Acumentrics Introduces Customizable DC Output UPS Systems
Acumentrics Corp. has developed and introduced a Rugged Uninterruptible Power Supply (Rugged-UPS™) system able to provide simultaneous dc and ac outputs customized to meet the power needs of specific systems.
"This new flexibility reduces capital costs by enabling system engineers to match the power backup system’s capacity and dc-ac output to specific configuration needs," said Acumentrics’ VP of Operations, Ersson Zapata.
The ability to provide simultaneous ac and dc input/output enables the Acumentrics’ Rugged UPS 2500 product line – configured with dc outputs of 250, 600, 1000, or 2000W – to serve multiple pieces of equipment and avoid the need for additional converters and power supplies.
"Our client base is recognizing the improved efficiency of using dc power for electronic equipment for a wide variety of industrial and military purposes, including transportation, communications, process, manufacturing and other applications," said Bob Tomasetti, VP of Key Accounts. "Because most electronic equipment converts ac input internally to dc power, providing dc power directly to the equipment eliminates the need for additional conversion and the associated energy losses. Additionally, as power requirements are often one of the last-defined elements of a program, our ability to quickly configure 2000W output between ac and dc requirements has been a huge advantage for our clients."
Gary Simon, President and CEO added, "This is another example of our flexibility and responsiveness to client needs. Acumentrics will continue to quickly meet changing client needs to maintain our position as the leading supplier of Rugged UPS units."
