Purchasing inverters for offices may appear a simple task, but when you go shopping, you come across a large number of choices. It is advisable to do a comparative survey before making the purchasing decision. Also, understand your power requirements

Businesses dependent on machines and automation are hit by acute power shortages. Industries, out of urgency, fall back on an assured supply of electricity to function unhindered. Moreover, with ever increasing gap in demand and supply of power, need for power conditioning has become a dire need for all businesses, irrespective of verticals. UPS system is the heart of any process industry and any down time is intolerable as it leads to huge productivity loss in terms of material wastage and manpower hours.

Generator compatible inverters are the latest products in the market. Most innovations that have happened in the office inverter domain are focused on increasing efficiency and stability. This helps in saving power as well as the environment. There have also been innovations that enable inverters to charge quickly and lengthen the life of the battery. Steps are also being taken to go for higher MTBF, which saves man hours

Servo stabiliser is an unorganised sector. Buyers should, therefore, be very careful while making a purchase decision. The credibility of the company should be looked into, and it is also essential to have some knowledge about the product

UPS and inverters play a crucial role in the power backup market, having application areas in almost all segments. In an effort to appreciate the Indian UPS and inverter manufacturers and importers, Electronics Bazaar carried an opinion survey based on the companies’ manufacturing capabilities, product range, reach and service capabilities. We contacted experts in power electronics associations, traders, battery manufacturers and customers of UPS and inverters, who shared with us their preferences of leading UPS/ inverter companies. While this list is by no means comprehensive, it provides a glimpse into India’s leading UPS/inverter companies. We are not ranking them, but listing them in alphabetical order. We hope our initiative will be beneficial for our reader.

The need is to nurture Indian industry to meet domestic and strategic requirements and create a market for ‘Made in India’ products

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) vendors should be lauded for their efforts to enable manufacturers deliver the best products to their customers. Their awareness about the latest technologies and products, the efforts they put in to offer world class services and solutions, and the diligence in providing the right products and solutions, give a competitive edge to the electronics industry. Based on these parameters, Electronics Bazaar contacted the industry experts and electronics associations, who shared with us their preferences. The result of which is an unbiased listing of some of the leading vendors in the Indian SMT market. We are not ranking them but only listing them in an alphabetical order

Both modified sine wave power inverters and true sine power inverters are used for office purposes. These are constantly modified to provide better efficiency and stability

The battery industry in India has more than doubled in the last four years and is still expanding at a rate of 13.4 per cent per annum till 2014. This growth can be attributed to the automotive segment as well as to other industrial sections, which are powered by inverter and UPS like telecom, railways, power and other industries. With the country facing power shortage in several pockets, the usage of inverters and UPS has gone up significantly, increasing the usage of batteries as well. In an effort to appreciate the Indian battery manufacturers, we at Electronics Bazaar contacted a large number of industry experts and electronic associations, who shared with us their preferences of battery brands. The result of which is an unbiased listing of leading battery manufacturers in India. We are not ranking them, but only listing them in an alphabetical order

‘EBTop 15 UPS and inverter manufacturers’is our attempt to enlist the best-performing companies in this domain with regards to their revenue. The power sector has been witnessing a very healthy growth over the last fiscal and this is distinctly reflected in the companys’revenues.We commenced this process approximately two months back, when we compiled the list of all major and minor UPS and inverter players and started contacting them. Some companies were quite eager to be part of this initiative, whereas there were a few who refrained from disclosing their revenues as it is against their company policy. This time, we have also made two separate lists of the strongest players in the UPS and inverter segments, respectively. We, at Electronics Bazaar, hope that more and more players will participate in this exercise in our future issues.

Surface mount technology (SMT) has started creating waves in the country, which has been made conspicuous by the kind of amplification SMT play­ers are experiencing in the Indian market. For the second time since our inception, we are conducting this study (last year, we carried it in the February 2008 issue) and are pleased that we have received a robust response this year as well. This is the second anniversary issue of Electronics Bazaar and we would like to extend our gratitude to all our readers for be­ing appreciative of the ‘EB Top’ banner.
