INVENSYS INTRODUCES THE POWERHANDLER PLUS SWITCHBOARD SYSTEM BYPASS MODULE



RALEIGH, N.C. (November 12, 2001) - Invensys Powerware Division
announced today the PowerHandler Plus, the latest in its family of Three-phase power management solutions. The PowerHandler Plus is a switchboard system bypass module (SSBM) for 3200-4000 amp applications. The PowerHandler Plus works with paralleled Powerware 9315 uninterruptible power systems (UPS) to provide a significant increase in reliability.

The PowerHandler Plus enables paralleled UPS systems to be serviced without taking the critical load off of protected power. Easy to operate, the PowerHandler Plus features draw-out breakers, a smaller footprint than competitive switchboards and a fully-rated static switch for inherent product reliability. This new product eliminates the need to outsource switchboard components and extends the integrity of the Powerware brand throughout the entire system.

"The PowerHandler Plus serves a critical purpose in overall system availability because the protected system is never at risk during maintenance," said Darrick Finan, director of product management, Powerware. "Any company requiring system availability 24x7 will opt for redundant power systems. With the PowerHandler Plus, you maximize the effectiveness and ensure complete end-to-end reliability of those paralleled solutions."

The new PowerHandler Plus will be available late 2001 at a starting price of $140,000. For more information on PowerHandler Plus or the full line of power solutions available today, visit our Web site at powerware.comn.
