Re: 1 second UPS

You may be able to find a transfer switch that will detect the power
loss and transfer to an alternate source in a short enough period of
time to keep your computer (or other loads) alive. The impression I
have recieved is that computer power supplies have changed over the
years, lengthening the time period that they withstand a power loss
condition. The reason behind these changes, being to reduce the
complexity and hence cost of the upstream transfer switches.

I would suggest starting your search at the Asco website. I believe
that they make relatively inexepensive devices, though the term
inexpensive may be subjective..
