Invensys Intros PowerHandler Plus Module

November 12, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Invensys Powerware Division (Raleigh, NC) announced the PowerHandler Plus, the latest in its family of three-phase power-management solutions. The PowerHandler Plus is a switchboard system bypass module for 3,200A to 4,000A applications. The PowerHandler Plus works with paralleled Powerware 9315 uninterruptible power systems.

The PowerHandler Plus enables paralleled UPS systems to be serviced without taking the critical load off of protected power. The PowerHandler Plus features draw-out breakers, a small footprint and a fully-rated static switch for inherent product reliability, eliminating the need to outsource switchboard components.

"The PowerHandler Plus serves a critical purpose in overall system availability because the protected system is never at risk during maintenance," said Darrick Finan, director of product management, Powerware. "Any company requiring system availability 24/7 will opt for redundant power systems. With the PowerHandler Plus, you maximize the effectiveness and ensure complete end-to-end reliability of those paralleled solutions."

The new PowerHandler Plus will be available late 2001 at a starting price of $140,000.
