不间断电源（或称UPS，即 Uninterruptible Power Supply）是在电网异常（如停电、欠压、干扰或浪涌「也称：涌浪电流」）的情况下不间断的为电器负载设备提供后备交流电源，维持电器正常运作的设备。通常情况下不间断电源被用于维持计算机（尤其是服务器）或交换机等关键性商用设备或精密仪器的不间断运行，防止计算机数据丢失，电话通信网络中断或仪器失去控制。

An uninterruptible power supply, also uninterruptible power source, UPS or battery/flywheel backup, is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source, typically mains power, fails. A UPS differs from an auxiliary or emergency power system or standby generator in that it will provide near-instantaneous protection from input power interruptions, by supplying energy stored in batteries, supercapacitors, or flywheels. The on-battery runtime of most uninterruptible power sources is relatively short (only a few minutes) but sufficient to start a standby power source or properly shut down the protected equipment.
