Vectek創(chuàng)新技術(shù)幫助改善電力質(zhì)量。 瑞士蘇黎士2008年5月5日消息，領(lǐng)先的電力自動(dòng)化技術(shù)集團(tuán)ABB，已經(jīng)收購(gòu)了新西蘭Vectek 電子公司。Vectek公司的創(chuàng)新技術(shù)能夠改善電源在工業(yè)安裝領(lǐng)域上的質(zhì)量，可幫助降低停工期提高產(chǎn)量。 Vectek公司在納皮爾城中設(shè)有研發(fā)中心，擁有員工73名，收購(gòu)之后，都將成為ABB自動(dòng)化產(chǎn)品部門的一部分。 ABB自動(dòng)化產(chǎn)品部門領(lǐng)導(dǎo)Tom Sjoekvist說(shuō)：“Vectek的加入是我們理想的技術(shù)組合，幫助用戶提高電力可靠性，生產(chǎn)力和能源有效性。ABB全球性業(yè)務(wù)將會(huì)使各個(gè)大陸的用戶受益于些技術(shù)組合。” 現(xiàn)代化電氣網(wǎng)絡(luò)盡管停電也會(huì)非常安全，電力質(zhì)量上的變動(dòng)能導(dǎo)致昂貴的生產(chǎn)停產(chǎn)，造成產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量的變動(dòng)。Vectek的高功率電子轉(zhuǎn)換器利用AVC技術(shù)減輕電壓峰值和谷值，創(chuàng)造更平穩(wěn)連續(xù)的電力供應(yīng)。 產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)用于工業(yè)、商業(yè)和海運(yùn)領(lǐng)域，并且已經(jīng)在美國(guó)和一些亞洲市場(chǎng)成功推出。ABB的新品將由Vectek以前的首席執(zhí)行官John Penny進(jìn)行管理。 ABB是電力自動(dòng)化技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)廠商，致力于為工業(yè)和電力行業(yè)客戶提供解決方案，以幫助客戶提高生產(chǎn)效率，同時(shí)降低對(duì)環(huán)境的不良影響。ABB集團(tuán)的業(yè)務(wù)遍布全球100多個(gè)國(guó)家，擁有大約110,000名雇員。 [FONT=times] original text [/FONT] [font=times][Color=#708090]Vectek’s innovative technology helps improve power quality for industry Zurich, Switzerland, May 5, 2008 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has acquired the business of Vectek Electronics, a New Zealand company with innovative technology that improves the quality of the power supply in industrial installations, which helps to reduce downtime and increase productivity. The business has 73 employees as well as a research and development center in the town of Napier, and will operate as part of ABB’s Automation Products division. Terms of the transaction are not being disclosed. “Vectek is an ideal addition to our portfolio of technologies that help customers increase power reliability, productivity and energy efficiency,” said Tom Sjoekvist, head of the Automation Products division. “ABB’s global scope will enable customers on every continent to benefit from this new technology.” Modern electricity networks, while very secure from blackouts, suffer from variations in power quality that can result in very costly production shutdowns and variations in the quality of goods produced in industrial plants. Vectek’s high-power electronic converters use Active Voltage Conditioning （AVC） technology to mitigate the effect of voltage surges and sags, creating a more stable and continuous supply. The product is designed for industrial, commercial and marine applications, and has already been successfully introduced in the U.S. and in a number of Asian markets. ABB’s new product unit will be managed by John Penny, formerly chief executive of Vectek. ABB （www.abb.com） is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs more than 110,000 people. [/color][/font]
