While on the front-end, the focus on working from home is having stable internet and availability of gadgets, power outages must also be a consideration.

For people who intend to make WFH a permanent option, a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) device is important to ensure that children don’t miss out on the day’s lessons because of a
power outage.

“A UPS can protect these critical devices from main supply problems, including spikes, voltage dips, fluctuations, and complete power failures, using a dedicated battery,” said Jason Lim, country manager of Vertiv Philippines. “Having a UPS at home can also help in bridging the gap as it seamlessly switches the source to battery mode so devices can continue working until they are safely shut down, or the main power is restored.”

If there is a power outage, even for a moment, the loss of power can be detrimental. Several files could become inaccessible, or worse, deleted permanently. Some devices might even be damaged due to sudden shutdown. There is also the risk of having additional cost implications for their repair or replacement.

Vertiv’s Liebert PSA is a compact line-interactive UPS that offers cost-effective, full-featured power protection for home office computers and electronic equipment. It provides up to five minutes of back-up time at full load, which is more than enough time to save work in process and shut down the personal computer or system.
