Orlando, FL— To improve power quality in factory automation and commercial equipment, Sola/Hevi-Duty introduced its Solartron Plus three-phase power conditioner at Rockwell Automation’s AB Automation Fair 2004 , Oct. 27-28, at the Orange County Convention Center. Solartron Plus reportedly protects against common power quality problems by providing true voltage regulation, surge protection, and noise isolation, even through inductive and poor power factor loads.

“Most three-phase critical industrial equipment has to settle for commercial grade products that include fans or susceptible, unprotected electronics,” says Suzette Albert, Sola/Hevi-Duty’s product manager. “Solartron Plus combines enhanced voltage regulation technology with the ruggedness of Sola/Hevi-Duty’s Shielded Isolation transformers and encapsulated, all-mode surge suppression to ensure clean, virtually maintenance-free power.”

Within an input voltage range of -25% to +15%, Solartron Plus reportedly produces an output voltage of less than +/-5% of nominal voltage regulation to maintain as stable, smooth power for critical processes and production. Common voltage configurations available from stock are 20, 30, 50 and 75 KVA in combinations of 208, 480 and 600 V.
