A UPS, acronym of Uninterruptible Power Supply, is an equipment that provides emergency power when 
the utility mains fails. It is equipped with batteries that start to work when a power outage occurs.   

 
It also regulates the electric flux, reducing or increasing the different electric fluctuations and 

eliminating the bad harmonics of the means. It is an appropriate protection against power overvoltages, 
surges, spikes or brownouts.  

 
These equipments are typically used to protect computers, networks, communication devices and any 

other electric device where an unexpected power surge or disruption could cause data loss or even very 
serious damages. 

  

 

The Volt-ampere (VA) is the unit to measure the UPS capacity. It is also called “apparent power”. 
However, in this catalogue you will also find the capacity measured in Watts (W), which is the real power, 

so you can easily decide which the most suitable UPS is, following to your needs.

devices and systems.

An AVR, acronym of Automatic Voltage Regulator, is an equipment designed to maintain a constant 
output voltage level, avoiding the typical voltage fluctuation of the utility mains. It regulates the electric 

flux, reducing or increasing the different electric fluctuations of the means, protecting the connected 
loads from power overvoltages, surges, spikes or brownouts, increasing their lifespan. 
  

Unlike UPS, AVR are not equipped with batteries, so the connected loads stop working in case of power 
failure.
