It could be the time it take to switch between line power and

problem with this because there isn't the abrupt changeover.

this is incorrect. ups = uninterruptible power supply.

dc to ac conversion is done with mains floating battery and ac conversion
circuit draws power form battery. this is what maintains continuous ac
output with out interruption.


It is supposed to be uninterpretable, but in practice, low end UPSs, especially the ones sold for home or home offices, have a changeover time when AC fails. It is only a cycle of so, but it is there. They are not designed to be providing continuous AC. These units should properly be called a battery backup, and not a UPS, but you know how marketing is.

I have worked with true UPSs, but most of those were 480 volt, 3 phase, with a room full of batteries...
