Which device is designed to provide power to critical systems during long-term electrical outages?
Power Inverter
Generator
Surge Suppressor
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Generators are designed to provide power during prolonged electrical outages by converting fuel into electrical energy, ensuring that critical systems remain operational as long as fuel is available. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) provide immediate but short-term power through batteries, typically to bridge the gap until a generator starts or to allow for graceful shutdowns. Surge suppressors protect equipment from voltage spikes but do not supply power. Power inverters convert DC power to AC power but require a DC power source and are not intended for extended power supply during outages.
