After all, UPS is just brownout protection, right?
Having just moved to a new building with a backup generator that kicked in less than 20 seconds after the initial power outage i'm pleased to say thats exactly how my UPS's functioned this time. The change back to grid power was even quicker - so much so that one of my UPS's didn't even register the fact that anything had changed :D Aside from keeping the servers running, it indiscriminately powered every outlet in the entire building so the fridge stayed on and therefore the beer stayed cold!
