Alpha Technologies receives approval from Caltrans

 

Leading power systems provider Alpha Technologies Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has earned "approved vendor" status from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

Alpha met Caltrans' requirements by making upgrades to the input and output connections and system settings of the Alpha FXM 1100 UPS Module and the Alpha Maintenance Bypass Switch. Thanks to Alpha's innovative design being both modular and firmware based, this was accomplished in a very short time period, maintaining our high standard of reliability.

To have achieved approval after a very thorough review and testing process is a testament to the quality that Alpha offers in its products and services."
