Rigorous manufacturing and testing protocols ensure same proven reliability as U.S.-made capacitors
New Bedford, MA - Aerovox Corp. announces that it is now manufacturing its UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) capacitors at its facility in Ningbo, China. Production in China will supplement U.S. manufacturing at the company's headquarters in New Bedford, Massachusetts, facilitating quick turn-around to meet worldwide customer demand.
Manufacturing this product line in both regions allows for high-quality and cost competitive capacitors. Designed at Aerovox's U.S headquarters, these China-made capacitors follow the same configuration guidelines and manufacturing processes to ensure the same reliability and efficiency as U.S. made.
UPS capacitors are used in UPS systems that provide critical backup to data centers, high-density power zones, certain industrial processes, and various other applications where continuous operation is essential.
Aerovox has developed a unique testing protocol to ensure capacitor reliability for UPS systems. After a standard final electrical test, a high voltage five-minute burn-in/aging test is performed, followed by five high current discharge pulses. This testing protocol, in place at both manufacturing facilities, effectively eliminates the potential of early life capacitor failures.
"We use the same rigorous manufacturing and testing processes for our UPS capacitors, whether they are produced in the U.S. or China," said Jim Faughnan, Aerovox President CEO. "Production of these capacitors at our China facility allows us to offer the most competitive pricing on the market without sacrificing quality."
To further facilitate product availability for preventative maintenance programs or emergency repairs, Aerovox has named Marsh Electronics as stocking distributor. Marsh stocks the most commonly used types of UPS capacitors, allowing for overnight delivery within the continental United States.
