A-iPower, a manufacturer of portable generators, pressure washers, water pumps, and gasoline engines, introduces its SUA15000EC portable generator with powerful 15,000 starting watts and 12,000 running watts. Pure sine wave technology delivers less than five percent THD (total harmonic distortion), producing clean power to safely run sensitive electronic and digital products.
Its high performance makes it an excellent choice for construction sites or backup for a commercial business or home. With a 680cc/24hp OHV twin-cylinder engine, combined with an efficient high-output alternator designed and manufactured by Senci, this unit delivers greater peak wattage allowing motor-driven appliances and tools to operate simultaneously. An intelligent automatic voltage regulator (AVR) helps minimize voltage fluctuations and delivers consistent power under load. A keyless one-touch button electric start provides an effortless startup.
Easy power connections are made through multiple front panel outlets. Weather-resistant outlet covers offer added protection from the environment and rugged working conditions. An eight-gallon, heavy-duty, all-steel tank with built-in fuel gauge delivers an average run time of seven hours at 50 percent load.
Other features include low-oil shutdown to automatically protect the engine from potential damage; a dual element air filter to help extend engine life, and a built-in DC Adapter plug with DC charging cables for battery charging or use with a USB adapter.
Outlets include two NEMA 120VAC 20A GFCI-protected outlets; one NEMA 120/140VAC 50A, 14-50R industrial-grade outlet; one NEMA 120VAC 30A L14 twist-lock outlet; and one NEMA 120VAC 30A, L5-30R twist-lock outlet.
For heavy-duty loads and improved traction and mobility over rough terrain, the SUA15000EC has four-inch, four-way, never-flat wheels. Wheel locks allow for safely parking the generator. A lifting hook is included for added security on the jobsite.
A 12V-36AH maintenance-free battery also is included.

Highly efficient variable speed drive reduces energy consumption
Xylem, a global water technology leader, has released the fifth generation HYDROVAR, an intelligent pump controller that accurately adapts to system demands, helping end users realize cost and energy savings while achieving optimum system performance. The new drive can reduce energy consumption of a pump by as much as 70 percent.
“A variable frequency drive (VFD) is an important component of a pump system that is designed to achieve the highest energy efficiencies, saving operators time and money,” said Wes Lobo, Global Business Unit Director for Industry and Agriculture at Xylem. “We’ve developed the next generation HYDROVAR to be an advanced control system with expanded capabilities, providing users in commercial/residential buildings, public utilities and general industry the most streamlined way to achieve these results.”
Capable of running systems with up to eight pumps, the new HYDROVAR has multimaster functionality, enabling each individual pump to take control if one or more units or sensors are not active. This continuous booster system operation ensures reliable water pressure across various residential, industrial and commercial applications. The drive line also offers an expanded power range throughout 21 HYDROVAR models, including applications for 208v electrical supply.
Easy installation and commissioning
The fifth generation HYDROVAR is compatible with the Generation 4 HYDROVAR and is designed to accommodate both new and retrofit installations, including premium efficient motor designs. A newly added wiring harness includes a separated wiring chamber with a dedicated cover that provides safe and easy access to the wiring, while protecting the unit’s electronic components. The clip-and-go mounting system further simplifies the direct-fitting process.
Setup and commissioning are also fast and simple. The start-up menu guides users through every step of HYDROVAR’s commissioning process, while the larger LCD display shows an expanded range of system parameters for standard motors. This functionality enables installers to manage a wider range of data, ensuring accurate programming at setup for expanded system applications ranging from closed-loop HVAC to pressure boosting for irrigation and commercial buildings.
The HYDROVAR comes standard with BACnet and Modbus capabilities for seamless Building Management System (BMS) integration. Optional Wi-Fi for remote connection to the unit via any mobile device, laptop or PC is also available.
Extended system lifecycle, efficient operation and simple retrofitting
Wear and tear caused by fixed-speed operation is minimized due to innovative features, including advanced motor control software that extends the life of the equipment by reducing heat. The HYDROVAR also has an embedded Current Total Harmonic Distortion (THDi) filter that lengthens the overall life of other connected equipment and prevents cables from overheating — without the need for reactor filters.
Using HYDROVAR with an existing pump can lead to significant energy savings, especially when operating at partial loads. It can be efficiently retrofitted to any standard fixed-speed pump motor suitable for variable speed operation. HYDROVAR’s direct-mounting method does not require a special adaptor, and is available for power ranges from .75 to 30 HP, making the retrofit process efficient, easy and cost-effective.
“It’s common practice within the industry to oversize pumps for the application, which uses much more energy than needed for typical operation,” Lobo said. “The fifth generation HYDROVAR varies motor speed to match system demands, requiring less power for lower operational costs. Additionally, the soft start-and-stop functionality adapts operation according to system requirements, dramatically extending equipment life.”
HYDROVAR’s modular design enables a customized fit for any configuration of pumps, and can be motor or wall mounted for use with any manufacturer’s pump. Configuration options include a range of a single pump to as many as eight pumps to meet any application requirements.
Introduced in 1995, the HYDROVAR variable speed drive has been continually updated, confirming its legacy as the industry’s choice for optimizing fixed speed pump efficiency. In addition, Xylem’s downloadable energy savings calculator can determine potential energy use and cost savings with the HYDROVAR.
