We had a customer approach us with requirements for a burn-in application of >600kW at 800VDC. While Intepro’s initial cost was higher than our competitor’s, our customer saw the value of auto-ranging and made this a pretty easy decision.

Intepro’s proposed package of 23 x 30kW/1000V Legacy units was around $160k higher than our competitor’s. While the competitor’s product was able to meet the requirements of the initial program, how would it fare once the program was over? As Intepro’s DC Products feature auto-ranging, they can provide full power down to 1/3 of the voltage range. That means that after the burn-in program was over, our Legacy Units could be repurposed to any 30kW application requiring 350-1000 VDC. The competitive units only provided full-rated power at max voltage so the only way their product could be repurposed was to find another program with identical requirements. Since that does not happen too often, our customer saw the value of our product knowing that it could prevent the need to purchase additional supplies down the road. In addition, our energy calculations using moderate usage estimates showed a significant savings by going with Intepro versus the competition. In fact, the difference in prices between Intepro and the competition was made up by the estimated energy savings over the first year of the program.
