Providing Continuity of Electrical PowerAMETEK Solidstate Controls was established in 1962 with the purpose of providing continuity of power to businesses. This is accomplished with Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, inverters, industrial batteries, power conditioners and much more. While our products have advanced with the movement of times, our focus has not. We have installed more than 50,000 systems around the world.

Reliable Energy ProductsIndustrial process and power generating businesses are subject to severe consequences when power problems occur. Human safety, the environment and lost revenue are at stake. Our 20+ years MTBF (mean time between failure) – based on actual field experience with routine maintenance – is the highest available rating in the industry. This technology allows you to reliably keep operations running at a very low cost for the 40-year expected life of the equipment.
