    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

    A hybrid (double conversion on demand) UPS operates as an off-line/standby UPS when power conditions are within a certain preset window. This allows the UPS to achieve very high efficiency ratings. When the power conditions fluctuate outside of the predefined windows, the UPS switches to online/double-conversion operation. [8]

    Aluminium conductors both cost and weigh less than copper conductors, so a much larger cross sectional area can be used for the same weight and price. This can compensate for the higher resistance and lower mechanical strength of aluminium, meaning the larger cross sectional area is needed to achieve comparable current capacity and other features.

    RCDs exist in multiple sub-types, but the most basic form simply consists of a current transformer, in which the line and neutral conductors for the circuit are wound around a toroidal transformer core, and should there be a current leak between line and earth (ground), bypassing neutral, the imbalance in current flow between the line and ...
