iMac shuts off and reboots when there is a power surge

Hi! I have a iMac OS X (10.6) still on snow leopard. It is plugged into an APC Battery Back Up (1200 XS). When there is a power surge, instead of continuing to function, as my PC did, it immediately shuts down and reboots and I lose whatever I've been working on since the last backup.

Can anyone help?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6)

😊Problem solved. The computer was plugged into the surge protector outlet instead of the battery backup outlet.
