January 02, 2012 by Jeff Shepard

VMC Systems Ltd., India’s largest Telecom and Power-Conversion equipment manufacturer, plans to introduce High-Wattage DC Power Systems , the first indigenously manufactured systems used for critical back-up applications in the industrial segment, built with SMPS technology. Under an agreement with Australia-based Rectifier Technologies Pacific Pty. Ltd. (RTP), VMC has exclusive rights to manufacture RTP’s products for the SAARC region. The new products at 220 and 110V not only enhance the performance of power supply systems but are also modular and scalable when compared with the currently deployed conventional Thyristor-based dc power supply systems.

These are a new breed of smart and scalable DCPS, catering to the next-generation requirements of Utilities , Telecommunication & Data Centers and also Railways & Metro applications. They are extremely light-weight, and take up considerably less space as compared to conventional DCPS, as these are based on Switch Mode Power Supply technology used to design and build these systems. Also, these are modular in nature and can be managed remotely and can be programmed with other high-end optional features.

Speaking about the agreement Mr. Peter Bennett, Director of Marketing, Rectifier Technologies Pacific Pty. Ltd. said,"RTP is pleased to collaborate with VMC Systems in India and sees a huge potential for these products, considering the present market size here."

Elaborating about this agreement, Mr. Venkataramana, Executive Director, VMC Systems said,"RTP’s products are of a newer technology when compared to the DCPS currently being used in our country. We are happy to partner with Rectifier Technologies Pacific to manufacture these products in India. We believe SMPS based DCPS will become the main-stay choice of our customers in each of our target markets, and have invested heavily towards this goal. With a renewed focus on infrastructure, especially in the coming 12th plan, we believe Indian customers will see value in this product line."
