But, nothing is ever ideal, current flow also has its shortcomings such as, noise, spikes surges and total power loss. Hence, to overcome these shot-comings UPS battery backup system was invented.

UPS system is an electrical device which is designed to deliver an emergency uninterrupted power supply to the machine when there is a power loss from the mains. With the emergence of new technologies, this device can be now used in various important fields on a very large scale to provide alternative power supply to the heavy machines and equipment’s.
