New Products and Features

THIS IS GREAT! Now I can get 400 Hz output!TacticalPower line of deployable Inverters, Converters and UPS

ETI now offers the most complete line of deployable power conditioning equipment for use in the field by today's First Responders as well as personell in remote locations around the world. Developed for rapid deployment, the TacticalPower product line includes DC to AC inverters, DC-DC converters, AC-AC electronics power conditioners, frequency converters, UPS plus portable JP-8/JP-5 fueled generator systems. Most of these units are integrated into self contained transit cases providing protection for the equipments as well as quick setup in as little as two minutes operating from local ac sources as well as the dc from military or emergency vehicles. More details can be found at the website for TacticalPower.

THIS IS GREAT! Now I can get 400 Hz output!ExtremeUPS line of UPS and Power Conditioners for High and Low Temperature Environments

These temperature hardened products are in service around the country in unconditioned hostile environments. Most commercial UPS and Power Conditioning products are designed for controlled environments as found in computer rooms. The best of these have operating ratings of 0ºC to +40ºC (32ºF to +104ºF). However, in uncontrolled environments such as outdoor applications, those competing units typically fail due to temperature. Utilizing our certified environmental test chamber, ETI has designed and qualified the ExtremeUPS line  to operating temperatures of -40ºC to +65ºC (-40ºF to +149ºF). 

WOW! You mean I can have 3 phase input and 1 phase output!Power Conditioner/PDU/UPS Series for FAA with Intelligent SNMP and Manual Controls

The ETI0001-1473 is specifically designed for FAA rack systems providing high reliability, direct replacement for previous 120 VAC power conditioning and power distribution equipment. The ETI0001-1473 does not require a separate PDU since the PDU functions are already integrated into the power conditioning module. This saves rack space, cabling and expense while improving overall reliability. The unit also has redundant/conditioned DC outputs. The ETI0001-1473 can be easily upgraded to a UPS with the addition of its companion battery module. The  ETI0001-1473A also provides backward compatibility for the 208 VAC version. The  ETI0001-1473B version also provides backward compatibility for the 208 VAC version, but without needing the separate transformer module of the older equipment.

All ETI Products have been Y2K Compliant for 6 years.Not the Least Expensive, But the Lowest Total Ownership Cost (TOC)

In making product evaluations today, the wise decision makers base their conclusions using Total Ownership Cost or TOC. Considering all factors, ETI’s products have the lowest TOC due to their overall performance and reliability. Besides the initial product cost, areas to consider are Installation, Training, Maintenance, Spares and Uptime. Products such as the ETI0001-N5 series integrate features that reduce the overall space and installation costs. Defense services and support contractors are already experienced with ETI’s design and the products operation. Manpower is a very significant factor in TOC. Very high reliability means minimal maintenance, which results in minimal manpower requirements. Once the ETI units are installed, they require very little or no preventative maintenance to keep them operational over the years. Very high reliability means a negligible spare parts requirement. If spares are desired, one set per site would be more than adequate for years of operation. Very high reliability means maximum operational uptime. Since failures usually interrupt operations at the most crucial times and since UPS or PDU reliability impacts multiple downstream loads, minimizing failures or downtime is imperative. ETI has field proven very high reliability and uptime. The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) exceeds 250,000 hours and the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) is less than one half hour on most of ETI's products!

ETI's Products are Rugged from the Start, Not a Consumer Product Ruggedized.Rugged, Not Ruggedized
Not all COTS Products are Created Equal

Most products sold in the rugged market start out as desktop or consumer products (Commercial Off The Shelf otherwise known as COTS). These vendors will attempt to "ruggedize" their product to compete in the rugged market. These ruggedized COTS products usually fail due to either temperature, mechanical shock or vibration requirements since they were not designed to withstand these extremes!

ETI's products start out rugged whether for COTS or full MilSpec applications. They are designed to and meet Military Environmental Standards. ETI's products have successfully passed these tests numerous times including Mil STDs 167, 810, 901 plus surviving the vehicle mounted endurance tests in the notorious Belgium Block and the explosive charges in the Barge tests.

ETI's GSA Schedule Simplifies Procurement.GSA Schedule For Most Products Plus VISA/MasterCard/Discover Card

Energy Technologies has been awarded GSA Schedule Contract GS-07F-9485G valid through February, 2007. For more details, refer to the GSA Page on this site. To further simplify procurement, ETI is now set up to accept Government IMPAC Cards, VISA, MasterCard and Discover Card.
