UPQ stands for Uninterruptible Power Quality. In 1997, Power Innovations was established to develop a higher standard of power quality and protection for applications that demand and depend on the highest level of power quality, regardless of power or environmental conditions.

UPS is an industry acronym for Uninterruptible Power Supply. Over the years it has become a term for backup power supplies regardless of topology. However, there are normally three different categories for UPS systems, starting from least quality and function to the most. They are Standby, Line-interactive, and Online.
