POWERVAR Expands Uninterruptible Power Manager Family

POWERVAR, Inc. announced that it has expanded its family of uninterruptible power management (UPM) products with the addition of two new capacity models for North American use – a 2.2 and a 3kVA. The company claims that its UPM is designed to provide the most complete power protection against power outages, surges and noise associated with dirty power.

Just like the other models in the product family, the new models feature a surge diverter, noise filter and low impedance isolation transformer to guarantee fully conditioned power whether operating on the utility supply or on battery. When on battery, the UPM models provide a clean, low distortion sine wave for 8-10 minutes (depending on load). Other features include user hot swappable batteries, casters, leveling feet, full front panel controls and indicators, and both RS232 and USB communications interfaces for use with POWERVAR’s Communications Manager Software suite. Both models meet FCC Class A requirements.

"Installing a UPM means thousands of dollars in savings and greater productivity," says Chris Walsh, Director of Marketing for POWERVAR. "Our customers in retail, healthcare, graphics and other industries have come to rely upon our uninterruptible power management products to save them time, money, and frustration. These additional models allow us to deliver the same benefits to customers whose systems have higher power consumption requirements."

The models just released are for use with standard system applications in North America. Following closely behind will be additional models of the same power rating for international 50/60 Hz use as well as system installations requiring compliance with patient safety standard IEC60601 for healthcare applications.

In voluntary cooperation with NEMA, DOT, and FAA guidelines, POWERVAR manufactures its UPM products with battery disconnect plugs on the rear panel, which when removed, disable the internal battery and eliminate the possibility of short circuit and fire during transport in truck, ship, or aircraft. All models are also in full compliance with WEEE and RoHS directives.
