up. Note the surge protected RJ phone lines and 10BaseT Ethernet lines included on the unit.

A UPS consists of an inverter, usually electronic, that is powered by a battery that is kept trickle-charged by rectified AC from the incoming power line fed by the utility. In the event of an interruption, the battery takes over without the loss of even a fraction of a cycle in the ac output of the UPS. The battery also provides protection against transients. The duration of the longest outage for which protection is ensured depends on the battery capacity, and to a certain degree, on the rate at which the battery is drained. Note 2: An UPS should not be confused with a standby generator, which may not provide protection from a momentary power interruption, or which may result in a momentary power interruption when it is switched into service, whether manually or automatically.
