Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, this AMETEK business has shipped and installed more than 50,000 systems in rugged environments around the world.

The Difference We Make

AMETEK Solidstate Controls has always been energized by meeting the challenges their clients face and delivering power quality solutions specific to their needs.

Solidstate Controls recently expanded their reliable industrial battery charging solutions with the modular Ascend High Frequency Charger. Designed with remote applications in mind, the Ascend modules utilize load sharing so even if one module stops working the output will continue running and an alarm notification is sent out. The modules are easily accessible, so replacement is quick and simple making for a low mean time to repair (MTTR). Ascend also features an animated LCD Touch Screen Display that shows the process flow, voltage, and alarm readings for quick status updates.
