Do UPS Systems Provide Overvoltage Protection?

Even though UPS systems are used to regulate the changes occurring in circuits, they do not include any protection against instantaneous overvoltage. Indeed, there is only a tiny low conductive filter in UPS products, and this filter provides protection against radio-frequency interference only. Many companies consider uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) as overvoltage protection systems. However, UPS systems do not provide protection against instantaneous overvoltages that lead to damage.
