What is a UPS?

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a backup power device that provides power to electronics during outages and stabilizes voltage fluctuations. It stores energy in a battery and instantly supplies power when the mains fail, protecting sensitive equipment from damage, data loss, and sudden shutdowns.

Why You Need a UPS

Power inconsistencies are common in many parts of Kenya — especially during peak hours or rainy seasons. A UPS safeguards computers, servers, network equipment, and home electronics against:

• Sudden blackouts
• Voltage spikes and surges
• Brownouts and flickering power
• Data corruption and hardware damage
