UPS devices
Uninterruptible Power Supply (back-up power) An Uninterruptible Power Supply device — or UPS — protects computers, modems and fax machines by “cleaning up” and regulating voltage, guarding against surges, spikes, sags and power failures that can cause your equipment to fail.

In the event of a power outage or power surge a UPS automatically provides temporary emergency back-up power from a battery. Think of it as an extra safety cushion against power surges. And if there’s a power outage, it allows time for the automatic network shutdown software to go to work; the software will automatically save your work, close files and shut down your equipment properly – even if you’re not there. No corrupted files or lost data!

Inside outlet surge suppression
Enhance your protection by teaming your meter surge suppressor with outlet surge protection. Enhance your protection by teaming your Meter Surge Suppressor with outlet surge protection. Simply plugged into wall outlets, this type of surge suppression prevents low voltage surges from entering your business through phone, modem, and cable lines, and from damaging your valuable electronic equipment.

Outlet surge suppression also addresses another reality: Not all power problems originate outside your business. In fact, power quality problems can start with electrical motors cycling on-and-off, and over time cause serious damage to today’s sensitive electronics. Most buildings have surge protection of some kind, but today’s surge suppressors incorporate higher levels of protection than ever before.

Since 1998, standards governing the protection capabilities of surge suppression devices have become stricter. The outlet surge suppressors offered by PGE are in compliance with the latest surge protection standards.
