Generator and power systems industries

Scientists at Bell Labs invented the transistor in 1948, and with it came the Information Age—a tectonic shift from an industrial economy to a technological one, where information and the devices and systems that generate, process, transmit, receive and store it are worth their weight in gold.

The equipment you use to power your job is essential to its success—and it's often one of your biggest expenses, too.

As data center power demands continue to rise, electrical engineers are under increasing pressure to design power systems that are reliable, scalable, and ready for the future.

Long after a purchase order is signed, a wide range of decisions and operating conditions influence total cost of ownership (TCO) over the life of an engine.

Technology pushes our world forward at an exponential rate.
