Phoenix Contact opens Power Reliability Application Center

Middletown, PA – Visitors to Phoenix Contact USA’s Customer Technology Center (CTC) in Houston can now experience an interactive, hands-on Power Reliability Application Center. Design engineers and system integrators can play with the technology, simulate real-world applications, and see first-hand how power products react in different situations.

“This interactive new area is like a science center for adults. We want customers to explore this area and play around and learn about the important aspects of power reliability for the industrial market – not just power supplies, but also surge protection, power distribution, and energy monitoring,” said Jeremy Valentine, director of product marketing – power reliability. “With this new focus, the Houston CTC becomes a training, education, and support hub for our employees, customers, and partners.”

Phoenix Contact has also expanded the CTC staff to include experts who focus exclusively on power reliability. This team will host a series of hands-on training classes teaching how to design, build, and run reliable power systems for different applications. During the free, three-day class, participants will perform tests and measurements to learn how the different parts of the power system work together. Breakout workshops will explore in-depth applications and unique scenarios.

Phoenix Contact opened the Houston CTC in 2007. The 15,000-square-foot facility is located at 3993 W. Sam Houston Parkway North, Suite 500.
