2.1 Description 

 
More than ever before, today's advanced electronic equipment, with complex integrated circuits and other 
sensitive electronics, needs a stable and continuous AC power supply to operate correctly. While the power 
coming from the wall outlet is often unreliable, a 

GE Digital Energy™ LP UPS

 provides the security of 

completely uninterrupted power. 
 
A compact, truly on-line system, the LP UPS protects your equipment from all forms of power interference, 
including complete power failure. A simple and elegant circuit design, together with extensive protection against 
abnormal operating conditions (e.g. overload, short circuit, overheating), makes the LP UPS exceptionally 
reliable.
