The system of DC
Operating DC Voltage Systems (ODVS)
Modern system of electric power supply of power engineering facilities and industrial enterprises can not be developed without operating DC voltage systems (ODVS).
Prime area of ODVS application is uninterruptible (autonomous operation during not less than 30 minutes) electric power supply of medium- and high-power facilities in power production (110-750kV substations), oil and gas sectors, industry, communications and telecommunications facilities.
An urgent need to modernize and refit the electric energy facilities, as well as to commission new capacities requires reliable systems of uninterruptible power supply that meet the present-day operating requirements.

Frequency converters and soft starters
Frequency converters (soft starters) or variable speed drives (VSD) are used for automation of installations with electric motors, motor speed control, energy-saving, and help to reduce operating costs and deterioration of operating mechanisms.
Soft starters make it possible to have а smooth (reduced-current) start and deceleration of electric motors.
The greatest economic effect is achieved due to use of frequency converters for pumps and fans in case of relatively large extent of motor speed control. Use of frequency converters in the systems of ventilation, conditioning and water supply have actually become a standard.
