Give short notes on stable power supply.

Give short notes on stable power supply.

Answers

Computers are delicate devices that require a stable source of power.
- Ensure that there is a steady flow of input power to the computer in order to prevent loss of data or information & also prevent damaging the computer’s secondary storage media.
Note. Power from main supply is not always stable and may sometimes experience power surges or under voltage (also referred to as Brownout). To protect the computer from being damaged due to power instabilities especially in areas where power fluctuates, avoid connecting it directly to the main supply. Instead, it is important to connect the computer to a special power correction equipment or device such as a Stabilizer or Uninterrupted power supply /source (UPS), then connect the UPS to the main supply.



The UPS gets charged when the main power is on. When the main power goes off, the UPS gives some sound (usually a beep) to alert the user.
