Power Supplies
Designer computer viruses grab the headlines, But did you know that you are 15 times more likely to suffer data loss due to power problems? ACRO Electric has teamed up with Liebert who is the leading manufacturer of products that condition power and keep it flowing.
Power is not the only thing that needs to be clean and conditioned. The computer's environment, whether it's a PC on the factory floor or a mainframe in a glass house, is crucial to its performance. Our environmental equipment keeps your computing and telecommunications networks running clean and smooth. Expanding our ability to provide this level of comprehensive protection for network computing systems is the driving force behind the introduction of the foundation integration/enclosure system.
These days, it is not an understatement to say that data is life to your company or your home. Our job is protecting the network that assembles, manipulates and disseminates it.
Surge Suppression
Surge suppressors are designed to protect sensitive equipment form one type of power disturbance: sudden power spikes that can fry microprocessor circuitry. While all surge suppressors stop the big jolts, better suppressors clamp down on the subtle jumps that still corrupt data or damage equipment. Surge suppressors provide cost-effective protection for stand-alone printers, modems, and other non-critical equipment.
Off-Line UPS
Off-line UPS (also called standby UPS) is a cost-effected choice where network communication is not generally necessary. Better off-line UPSs switch to battery fast enough to prevent glitches and ride out short power outages. They prevent most spikes, but do not maintain perfect power during minor sags and surges. The key to off-line UPS quality is the range of power the UPS will accept before switching to battery back-up. The wider the range, the less drain on the battery and the more back-up time available when the power shuts off. An improved form of off-line UPS uses "buck and boost" circuitry to balance power during sags and surges, reducing dependence on battery power.
Line Interactive UPS
Line-interactive UPS provides both power conditioning and battery back-up. This technology is particularly effective where outages are rare, but power fluctuations are common. Line-interactive UPS supports a wide range of input voltage fluctuations before switching to battery-backup. This technology is also more energy-efficient than other technologies.
On-Line UPS
On-Line UPS technology provides the highest levels of protection for networks. Because power runs through an on-line UPS continually, output is a perfect sinewave. This UPS protects the critical load from virtually all power disturbances, including subtle harmonics and waveform distortion. Networks with generator backup must have on-line UPS because only on-line technology can protect from frequency variations common at generator start-up. Network communications is often necessary to effectively manage network power protection.
