its been an interesting discussion. Thanks all for contributing. One question remains in my mind though what is the allowable time power maybe interrupted to a CPU ? 1 NS (nanosecond) ? or 0 NS? or ? As I said in my original piece I am not familiar with UPS's and could some one come up with a current answer? If the answer is it depends that would be nice to know that, as well. Thanks.

I can be wrong here, but I believe it is matter of voltage cycles, more precisely rather half of the cycle. I mean cycle of "sinus-voltage" (I don't know the term in English). It is about 10ms for Europe (50Hz) and 8,(3) for US (60Hz).
Caution: YMMV. The time of outage *strongly depends* on several factors:
- power supply type. When big capacitors are used, then the time tneds to be longer. The same for large trasformers. but those in use are so large. - the type of "interruption". It can be "plain" blackout, or surge, pike, etc.
- current power compsumption. Oversized PS should tend to "work" longer.
- sensibility of the device. Some devices fail to work in case of small voltage drop, others are not so sensible.
