      PDI & RGPC introduce PowerBridge Power Supply

     Richard Gray’s Power Company is introducing the RGPC PowerBridge at Booth 1301. The PowerBridge is the only uninterruptible power supply (UPS) on the market that responds within one-milisecond of a power failure to provide a sine wave output with the benefits of RGPC patented parallel, non-current limiting, and dual stage surge protection technology.

     Unique to the PowerBridge is IntelliGray technology – the ability to actually “learn” the AC line and store that data in memory to use as a reference for determining if and when to switch to battery power. The PowerBridge samples several hundred points of each and every cycle of the AC wave form in order to detect any abnormal power fluctuations and switch to battery power seventeen times faster than any other UPS currently available.

     One of the most common problems inherent in traditional UPS designs is one of limited available current. The battery backup inside most UPS products is employed 100-percent of the time, when it is only needed, on average, two-percent of the time. RGPC applied their same parallel technology found in their other products to the PowerBridge so that no electronic components are in the AC path rendering the UPS “invisible” to the components connected to it and also imparting no adverse sonic “signature” of its own. While in “stand-by” mode (waiting for a power outage) the PowerBridge functions exactly as an RGPC 600S providing clean, unrestricted parallel power via its six Hubbell outlets. Performance is also enhanced by a sine wave output that is synchronous with the AC line when switching to and from battery power – all attached equipment will see no interruption in the sine wave during these cycles – another first for any UPS
