UPS is placed between power source and load to be protected (monitor, printer etc.).
It requires typically more than 5 hours to charge fully.
Used in small offices, home, personal computers etc.

Benefits of using UPS

Power failures - input power source fails.
Power surges - increase in voltage.
Power sags - decrease in voltage.
High voltages spikes - are short duration and fast changing high voltages.
Frequency variations - random changes in frequencies.
Brownouts - reduction in power supply.
