Скачать или смотреть What's the Difference Between UPS and Inverter? UPS vs Inverter

With our ever increasing reliance on electricity, it is quite annoying when outages in our power supply occur. To prevent getting interrupted in whatever we are doing, we have devices like inverters and the UPS. The main difference between the two is what their functions are. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply and its main function is as a flywheel storage system that is able to provide power to a device when the power from the main lines goes out. In contrast, an inverter’s function is basically to convert DC power to AC. You get DC from power sources like batteries while AC is what we get from our wall sockets. The two are not compatible so we need to convert one to the other if supply is different from what the device needs.
