Powerware Prevails

With the introduction of PW 5150, as part of Powerware’s offering of line

interactive models, the company’s entry into the entry-level UPS systems was

complete. Of course, a far cry from the energy solutions that the company is

known for. 

Powerware was founded in 1962 and was known as Exide Electronics at that

time. In 1997, Exide Electronics was acquired by BTR Plc, a British engineering

and consulting conglomerate, which subsequently merged with Siebe Controls to

become a company called Invensys Plc.

Powerware India is a 100 percent subsidiary of the Invensys Energy Management

division of the Invensys group. With manufacturing facilities in Gurgaon and

Chandigarh, the product was designed and built indigenously to meet the severe

power conditions within the country. Powerware also has an online range of

products.

PW 5150: Enhanced battery recharge time to quickly prepare UPS for next power charge
Strengths
	Products come with enhanced battery recharge time
	Electronic voltage controller corrects voltage fluctuations

ROBUST PRODUCT



Targeted at the home and SOHO segment, the product in a short span of time,

has became the company´s flagship offering. Powerware saw a growth of 60

percent in 2001-02 and expects to grow by about 50 to 60 percent in this product

group for the current FY as well.

The PW 5150 comes with a two-year warranty and new electronic voltage

controller (EVC) for incoming voltage corrections.

An aesthetic and contemporary looking product, the PW 5150 is provided with

enhanced battery recharge time to quickly prepare UPS for next power charge.

Another unique feature is its network transient protector that isolates

connected equipment from "back door" surges traveling through network

phone lines.

The product also comes bundled with power management software to ensure data

integrity, which features extensive control and monitoring capabilities.

Powerware’s focus last year went towards the development of a countrywide

network of partners. The company today has partners in 52 locations across the

country. Powerware made major inroads into B and C-class cities and appointed 60

channel partners.
