Argus Technologies Ltd. is now offering what it describes as a revolutionary new Alpha power product, said to be unlike any other currently being deployed within the Telco industry. Named the Alpha Modular Power System 80HP (AMPS80), this high-performance, ac or hybrid ac-dc modular power supply was developed as an ac-dc backup power solution for critical central office, switching stations, cable headend and datacenter applications. It offers Telecom grade reliability, up to 94% power efficiency and high power density through a scalable, modular platform with intelligent system control.

"Our product development teams continue to pioneer cutting-edge technology that delivers reliable backup power for a variety of applications." said Michael Burkhalter, Vice President of US Sales at Argus. "AMPS80 is currently the most unique and innovative solution of its kind in the industry".

The AMPS80 is offered in 3-phase, 2-phase and single-phase configurations to power up to 75kVA loads utilizing 2.5kVA inverter modules. Optional Cordex™ 1.8kW rectifier modules may also be added on the same rack to create a hybrid ac-dc power system.

A smart unified controller with integrated Ethernet/SNMP interface monitors and manages both the inverter and rectifier modules through a web based GUI and local LCD touch screen. The controller also features Email notification via TCP/IP, user definable alarms & data logging, flexible battery management features, and smart peripheral monitoring capabilities.

"AMPS80 offers a highly reliable and energy efficient power system, intelligently designed to reduce total cost of ownership and keep critical systems operating," said Edna Menon, Senior Product Manager for the Alpha Modular Power System.
