What type of delay does an SPS incur during power switch over?

  1. Minute-long delay

  2. No delay

  3. Several minutes delay

  4. Split-second delay

The correct answer is: Split-second delay

An SPS (Static Power Supply) experiences a split-second delay during a power switch over. This means that there is a very brief interruption of power during the switch over process. Option A is incorrect because a minute-long delay would result in a significant gap in power supply, which can be damaging to devices. Option B is also incorrect because while an SPS is designed to minimize interruptions during power switch over, there is still a brief delay. Option C is also incorrect because several minutes delay would result in a longer interruption than a split-second delay.
