Socomec

French industrial group Socomec has launched a new line of UPS systems for server rooms, the service sector, healthcare, light industrial applications and infrastructure.

Ranging from 10-20 kVA, the ITYS Pro line comes in three different configurations: without batteries (Type S), with batteries (Type T), and with batteries or isolation transformer (Type M).

While Socomec has not said anything about the battery type in these systems, the company’s previous ITYS UPS systems (1-10 kVA) are equipped with maintenance free, sealed lead-acid batteries.

The range also comes with a battery cabinet offering flexible backup-times without increasing the footprint.

Up to four units can be configurated in parallel using Ethernet cables to enable power scalability or N+1 redundancy.

International industrial group Socomec has appointed a new regional general manager for Southern Europe.

Italian Giancarlo Battini has been hired to oversee four business areas: Critical Power, Power Control & Safety, Energy Efficiency and Solar Power.

Battini most recently held the position of VP for commercial UPS solutions at AEG Power Solutions, and has previoulsy been managing director for Emerson Power Network Italy and president of Italy’s National Association of "Uninterruptible Power Supply Manufacturers."
