WORLDWIDE REPUTATION components and systems.
FOR EXCELLENCE.”
Our first commercial product–a
three phase thyristor firing board
– Frank Bourbeau, President –was introduced in 1983. The
FCOG-6100, the first of its kind
to incorporate a proprietary digital
LSI device, remains the North
American industry standard with
over 35,000 now in service.
In 1985, Frank Bourbeau,
Enerpro’s founder, was awarded a
patent for a controller that syn-
chronizes wind turbine powered
induction generators with the
electric grid. Over 2000 of these
simple and effective controllers
are in service at windfarms in
Europe and in North America.

variable frequency converter for
use on diesel-electric locomotives.
Then in 1991, we introduced a
unique, power quality enhancing,
twelve-pulse firing circuit that
uses a six-phase, phase-locked
loop to achieve 30° equidistant
gating with excellent bandwidth.
In 1992, Enerpro began
development of a high perfor-
mance, high efficiency battery
charger for the emerging battery-
powered bus market. And then in
1996, we introduced the first
network-based battery
management system.
Our experience and knowledge
in power electronics control
technology is enhanced by our
innovative packaging solutions–
particularly for harsh
environments, including high
shock and vibration.
Time and again, we have been
called upon to apply our power
electronics control expertise to
the challenging requirements of
some of the world’s best known
corporations and research
institutions.
Our charter is simple: To design
and manufacture cost-effective,
innovative solutions for today’s
power electronics control needs.
