03 September 2010 Emerson Completes Chloride Acquisition
July 2009 Completion of Chloride Group PLC’s acquisition of DB Power Electronics Pvt Ltd
DB POWER - Recipient of Maharashtra IT Award 2007
DB UPS – the MOST PREFERED INDIAN UPS BRAND
Now Part of Emerson Network Power; Broadens Global Power Capability St. Louis, September 3, 2010 – Emerson (NYSE: EMR) today announced it completed its acquisition of Chloride Group PLC, which now joins strong global product brands within Emerson Network Power. This acquisition helps drive Emerson’s long-term global growth strategy for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and integrated data center solutions. As previously announced, the purchase price was approximately $1.5 billion. Rapid growth in data traffic and a critical business need for high availability is driving the need for power continuity solutions, and Emerson is positioning itself in a significant way to support fast-growing communications and computing infrastructure markets. Emerson will host a brief presentation to discuss this transaction and other acquisition and divestiture activity at 1:30 p.m. Central Time (2:30 p.m. Eastern Time) on Thursday, Sept. 9. A live webcast of the presentation will be available in the Investor Relations area of Emerson’s Web site at www.Emerson.com/financial Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR), is the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™ from grid to chip for telecommunication networks, data centers, health care and industrial facilities. Emerson Network Power provides innovative solutions and expertise in areas including AC and DC power and precision cooling systems, embedded computing and power, integrated racks and enclosures, power switching and controls, infrastructure management, and connectivity.

About Emerson Emerson, based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, is a global leader in bringing technology and engineering together to provide innovative solutions for customers in industrial, commercial, and consumer markets through its network power, process management, industrial automation, climate technologies, and appliance and tools businesses. Sales in fiscal 2009 were $20.9 billion. For more information, visit www.Emerson.com. (July 2009) Completion of Chloride Group PLC’s acquisition of DB Power Electronics Pvt Ltd, Pune, India. Chloride Group PLC (“Chloride”) (www.chloridepower.com) and India’s leading UPS company, DB Power Electronics Pvt Ltd (“DB”) (www.dbups.com), are pleased to announce that Chloride has acquired a 90% majority shareholding in DB effective from 20 July 2009. This follows the establishment of a strategic partnership in 2005 when DB became Chloride’s exclusive partner in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. This strategic partnership has been very successful helping DB to generate significant sales growth (from both its own products and those of Chloride) over the last 4 years exceeding INR 250 Crore and employing more than 700 people throughout India. DB’s newly built manufacturing facilities in Pune and Satara are world class and have been supplying product into Chloride’s international sales network for some time in addition to the Indian market, where DB is a market leader in high power UPS. Chloride and DB recently opened a new purpose built R&D facility in Pune, India to develop cutting edge technologies and products for the Indian market place, and which will now play a leading role in the development of Chloride Group’s products and services for international markets. DB will continue to develop, manufacture and promote its own field proven and highly reliable UPS products in India, alongside the complementary Chloride products and services – both standard and industrial. The DB Power name is valued and respected throughout the region and will continue to be used. The combination of the Chloride and DB product and services offering is unique in the Indian power protection market and together the business will develop further for the benefit of all customers. (May 2004) Freedom from Harmonic Pollution by first of its kind Active filter from DB Power The Industrial and Commercial applications use of devices like Computers, UPSs, AC / DC drives, Energy saving lamps, Rectifiers, High density DC power supplies, Solid State Lighting ballasts, SMPS etc. is on rise. These devices draw non-linear type of current from the electrical supply. This leads to what is called as Harmonic Pollution, which has bad effects on the quality of power and it creates problems for user as well as the supply authority. Thus Harmonic Pollution of the utility supply is a growing concern across the high power consumers like Datacenters, Process and Automation Industry, Hospitals, Commercial buildings, Retail malls etc. The high harmonic distortion affects the power usage, reduces productivity, components life & can even damage the equipments. They also affect performance of DG sets & Transformers, cables and switchgears used and causes great drain on the power supply. They have detrimental effect on telephones and sensitive electrical equipments. A spurious tripping of the switchgear due to Harmonics can stop the entire production line, can give spurious results for the medical diagnosis equipments. In present days the supply authorities are facing the challenges of maintaining voltage and VAr support as number of non-linear loads are increasing and T&D capacity is becoming more constrained. These has led to load shedding of 12 – 14 hrs in many residential as well commercial areas. DB Power Electronics (P) Ltd., three decades old Premier Power Electronics company in India, has come to the rescue of all the harmonics affected users. Their State-of-Art designed Digital Active Power Conditioner, named as SWAN, is a unique answer to all the harmonic problems. Swan dynamically eliminates the Harmonics from the utility power source and improves on the Power Factor nearer to unity. This Active Filter is based on Synchronous Rotating Reference Frame principle and uses Swan works in shunt with the load. It is easier to add it in the existing setup, even without taking load shutdown. It can be used at the source end with higher currents and lower harmonics. With Swan, the reliability and profitability of the installation increases drastically. For an electric power consumer, optimization of an existing power system increases productivity and decreases utility charges, and improves equipment life. Knowing the damaging effects of Harmonic pollution on power utility sources, globally, Electricity Regulators demand very strict control on the level of Harmonics. European and US countries have proposed standards to responsibly engineer systems considering the electrical environment. IEEE 519-1992 and IEC 555 have evolved. Working principle: Swan uses latest technology to eliminate harmonics injected into the mains supply by non-linear loads, as well supplies inductive power demanded by the load so as to correct input power factor to near unity.
Current harmonic elimination is achieved by sensing load current and extracting harmonic current signal. This and the reactive current signal together are used to generate a reference for the controlled current source connected at the PCC (Point of Common Connection) of source and load. This result in the mains supplying only real power for the load and reactive and harmonics being sourced from the Swan. This is carried out dynamically, so that a change in the load pattern or its nature is immediately responded to, without any manual intervention. The DAPC compensates the harmonics generated by nonlinear loads by generating the similar harmonic components in opposite.
