Sistema de Energía Ininterrumpida


Explanation:
Alternativa:
Fuente de Energía Ininterrumpida
Comentarios:
1. Si bien "Fuente" es más exacto como traducción de "Supply", se usa mucho "Sistema", y queda bien.
2. Una sutileza: el término inglés "uninterruptible" no es del todo correcto, porque uno puede "interrumpir" la energía...accionando el interruptor ON/OFF de la UPS.
Lo correcto es traducir esto, no como "ininterrumpible" sino como "ininterrumpida", porque permite alimentar un consumo desde una batería, por un tiempo determinado, aunque se corte el suministro de electricidad.
Espero que esto te resulte útil.

Ref.: varios años desayunando, almorzando y cenando UPS's ...estaban muy ricas... :-)
