Tech Power Adding

Manufacturing Facility

Tech Power Controls Co., designer and manufacturer of electrical power conversion equipment, is adding a new manufacturing facility at a site adjacent to its headquarters building in South- west Houston. The new 24,000 sq. ft. facility, not only allows the company to consolidate leased space operations, but also more than doubles its total manu- facturing assembly area. The new build- ing is slated for an August completion .

American Superconductor,

U.S. Navy Sign Contract

American Superconductor Corpora- tion (AMSC) signed a contract with the

U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) to design a high temperature superconducting (HTS) motor for naval ship propulsion systems.

Under the agreement, American

Superconductor will design a 25,000-hp

HTS ship propulsion motor for future navy ships. The application of HTS technology to ship propulsion is expect- ed to yield inherently quieter motors that have much higher power density, and are approximately one-fifth the size and weight of conventional motors of the same hp rating.
