Best Power FERRUPS "plug-and-play" UPS models deliver even more convenience and value in "bulletproof" power protection.NECEDAH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 1996--Combining "bulletproof Refers to extremely stable hardware and/or software that cannot be brought down no matter what unusual conditions arise. See industrial strength. bulletproof - Used of an algorithm or implementation considered extremely robust; lossage-resistant; capable of correctly " reliability with standard configurations, the new "plug-and-play" versions of Best Power's FERRUPS(R) uninterruptible power system Uninterruptible power system A system that provides protection against commercial power failure and variations in voltage and frequency. Uninterruptible power systems (UPS) have a wide variety of applications where unpredictable changes in commercial power (UPS) offer even greater power protection value. The "plug-and-play" units are designed for communications systems and larger computer applications from 4.3KVA (Kilo Volt-Amps) One thousand volt-amps. See volt-amps. to 18KVA. Select rackmount sizes also are available. The new systems are ideal for industrial and harsh power environment conditions. FERRUPS "plug-and-play" systems come complete with an input power cord (where appropriate) and output receptacle. "This gives users a savings of up to 8 percent over custom-configured FERRUPS models," says Brian Crowe, Best Power vice president, sales. "And with the new 'plug-and-play' configurations in stock, Best Power will be able to provide even faster delivery of customer orders." At the heart of FERRUPS is a ferroresonant transformer that has proven to be the most reliable and durable design in power protection. This patented technology provides unsurpassed power conditioning, including protection against sags, brownouts, surges, spikes and lightning strikes
FERRUPS' extended brownout A lowering of AC power voltage for some period of time. Brownouts can be very harmful to electronic equipment if sustained for long periods. Brownouts can cause flickering or a dimming on screen, and the computer may experience intermittent problems as a result. See blackout. range conserves battery power by correcting sags as low as 38 percent below normal without drawing on the battery, extending battery life. Active Voltage Regulation Voltage regulation The change in voltage magnitude that occurs when the load (at a specified power factor) is reduced from the rated or nominal value to zero, with no intentional manual readjustment of any voltage control, expressed in percent of nominal enables power from any AC source to be converted into computer-grade power. FERRUPS effectively isolates electrical "noise" from nearby machinery or office equipment that could adversely affect sensitive electronic equipment, and also isolates harmonic distortion In communications, unwanted frequencies that are generated as multiples of the original frequency due to irregularities in the transmission line. In audio amplifiers, harmonic distortion comes from non-uniform operation (non-linearity) in the amplifier circuits. See harmonic. coming from the protected device which could reflect back to premises wiring and weaken the effectiveness of other equipment. Best Power, a unit of General Signal, is based in Necedah, Wisconsin, and is a leading manufacturer of uninterruptible power systems which protect computers, information networks and other critical systems from power-line disturbances.
