• Standby or Offline UPS– This type of UPS is mostly found useful for small power spikes and prevent computer from outages. In a standby UPS, a switch is activated and then power is supplied from the battery rather than from the standard line voltage in case of power failure.

• Online UPS- Online UPS is known for providing a much greater level of protection due to its superior power-conditioning capabilities. It offers complete isolation and protection from electrical disturbances by providing conditioned electrical power along with added outage protection. This UPS is the best choice while used for mission-critical applications. There is no delay in backup power in the event of failure of utility power.
