Asia Powercom, a joint venture with Powercom Co, TaiÂwan, have launched
VGD-1000 and pitched the same on Total cost of Ownership (TCO) concept. When comÂpared
to a competitive product from a local manuÂfacturer, the VGD-1000 beÂcomes
free within a year compared to any local UPS on account of a better input power
factor that draws lesser current, resulting in economic consumption. With this
the company is also set to target the enterÂprise segment with the launch of
Vanguard Series in the online UPS segment.
Talking about the new product Tejas Seth, DirecÂtor, Asia Powercom, said,
“We have been quite strong with the SME segment, and this helps us to make
inroads into enterprises with about 200 terminals and more. With a TCO proÂposition
we are confident of gaining customers. Our objective is to focus on the value
for money proposiÂtion and come out with a win-win proposition for the channel
and the customers.”
| How does the Vanguard UPS become free in one year? Input power factor of VGD UPS systems = 0.98 So, current drawn from mains in 1KVA VGD1000 1000/230x0.98 = 4.44 amp Traditional local UPS having 0.7 PF the current drawn = 1000/230x0.7 = 6.21 amp So, more current drawn by local UPS = 6.21-4.44 = 1.77 amp So, excess consumption in a year = 1.77x230x8760/1000 KWH = 3,566 unit So, saving = 3,566x4 (taking Rs 4 per unit) = Rs 14,264.00 That means you recover the cost of UPS within one year. This saving is double for VGD2000 and so on. |
The company recently showcased its range of products that demonstrated
capabilities of providing quality power solutions for the Indian masses. In the
online UPS segment, the comÂpany showcased a range of models starting from 1KVA
upto 10KVA and plans to introduce more models in the 15-30 KVA range shortly.
Powercom Vanguard series is designed to handle an array of problems like
power failures, power sags, power surges, under-voltage electrical line noise,
over voltage, frequency variaÂtion, switching transient, harmonic distortion.
These are ideal for workgroup server, departmental server, enterprise server,
WEB serÂver, and workstation.
Even when presented with the most severe of these power problems, the
Powercom Vanguard series output remains within a ±2 percent of nominal voltage.
It means that the critical system always receives steady and clean power. In
addition, the Powercom Vanguard series transfers to backup mode with no break in
power, making it the perfect UPS for equipment in environment plagued by poor
power.
