Uninterrupted Power Supply

Understanding UPS Fundamentals

Before diving into the specifics of the MAXIUPS800DG, it’s crucial to understand what a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) does:

• Power Backup: A UPS provides temporary battery power during a power outage, allowing you to save your work and safely shut down devices.   
• Surge Protection: It shields connected equipment from power surges and voltage spikes, which can damage sensitive electronics.   
• Voltage Regulation: Some UPS models, including likely the MAXIUPS800DG, may offer basic voltage regulation, stabilizing incoming power to prevent fluctuations that can affect performance.

Understanding the Basics: UPS and KVA

Before we focus on the specific model, it’s crucial to understand the fundamental concepts:

• UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): A device that provides backup power when the main power source fails or fluctuates. It protects sensitive electronic equipment from damage and data loss.   
• KVA (Kilovolt-Ampere): A measure of apparent power. It represents the total power delivered by the UPS, including both real power (watts) and reactive power. In simpler terms, it indicates the UPS’s capacity to handle a load.   
• 1.2KVA: In this case, it signifies that the Maxi UPS can deliver up to 1.2 kilovolt-amperes of power.
