Power Protection FEATURED ARTICLE

One Web search of the term “power outage” will yield several results spanning coast to coast. Power outages do not favor; they can strike any grid at any time, interrupting a lot more than basic living and business processes.

In addition to regular system backups, companies should seek uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices to provide emergency power when power fails. The most obvious advantage of an uninterruptible power supply is, of course, the maintenance of power.

Para Systems (News - Alert), Inc. recently launched its EnTerra Series 3-phase Battery Backup Systems, which fall in the category of UPS specifically designed to protect equipment in the IT/networking, industrial, medical, and enterprise security sectors, no matter the source of the power problem.

According to a recent company blog post, this line is available with base units ranging from 10kVA-40kVA, with parallel capability up to 160kVA.

“EnTerra will allow us to build on our past partnerships in the 3-phase arena and reach the market more competitively than ever before,” stated Bill Allen, Director of Marketing for Minuteman in a press statement. “With Minuteman value, 3-phase efficiency, and our extensive channel network, EnTerra’s versatility and expandability are ideal for today’s business environment.”

The series-3 phase UPS uses double conversion technology and Adaptive Feed Cancellation (AFC) to effectively protect large electrical loads. What’s more, this newer, more efficient system means users can ditch energy-hogging legacy systems and save on their electrical consumption.

“The EnTerra line allows Minuteman to better offer complete solutions to our customers; from 400VA to 160kVA, with Minuteman value and reliability the whole way,” said Allen.

This launch is timely for companies looking for added protection, as we are in the midst of hurricane season. According to the National Hurricane Center, hurricane season goes from June 1st all the way until November 30th. We are just getting into the thick of it, and hurricane season is just beginning to unravel its long and potentially destructive rope. Businesses all over should be considering their power options and coming up with disaster preparedness plans.

Minuteman Power Technologies, a provider of unique and robust power protection solutions, offers an array of products geared toward the educational sector, from outlet surge protectors to UPSs.
