The Effects of Electrical Overstress Electron microscopy reveals the harmful effects of electrical overstress on delicate computer chips. High-frequency transients often cause degradation of the silicon substrate such as the pitting shown here. Semiconductor chips damaged in this way can run hot, perform unreliably and ultimately fail.

5 Reasons for using a UPS • Disaster recovery, it’s not a matter of “if” but “when”. • Clean utility power at the point of “connection” is your problem. • Short term outages are abundant, over 120 power problems a month • Outages are costly, $2,000 to $50,000 per hour • Surge suppressors will not address brownouts, blackouts, or high voltage conditions • A single outage easily covers the cost of a UPS
