If the current requirement is less, the time period increases proportionately.
The buffer has a decoupled input so that only the loads that need to be supported draw power from the module, therefore the time that the power supply can be supported will be maximised.
In addition the decoupled input protects the connected loads from faults in the internal network.
The module can also be used as an energy store to supply peak loads or to trigger fuses.
