Power Protection Devices
Certain devices protect the system from the effects of problems such as power surges and power
failures.
●
PDU — Uses circuit breakers to ensure that the AC current load does not exceed the PDU's
rating.
●
Surge protector — Prevents voltage spikes, such as those that may occur during an electrical
storm, from entering the system through the electrical outlet and network port. They do not
protect against brownouts, which occur when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below
the normal AC line voltage level.
●
Line conditioner — Maintains a system's AC power source voltage at a moderately constant
level and provides protection from brownouts, but does not protect against a complete power
loss.
●
UPS — Uses battery power to keep the system running when AC power is unavailable. The
battery is charged by AC power while it is available so that after AC power is lost, the battery
can provide power to the system for a limited amount of time—from 15 minutes to
approximately an hour. A UPS that provides only 5 minutes of battery power allows you to
shutdown the system. Use surge protectors and PDUs with all universal power supplies, and
ensure that the UPS is UL-safety approved.
