Hannover, Germany, 15th April 2015: The Hon'ble MoS, Nirmala Sitharaman, Ministry of Commerce & Industry unveiled the Falcon 7000 Online transformer free UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) at the Consul stall at the prestigious Hannover Messe show in Hannover, Germany (Consul is in Hall 13, the designated hall for energy products where leading power electronic companies from the EU, US, China and Turkey are exhibiting). Also present on the occasion were Mr Rajeev Kher - Union Commerce Secretary, Mr Bhaskar Sarkar - Executive Director of EEPC and Mr Anupam Shah Chairman of EEPC. The global launch of the Falcon Online UPS is part of the initiative by Consul Neowatt Power Solutions (CNPS), the largest Indian Power Electronics company, to be a global Indian company that designs and manufactures in India for the world market.

The Falcon 7000 UPS uses a state-of-the-art 32-bit Floating-Point DSP controller which can handle any load variations or input power quality issues at supersonic speeds in an efficient manner to provide clean, reliable and uninterrupted power to all critical applications in datacenters, healthcare and manufacturing. The Falcon 7000 features a scalable architecture that is easily adaptable to changing power requirements. The Falcon 7000 is designed to be field upgradeable by adding additional modules to achieve N+1 redundancy or to provide additional capacity. Consul Neowatt Power Solutions is one of the few power electronic companies globally that today can offer the full range of transformer based and transformer-less UPS.

Speaking on this occasion Mr Shivaji Waghmare, Technical Director & CTO, Consul Neowatt Power Solutions said, "The Falcon7000 UPS range was developed based on our customer feedback for a reliable transformer free UPS for critical applications in India. Our World class R&D team used the same proven state of the art Falcon 5000 platform to develop the Falcon 7000 UPS, but without a transformer. In addition to the operating savings of higher efficiency, the Falcon 7000 transformer-less design results in lower weight and footprint with corresponding space and transportation savings."

The Falcon 7000 UPS comes with front end IGBT rectifier which helps achieve high Input power factor (PF > 0.99) and low current harmonic distortions (THDi< 3%) irrespective of the power factor or harmonics generated by the load. This low THDi and high PF in the input of UPS ensures the UPS will not create unwanted problems due to harmonics and low power factor created by older generation UPS.

The Falcon7000 UPS is designed with serviceability being a focus area to reduce the mean time to repair (MTTR) in the unlikely event of a failure. The construction of the UPS is modular in nature with shared spare parts being used across the family and within a UPS. The UPS requires only front access for service and all modules are on pull-out trays which can slide out for quick diagnostics and replacement. The Human Machine Interface (HMI) is intuitive and user friendly with a LCD screen and LED mimics. A tough TFT touch screen is also available as an optional interface. A wide range of connectivity options are also available.

Consul is the only Indian company to offer a comprehensive range of power electronics products - power backup, power conditioning, energy conservation, solar and custom solutions. This includes mission critical UPS solutions which in India are currently dominated by MNC's and imported products: IORA 3000 range of Active Harmonic Filters, Sunbird range of solar PCU, Hornbill range of static transfer switches and the Pelican range of bi-directional inverters. All products have been developed in-house at Consul's state-of-the-art DSIR approved R&D centre in India and are proven in exacting field conditions as experienced in India.
