Why Costa Rica Needs Reliable UPS Systems

With frequent voltage fluctuations and tropical storms affecting power stability, Costa Rica demands robust UPS systems. Over 72% of businesses here experience ≥3 power interruptions monthly (Costa Rican Electricity Institute 2023 report). A quality UPS becomes essential for:

• Protecting sensitive electronics from sudden surges
• Maintaining operations during blackouts
• Preventing data loss in critical systems
