April 21, 2009 – Falcon Electric announced its new Solid-State Voltage Regulator (SVR). The SVR Pro Series represents one of the industry’s first active electronics-based solid-state voltage regulators. In addition to continuously regenerating new, clean AC power, the SVR Pro protects power sensitive equipment against wide spectrum of power-related problems– thereby assuring laboratory equipment uptime at a very affordable cost.
Specifically designed to eliminate costly power disturbances that wreak havoc with sensitive laboratory instrumentation, testing results and process flow, the SVR Pro 1.5kVA, 2.2kVA and 3kVA units deliver pure regulated power in a compact and lightweight 31-pound package. Unique to the SVR Pro is its active electronic design that regenerates ultra-clean, regulated power, assuring the highest level of protection against problematic generator frequency shifts, surges, sags and extended brownouts.
This constant, clean power ensures accurate test samples, maximizes equipment runtime and prevents costly re-testing.Unlike tap switching regulators that typically provide ±5 to 10 percent output regulation, the SVR removes damaging power pollution and assures a pure sinewave output with ± 2 percent voltage regulation. This new technology features a wide input voltage window from 80 to 138Vac. Some types of equipment have an initial high power demand when first turned on, resulting in a need to oversize most passive voltage regulators. The SVR Pro’s robust active design is ideal for powering these difficult loads.
With the units’ optional battery backup feature, the SVR Pro provides minutes to hours of battery backup power. Moreover, the SVR Pro can operate in harsh temperature environments – from 0 degrees to 55 degrees Centigrade.For a high level of control, the SVR Pro incorporates advanced microprocessor technology. The units’ LCD display provides lab managers with instantaneous line, load status and operating parameters.
Availability and Pricing
Available now, the SVR Pro units are UL listed and meet FCC Class B and cUL requirements. List pricing starts at $1,470 for the 1.5kVA model and includes a two-year warranty.
