Schneider Electric Delivers Power Certainty, Convenience with new APC SurgeArrest and Universal Laptop Charger lines
ANDOVER, Mass. and LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, today expanded its portfolio of power quality and protection products with the introduction of a new line of universal APC by Schneider Electric Laptop Chargers and APC by Schneider Electric SurgeArrest Essential surge protectors. Unveiled at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the new solutions deliver reliable and secure power to ensure Certainty in a Connected World.
In today's always-on, access economy culture, a consistent and continuous supply of quality power is of the utmost importance at home, in the office or while traveling. There is no tolerance for damaging and costly power quality issues that affect productivity, efficiency and safety. The universal APC Laptop Chargers and SurgeArrest Essential surge protectors provide safe, convenient and reliable power and protection against damaging surges and spikes, ensuring connectivity anytime, anywhere.
"In our increasingly connected world, tech-savvy consumers cannot and will not tolerate dead batteries or outages caused by power fluctuations that disrupt connectivity and potentially cost money," said Jamie Bourassa, vice president, Offer Management and Channel Marketing, Schneider Electric. "As our reliance on electronic grows, so does our need for convenient, high-quality power; the new line of universal APC Laptop Chargers and SurgeArrest Essential offer vital protection from the unreliable and unpredictable nature of power."
Reliable Power for Virtually Any Laptop
Today's heavy use of laptops necessitates backup power beyond the capacity of overtaxed built-in batteries, but long lifespans combined with a growing variety of laptop models means compatible aftermarket chargers can be difficult to find. The universal APC Laptop Chargers are designed to simplify work and life on the go by providing additional, alternative or replacement computer charging for virtually any laptop on the market. Available in seven models and two power levels—36 Watts and 65 Watts—APC Laptop Chargers are compatible with Dell, Acer, HP, Lenovo, Samsung and Chromebook portable PCs. The patented, screwlock tips, which minimize wear and tear on critical components to preserve the laptop's charging port, help ensure the charger or accompanying tips aren't left behind.
Featuring a compact and slim design for easy portability, APC Laptop Chargers, including the NP19V36W and NP19V65W, provide four layers of advanced power protection to ensure safety and efficiency:
- Over temperature protection: Protects laptop and charger from overheating by discontinuing the charge when the battery temperature surpasses recommended levels.
- Over charging protection: Extends battery life by checking voltage and current, and automatically shutting down when laptop is fully charged.
- Over voltage protection: Prevents voltage spikes from reaching electronics by regulating the power when a transient load occurs.
- Short circuit protection: Prevents battery from potential deformation by shutting down in the event of a shorted circuit.
Power Protection
Surges, lightning and power grid fluctuations can have a devastating impact on electronics, cause premature failure of computers, peripherals and other sensitive equipment, and pose potential safety hazards. APC SurgeArrest Essential, including the new P6WU2 as well as the PE63, PE66, PE66W, PE6U2, PE6T, PE76 and PE76W launched in the fall of 2016, safeguard against damage to electronics from power disturbances—ensuring reliability and saving data, money and time. Key features of the new P6WU2 include:
- Catastrophic event protection: Safeguards against lightning, power surges and spikes; reliable thermal fusing helps ensure safe operation under all conditions.
- Charge and protect: Six outlets and two 2.4 amp USB charging ports powers up to eight devices at once.
- Guaranteed lifetime protection: Multi-stage suppression circuitry ensures life-long protection.
- Surge protection LED: Illuminates when the unit is on and supplying conditioned utility power to the plugged-in equipment.
- Building wiring fault indicator: Warns of potentially dangerous wiring problems in the wall circuitry.
