UNITED PARCEL SERVICE -- since this is a business question. UPS is the delivery company with the familiar brown trucks.
if this were an electronics or computer question - ups could also mean uninterruptable power supply. |

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS), uninterruptible power source or sometimes called a battery backup is a device which maintains a continuous supply of electric power to connected equipment by supplying power from a separate source when utility power is not available.
A UPS is inserted between the source of power (typically commercial utility power) and the load it is protecting. When a power failure or abnormality occurs, the UPS will effectively switch from utility power to its own power source almost instantaneously.
While not limited to any particular type of equipment, a UPS is typically used to protect computers, telecommunication equipment or other electrical equipment where an unexpected power disruption could cause injuries, fatalities, serious business disruption or data loss. UPS units come in sizes ranging from units which will back up a single computer without monitor (around 200 VA) to units which will power entire data centers or buildings (several megawatts). Larger UPS units typically work in conjunction with generators.
Historically, UPS units were very expensive and were most likely to be used on expensive computer systems and in areas where the power supply is interrupted frequently. However, UPS units are now more affordable, and have become an essential piece of equipment for data centers and business computers, but are also used for personal computers, entertainment systems and more.
In certain countries, where the electrical grid is under strain providers struggle to ensure supply during times of peak demand (such as Summer where air-conditioning usage increases). In order to prevent blackouts, electrical utilities will sometimes use a process called rolling blackouts or load shedding, which involves cutting the power to large groups of customers for short periods of time. Several major blackouts occurred in 2003, most notably the 2003 North America blackout in the north-eastern US and eastern Canada and the 2003 Italy blackout, both of which affected over 50 million people, and brought attention to the need for UPS power backup units.
A UPS is not to be confused with a standby generator, which does not provide protection from a momentary power interruption and may result in an interruption when it is switched into service, whether manually or automatically. However, such generators are typically placed before the UPS to provide cover for lengthy outages. |

UPS can be either Upper Primary School, Uninterrupted Power Supply and some associations belongs to the state of Uttar Pradesh also. The new generation has stopped the practice of writing the abbreviations and it is confused others to get the desired result. Use always the full form of words in one paragraph or article. Initially give the full form within bracket the abbreviation and then use the abbreviation for convenience. While talking, say the abbreviation for the time-beings only. |

UPS stands for Uninterrupted Power Supply used in PCs to maintain supply of power for a short period of time during power cuts. The disk of a PC runs at a speed of 7200 rpm so sudden suspension of power damages the disk and affects performance. To prevent damage to the PC hardware UPS is used. |

In computers, it means Un-interrupted Power Supply. It is supposed to be attached to your CPU (Central Processing Unit) so that when the main electricity goes off, you have a backup time (usually of 20 mins) to save your unsaved work and shut down your system properly without creating any problems or conflicts in files, which was the earlier case as the computers used to switch off without a warning as the lights went out ! |
