Powerware intros extended battery back-up models

NEW DELHI -- Powerware India recently introduced the latest offering in its Series 5 of uninterruptible power systems (UPSs), the cost-effective PW 5150 Eb (extended battery backup). The extended battery models have the provision to offer up to two hours of backup.

Designed to protect small workstations and SME equipment, including PCs, Web servers and electrical equipment, the Powerware 5150 protects and eliminates the effects of the top five most common power disturbances found in many work environments. It is available in three power ratings ranging from 500VA, 700VA to 1KVA.

The cost-effective Powerware 5150 features fourth-generation line interactive topology, which ensures continuous, clean power. Its advanced electronic voltage controller (EVC) corrects the input voltage fluctuations. A wide input voltage range caters to extreme power conditions. It comes with convenient user replaceable batteries to avoid visiting service centres for replacing those. The network transient protector protects the equipment from "back door" transients. It comes with a high-rated charger with a battery module that extends the battery time upto two hours.

The extended battery backup models are available all over India through Powerware's regional distributors and channel partners. Powerware is offering a two-year warranty on the UPS and a one-year warranty on batteries. A comprehensive after-sales support network further supports it all over India, besides a Web-based service support module.

Deepak Sharma, managing director, Powerware India, said: "These new models of UPS have been designed in response to the interminably long power outages experienced in large parts of the country. The prevailing power conditions necessitate the introduction of extended backup UPS. We foresee the SME segment to benefit most from these products. Extended battery backup models, if deployed, would increase overall productivity and customer satisfaction.
