It is also equipped with built-in surge protection to guard connect- ed equipment against electrical damage. When your wall outlet is supplying normal AC power flow, the UPS provides surge protection and draws energy to charge its internal battery.When the AC power flow becomes abnormal, as in the instance of a blackout, the UPS will supply power to the connected equipment immediately, via its internal battery.
