Active Power Teams With GE UPS Solutions

Active Power Inc. has established an original-equipment-manufacturer relationship with GE Consumer & Industrial. Active Power now offers its North American customers GE Consumer & Industrial’s Digital Energy™ SG Series and LP33 Series uninterruptible power supplies, ranging in power from 10-500kVA.

With the addition of a double-conversion UPS to its solution portfolio, Active Power complements its DC product line, which includes the flywheel-based CleanSource® DC and its newest solution, the battery-free CoolAir™ DC that delivers extended run times and represents a true minute-for-minute replacement of batteries.

"By adding GE’s double-conversion UPS products to our current product line, we now have the broadest three-phase UPS and DC energy storage line in the world,” says Joe Pinkerton, CEO and chairman of Active Power. “We are now uniquely positioned to provide our customers with both mainstream and highly differentiated UPS solutions.”

“Our GE team is thrilled to help Active Power help its customers,” says Stephan Smith, general manager, Power Quality, GE Consumer & Industrial. “Downtime isn’t an option for healthcare facilities, financial institutions or any organization processing or maintaining immeasurable amounts of information every day. We’re acutely aware of what’s at stake and we’re committed to delivering GE-quality products that offer new levels of flexibility and proven 24-7 reliability.”
