220-801 Question #7: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is D: Uninterruptible power supply. A brownout is a reduction (sag) in supply voltage, not a complete outage. A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) with voltage regulation actively conditions the incoming power, compensating for voltage drops to deliver stable output voltage to connected equipment. It also provides

Question

Which of the following provides the BEST protection from brown outs?

Options

  • ASurge suppressor
  • BComputer power supply with built in surge protections
  • CMotherboard with built-in surge protection
  • DUninterruptible power supply

Explanation

A brownout is a reduction (sag) in supply voltage, not a complete outage. A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) with voltage regulation actively conditions the incoming power, compensating for voltage drops to deliver stable output voltage to connected equipment. It also provides battery backup during full outages. A surge suppressor only protects against voltage spikes (over-voltage events) - it offers no protection against brownouts. Built-in surge protection on a PSU or motherboard similarly only addresses surges, not sags.
